I've seen several examples recently of combining things that shouldn't be combined.  Some would say these all have something to do with thinning the herd.  I like that analogy. 
  1. Using a cell phone while running.  I can't imagine it would be a very meaningful or important conversation, not to mention the question of why a person would carry a cell phone while running in the first place.
  2. Using a cell phone while hiking.  This one wasn't too weird, but it was in the middle of the woods, miles from anything, going up and down steep hills covered with rocks.  Plus, the guy was with his family, so he was ignoring them at a time when they were probably supposed to be bonding in the first place.
  3. Using a cell phone while biking.  I saw this on the busy streets of New York City, and I pretended to not notice as the guy pulled into flowing traffic, hoping I wouldn't have to witness a brutal death.
  4. Smoking while riding a motorcycle.  This one isn't all that bad, but it just doesn't make sense.  The guy was riding with one hand, holding his cigarette with the other.  I was under the impression you needed two hands to ride a motorcycle, and I would imagine the cigarette wouldn't last too long in 40 mph winds.
