People
have always been known to walk around with their head in their rear,
but this is taking it a little too far.
This
guy about seventeen miles away from here walked into a train!
If
you don't want to read about it for yourself it's about a guy wearing
a hoodie and talking on a cell phone who walked into a moving train!
I've
seen on news programs and other TV programs where people have walked
into pools while walking through malls while talking on cell phones.
I've also seen them walk into many other things.
The
guy in the article above had his foot severed. Many only walk away
with bruises and bumps and I'd imagine a very badly bruised ego.
Yet
so many think nothing of talking or texting on their cell phones
while driving.
Now I'm all for evolution. The
dumbest and weakest don't survive. But when you decide to take
yourself out by using a cell phone while driving there is always the
chance you will take someone else out with you. Someone with the
sense that deserves to live.
Then you sit in restaurants
gabbing on your phone loud enough for people in the building next
door to hear your conversation.
Don't want me to listen? Don't
want me to join your conversation and make remarks? Quit talking so
loud or here's a clue, find a place to answer your phone where no one
will be bothered and have to hear you and you won't have that
problem.
Same thing goes for walking
through a store and yelling into your phone.
While you are distracted from your
grocery shopping and getting in my way, I am getting agitated with
your insensitiveness and will surely let you know by joining in on
your conversation.
There used to be things called
phone booths. You walked in, put your coins in the slot and made your
call. They had doors on them to keep others out of your conversation
and give you privacy.
I feel there should still be phone
booths. Maybe without the phones, but a booth with doors that could
be shut when you feel the need to talk to someone while out and
about.
Just what is the need to be
constantly connected to everyone through a phone anyway? I hear
people complaining about it! Always being bothered, never having a
minute to oneself...
You don't have to have it turned
on. You don't even have to answer it if you choose not to. When I'm
busy doing something the last thing I want is to be bothered by a
phone call and I don't answer it. I can check later, at my
convenience to see who called and then decide whether I want to call
them back or not. And I darned sure don't want bothered when I'm
having a meal. Well unless your calling to say you'll pay for that
meal.
I also get people, especially
young people who come to visit or stop by to chat while I'm outside
working. It never ceases to amaze me when they are constantly texting
instead of visiting with me. Many times while they are paying all
their attention to their phones I will walk away and go on with my
life and what I want to do rather than watching them text.
Think that's being ignorant? Just
how ignorant are you when wasting my time and life making me watch
you text? I have much better and much more enjoyable things to keep
me busy.
I am certainly not impressed by
your phone and the way you choose to use it!
I have two of them myself. I had
my home number switched to a wireless so when the storms take out the
regular line I still have a phone if I need it. I also have the one I
carry with me when out so I can stay in touch in case of an
emergency. The one thing you don't see or hear me doing is gabbing
incessantly on the danged thing.
It's there for my convenience and
my convenience is not to be bothered for BS or to be a bother to
anyone.
Think about those around you when
your phone rings and consider how your taking their smile away with
your rudeness.
Of course there are those times
your conversations make me smile, but I can survive without them.
