Have you ever felt like strangling one of those 'loud mouthed' cell phone users who seem to sit near you in a restaurant or any other place and forcibly share their private call with you.
Here's one solution provided by a commuter on how to combat this display of bad manners. After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed (Union) for (Oshawa).
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice, "Hi sweetheart - it's Eric. I'm on the train. Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting. No, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart" etc., etc
.
Fifteen minutes later at (Pickering), he was still talking loudly , when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice:
"Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!"
My guess would be that Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.
Love it!!! This is awesomesauce!!
ReplyDeleteFunny story but an old one. I've heard it before.
ReplyDeleteHave to agree with Dakota and Anonymous. Just trying to figure out where I've heard it recently.
ReplyDeleteIt's Thursday, and I'm just about fried and ready for the weekend. One more day to go!
I think this story was in the Shoutouts section of Tonight newspaper (a couple weeks ago maybe?).
ReplyDeleteEpic indeed! I wish I had balls like that!
ReplyDeleteYup. Shoutouts.
