Cell Phones and Curmudgeosity
If this makes me sound like a throw-back, so be it, but here's the story.
We're traveling. We stop at a rest area. I go into the little stall, minding my own business, as they say. A woman comes into the place, talking to someone else. She comments on the place in a way that lets me know she is on her cell phone. Telling someone about the facility. Okay.
It gets worse. She goes into the stall next to mine and makes water (as my grandmother used to say), all the time talking to whoever. The person cannot fail to hear the tinkle, the flush, etc.
I have long wondered if the people who talk incessantly on their cell phones actually have conversations with their friends and family when they are with them in person.
My guess is no. Judging from what I've seen in restaurants and stores, when they are with friends and/or family, that's the time when they call someone else on their cell phones.
