"What Not To Wear" in the surfer's lineup...
I have a lot of catch-up to do in the next couple weeks, but this article is just begging for attention to an inevitable problem.
I'm not sure how I'm going to react when I encounter it, but I think this type of behavior is just begging for an order from the rest of the group to paddle in and to not come back out until you're ready to surf...

I suppose it was inevitable.

That's awful!!
I'm trying to amplify on that but I'm practically sputtering. A person ought to be able to get away from calls from their work SOMEWHERE..... !!!!

I thought for a moment the water droplet on the lens was purposefully blurring out where the phoneholder was inserted.

I am speechless. Of course, there have been other inventions that seem preposterous in my view only to actually take the country by storm. I am not good at recognizing the next best, must gotta have seller.
