There's a 24 hour diner in my neighborhood that I once found myself sitting in late one night having a cup of coffee and a cookie and listening to two of the most inane conversations I've ever heard in my life. In the booth next to mine were two youngish girls. The first one, Christine Wilson ( I know her name because her friend kept yelling, "Christine Wilson! Get off the phone!"), was on the phone with her head leaning against the window as if this would help her get further away from her friend who was yelling at her. She was talking to some guy on the other line and telling him that she wants to "move back there" and asking him if he smells. Then after getting what I can only assume was the answer she was looking for, she tells this guy, " I mow the lawn but only a little and only for esthetics reasons." I almost choked on my cookie. I was a good 6 feet from this girl, maybe more, and I could hear that clear as a bell. Then her friend gets a call and starts talking to whomever called her about hair plugs and asking if the new hair piece is working out.
What is wrong with people? Don't they realize that their conversations are not private? Why are they sitting together to share a meal if they are just going to sit across from each other and talk on their phones? And not even to each other? I hate cell phones- they turn normal people into rude, selfish assholes.
