I might offend some people with this one, but I have to get it off my chest. In fact, this might very well be the first thing that really got me going on this whole "y'know what really burns my toast" rampage. That said...
You know what really burns my toast? Those cell phone ear piece things. Man I hate those things. I hate them with a passion! Is it convenient? Of course! Especially in some states, such as Connecticut and New York, where it's illegal to drive with a cell phone to your ear, but that's probably the only instance where that device is acceptable. I can't stand it when people are walking around with them on in the grocery store, at work, at a restaurant... in a movie theater! Is it really that difficult to flip open a phone and put it to your ear? Furthermore, why would you wear it as a fashion accessory? I can't stand it! Yeah, we get it, you're so busy that you can't take one second to put a phone to your ear. WHOOPIDY DOO! Why don't you use that ear piece thing to call someone who cares!
Cell phone ear piece things really burn my toast!
DISCLAIMER: If I have offended anyone with this post, please do me a favor and take it as a hint.
Godspeed!
Posted by jed at November 11, 2006 11:06 AMThey really bug me,too. I always think that these people are asking me a question or talking to themselves. They walk around the store where i work chatting away about all sorts of personal things - into thin air! And while I'm waiting on them,too. The ultimate rudeness!!!!!!
Posted by: Granny at November 11, 2006 11:09 PMAs one who spends a lot of time in airports, I could not agree more!! The terminals start to look like an insane asylum with people walking around talking to themselves....
At least on the plane you get a brief respite from it. But if they ever do allow cell phone use on planes,(God help us all)I will be like that guy in the movie Airplane who hangs himself!!
Coming from a techie, that is blasphemous
