Today's topic is Cellphones. I'd really like to be hateful about it and scream at everyone for falling into a trend. Then yell about how everyone has one and they're gay, but I can't. Having owned seven cellphones in my life, i'm not one to judge others. This blog IS about cellphone etiquette. You know what I mean. There are just some people that are plain rude and obnoxious when they are on the phone. It's to the point where you just go... is that freakin necessary for you to do that while on the phone?
We'll go from mild to worse:
1) People who leave their cellphones on the option "LOUD ASS RING" during class: Sure, i'm guilty of this too, but then again, who would have figured that someone would attempt to call me at 9 AM??? And it wasn't even my mom, so they have NO excuse. But yea, this is not as annoying as much as it is funny. The whole class just stops and stares at the person who starts to fumble through his pockets and bag looking for his phone. As entertaining as it is though, i'd rather not see it happen.
2) People who are on their cellphones while they are paying for a purchase: My god, it never happened to me (cuz i'm a lazy bum and never work), but I just feel bad for those who have had this happen to them. I saw it TWICE consectively when I went to KFC to eat.
"May I take your order?"
"yea baby, what are you doin today?" *pauses to let them finish phone convo*
"Oh, yea, lemme get a... um... hmm... number 7. *to phone* did you have fun?"
"What would you like to drink?" *pauses again.*
"That's kool. Huh? My drink? Hold on baby, let me finish my order. Yea, lemme get a pepsi."
"Your total is 5.87 (plus your soul for putting me through this hell, but you can't hear me cuz you're on your fuggin cellphone)"
"Yea, i'm just getting food at KFC, i'll be over later tonight" *Phone on shoulder as he fumbles through pocket for money. Then proceeds to only hand her a five dollar bill*
*Looks at the guy like he's retarded and shows him the five*.
Well, you know how this conversation is going, so i'm just gonna stop here and move on.
3) People who talk on their cellphones like they are speaking to everyone in the world: Mind you, this happens when there isn't that much noise around. So it's not even that fact that it's noisy. Let's say... a library (but that's the next one). Or, perhaps a nice casual restaurant.
"YEA, WHAT ARE YOU UP TO?"
"THAT'S KOOL, I JUST WANTED TO SAY WHAT'S UP"
"NO, I WAS JUST PICKING MY ASS AND THERE WEREN'T THAT MANY BUTTCRUMBS"
"YES, I KNOW, BUT TOILET PAPER IS ITCHY".
4) People who talk on their cellphones in the library: Ok, so we all know proper library etiquette states that you shouldn't be loud at a library. So when the freak did it become ok to have a full voiced conversation in one? And I don't mean, hey, i gotta go cuz i'm at the library. I mean they had their feet kicked up and relaxed, and just talkin on the phone like they were at their own house or some shit.
5) People who call you while talking to other people that they are currently with:
*ring ring*
*Mystic picks up* "Talk to me dirty."
"Yo bitch, what are you up to?" *off to the side* "hahahhahaha, yo, don't do that!"
"... I'm chillin, what are you--*
*off to the side again* "Nigga! I said stop playing! Huh? what did you say?"
"... What are you--"
"Haha, that was funny, do it again! Yo man, i'll call you back later, peace."
"Alright..."
6) People who use headsets: Ok, this isn't as annoying as much as it just freaks me the hell out. Like, when someone walks past you, and all of a sudden they go "Yea, so what are you up to?" And you look behind you to see if he might be talking to anyone else, and when you dont' see anyone, you wonder who the hell he is? And then he walks past and he's still talking and you finally realize he has a ear piece on that just so happens to be flesh colored with super camouflauge.
7) And the super annoying winner goes to: People who fuggin talk on the phone while driving! Hell, at least me, I have the common courtesy to drive slow as hell and try to end the conversation as soon as I humanly can. Other people just freakin make turns without looking both ways, drive in the fast lane at 40 mph, and switch lanes going at 85 without looking. Every single time I go, oh my god, why is the person driving like that? I see him/her on a cellphone.
Use a cellphone, sure. Use it like a moron? NO. NO NO NO.
No.
