Oh those cell phones



Have you noticed as I have that cell phone users are getting MORE AND MORE rude? The other day - and NO, I am not lying about this. I was in the bathroom at a certain grocery store. In another stall this woman said, "So, what are you doing?" I thought (silly me) that she was talking to me, then realized that she was ON THE PHONE!, so I said "oh... not much, just taking a pee in a public bathroom next to one more SELF-IMPORTANT twit on a CELL PHONE!" and wishing that I was just about anywhere else than here right now. She of course is going on with her conversation with someone about oh not much either, just about to do some shopping, then going to pick up junior, go do this or that, etc. FOR JESUS' SAKE!!! GET OFF THE PHONE! No one on the phone wants to hear you peeing, and NO ONE in the bathroom wants to hear you on the phone.
Oh - here's another one! I was in a certain clothing store, and this TRULY rude woman was walking around the store talking about her impending surgery on her cell phone, telling her entire audience about the steps being taken, where she has to drive, over what mountain pass, etc. I'm certain the entire store could hear her, because I first heard her from the other side of the store, OK, it's a small place, but GAWD already!! She wandered near where I was, and I just finally glared at her in askance and asked her to please take that damn thing somewhere else!!! She said "excuse me?" and I glared at her again and repeated, "Please take that damn thing somewhere else, I really don't care to hear about your surgery, and I think it's really rude that you're using that thing in here." Well, I got a huff, but she did move away.
People --- PLEASE!!! If you must yap on the phone, go out to your car and do it! (Talking and driving - we'll leave for another conversation).
