Maybe I am turning into a feminist, but, I find that offensive. First, you sound as if having a conversation is bad or annoying. Then you imply that to be traditional, women have to dominate conversation, you then also imply that the conversation of women is not stimulating enough for you to have to use your brain.

In regards to drivers, I find a quick and polite conversation with the offending person along the topic of how they would feel about going to jail, being responsible for the death of a person, having to pay the deceased medical bills before their life support is turned off, how their family is going to survive while they are locked away and how the family of the dead person must feel. Of course, it helps to have a crowbar in an obvious position while doing this. I have almost been hit by cars numerous times just when walking from where my car is parked to my workplace. People seem to think that now they are in a carpark they aren't obligated to use things such as indicators and driver at a safe speed. Wait, they don't do that on the road anyway. But it is noticably worse in carparks, and around this time of year.
