Cell Phone Mania

No, I couldn't stop posting. I must get more of my intolerances out before quitting. After all, I've cancelled my shrink session for today.

• Did you ever walk down the street and have a person ask you a question? Well, it has happened to me many times. Then I answer, only to find out that they are speaking into their cells (via headphone -- what the hell do you call those things??).
• Or, you're on the bus and another passenger gets a call from his parolee and lights into him about how he's broken the rules by leaving the state prematurely?
  
• What about the people who speak so LOUDLY, plus set their cells so that you can hear what the other person is saying to them? There have been occasions when I've offered them the answer to their question, hoping they would get the picture. They did not!!
• Then there are the people who find it very important to shelter themselves from the weather conditions and situate themselves at the top of the subway stairs and stand there talking. No one can enter the stairway, nor exit. ??????
  
• There are also those who exhibit their feelings regarding their conversation with body movements (they either come to a dead stop, or converse with their hands and arms (thereby almost smacking you in the face)).
• Then there are the ones who fall asleep on the subway and don't wake up to their exceedingly annoying ring tones.
• What about when you're talking to one of them on their cell and they ask you to talk fast because they're going to lose you. It takes you five additional calls to just finish your one sentence.
• Or, you're speaking to them and they ask you to hold because they have an important call they must take. So, obviously, you're a piece of crap, because you're the one they choose to have wait. Sometimes they leave you waiting 5-10 minutes. Other times, they completely forget that they were speaking to you and never return to the conversation.
  
• Now why in the world do cell phone holders have to have call-waiting on their service. For that matter, why does anyone? Is it a way of not missing anything at all in their (possibly miserable) lives???
• And, for those of us who do not want to succumb to cell phones.....what does the community offer us? A minuscule amount of public phone booths that are so disgustingly dirty, or broken, that you wouldn't want to call anyone ever.
  

Well, thanks for listening. I'm definitely feeling better now. Going to refuel now. I'll tune in with my next intolerance, or insane aberration.
