I really hate being forced to listen to other peoples conversations. Cell phones really are the devil. I'm allowed to say that because I work for a cell phone company (it pays the bills).
I'm on the train back to Boston with devious_photos and there's not one but 2 people on the phone right next to us. One of them actually said "Oh no, it's ok because there's not really any one around." The train is actually pretty much full. He's talking about his friend and how someone they are seeing is not that attractive but sometimes that doesn't matter. This other guy is giving investing advice. I want to stick red hot pokers in my ears.
At least it's not as bad as this one time while I was working. This guy came in, late 30's ish, and essentially just wanted to bitch about nothing I had any control over (this happens a lot in my line of work, so I'm pretty used to it). Anyhoo, I'm giving him some suggestions, and his phone rings. He of course answers it and then proceeds to have a conversation, RIGHT NEXT TO ME, about how he needs some free samples of Viagra! He needs free samples because he can't afford them, and his health insurance won't cover it.... yadda yadda yadda. I really wanted to stick red hot pokers in my ears.
Needless to say I was less than enthused when he finally got off the phone so he could finish his bitch-fest.
People really suck sometimes.
