Samantha is driving and talking to her mother on the phone about swine flu when:
Mom: "So you need to make sure you grab a mask from the hospital so you'll have one blah blah bl-"
Me: "OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD"
Mom: "SAMANTHA what's the matter?!"
Me: "There is a SPIDER and it is crawling right in front of me and it is moving down toward my legs on my god oh my god"
Mom: "It's okay just pull the car over...."
Me: "I AM! It's just that I am going 85 miles an hour on a 4 lane highway talking on a cell phone haven't slept for 24 hours and a SPIDER IS TRYING TO KILL ME!"
Mom: "I KNOW! Be careful."

Speeding, talking on a
Speeding, talking on a cellphone while driving, and driving while fatigued are far more likely to kill you than swine flu. Or a spider.

I hope they don't take anyone else with them.
Sorry, but no
Maybe in a few years. Unfortunately she lived to tell the tale, so no nomination for her.
Any better than driving drunk?
I wonder if she (or anyone else) would post a blog entry about a drunk driving experience. I'm not sure driving 85mph with no sleep all while talking on the phone is any safer. Add in being worried about a spider and pulling over in a suspect location and you've got a situation where you're endangering plenty of other drivers.
I know there are times where you need to drive somewhere on limited sleep, but given the speeding and the rest of it maybe it's not the best thing to be broadcasting on the web. Just a thought.
Poor judgment atop poor judgment

Dedication
You have to admire her dedication to her job.
She's not just a coordinator of the transplant club for men; she's determined to become a member.
Spider?
Maybe I'm the only one who's ever encountered a gross bug all up in my grill while driving, but I'm sure that Tipsy Me and Sleepy Me are way better drivers than OMG THERE IS A CENTIPEDE ONE FOOT AWAY FROM ME Me.
Anyway, I'm sure that woke her up.
