I have no idea why this morning was different than all the other gazillion mornings I ride the train but for the past 20 minutes, it seems like every person on this train with the exception of those sitting right near me, including my train co-horts: uncle, bouncer, jill and char l'hottie, has their cellys, blackberries and iPhones set to annoy-the-hell-outta everyone.
From obnoxious ringtones set too loud, to alerts ranging from retro video game sounds to a duck quacking ... and la piece de resistance - keypads not set to mute so every text message typed out was heard.
Then, the lady across from me phoned everyone in her address book ending each call with 'God Bless'.
I did make a comment loudly about 'volume' when a woman's cellphone set to play the Mexican Hat Dance went off for a 5th time which was met with 'If I knew how to I would'.
Here's a thought.
Turn your device off.
Surely you can do that much!
Or as my momma says, "Take the battery out!"
I am on the 5:53 train out of Whitby in the morning (yes, I know, stupidly early) and thankfully, it's fairly peaceful. Although for the few that are making a ton of calls, who the blazing balls of glory are you calling at that ungodly hour?!?!
ReplyDeleteI don't get that.
ReplyDeleteIf someone phoned me at 6am to have a conversation about what I did last night
You'd what?
ReplyDeleteThat same 5:53am train or the 5:47am train out of Oshawa (when I grab it)is also home to the Ajax ladies who think it is OK to scream at one another at a volume that is only suitable to use at a hockey game!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish that everyone would realize that at that time of the day I do not want to hear what you did last night either in person or on the phone........
But on the bright side, I think those ladies missed the train this morning.
ReplyDeleteno they were just down a couple of gals and sat at the back of the upper level! :)
