Freaking Ridiculous

Okay so I set this up to be "Professional", but what's the point if I can't add a little personal touch, right?

Things from your personal life can help to form a "Professional argument".

Today's topic.

Idiots.

More specifically, idiots on cell phones.

And far more specific than this, idiots on cell phones who choose to sit next to you while you try to do work. I just don't understand some people, you know?

Clearly you are sitting down, typing an assignment or trying to do something. And instead of having the courtesy to just leave the room to talk to somebody, especially when making the phone call yourself, somehow RandomPhoneBoy chooses to sit next to me and let me hear how his friend is morbidly sick and can't email him some work or something. Just what I wanted to hear.

Now I know I'm being too particular about all of this, but really, the common courtesy just gets to me. Other people exist in the world, and it would be nice if RandomPhoneBoy learned that before sitting down next to me and letting me get insight to his life that frankly, nobody cares about.

Now that we're beyond the specifics, I'm starting to realize that people on cell phones in general just get me angry. You know how you see someone with really bad driving skills that are only worsened by having one hand on the wheel because they're too busy calling Kimberly to ask what time the party is tonight? You know, it's the same girl that swerves into your lane and almost causes a head-on collision, or the girl who SEES THAT YOU ARE CROSSING THE STREET AND INSTEAD OF WAITING PATIENTLY, DECIDES TO TRY AND BEAT YOU THERE, RESULTING IN HITTING YOU WITH THE FRONT BUMPER OF HER CAR AND YOU SCREAMING "WHAT THE F*** IS YOUR PROBLEM?"... But I'm not bitter, I swear. I just don't get people on cell phones.

I think that really the worst is when it's someone you're trying to have an important conversation with. For example, when talking about having a scientific discovery that in fact there is a way to transport from Point A to Point B in less than 4 seconds so that I never have to walk to class in -4 degree weather again, or perhaps conversing the importance of the xylophone in modern music, using your cell phone might be appropriate because, well, that stuff is boring.

But if I'm talking to you about how hungry I am or how hilarious some random moment in my life was, you better believe that if you pull your cell phone out, I am going to donkeypunch you with intense vigor. See below:















And now that RandomPhoneBoy is gone, I will divulge into more useless things. Farewell, Blogspot.
