That brings up a great experience I just had (not).

1. About four days ago I went to a doctors appointment and Clearly
printed on 2 large signs "please turn off cellphones when entering this
office", Guess what? I counted 5 people texting or talking on their cell
phones.

2. From there I had to go to the hospital for some tests, so after
those were done I decided to go to their cafeteria and have lunch, as I
was sitting there having lunch I see a young lady at the microwave oven
banks put there for Staff and visitors to warm up lunches brought from
home, She was trying to set up 2 microwave ovens to heat 2 different
dishes while at the same time trying to hold and talk on her cellphone
with her none existent 3rd hand and ended up spilling one dish as she
tried holding the phone between her shoulder and ear.

3. As if that wasn't enough, on the way home I stopped at Safeway to
pick up a few grocery's, And going down one Aisle found it rather
blocked by 32 ladies standing in the middle with not enough room for me
to pass, I said excuse me could I pass through here twice before they
moved, they where oblivious of their surroundings, I carried on with my
shopping and a couple aisles further another lady walked full tilt into
me texting on her phone as I was standing still looking for an item.

And you wonder why I don't own or use a cursed cellphone and be lumped
in with all these Idiots?

just because a few people are oblivious to their surroundings doesn't
mean everyone is.


Didn't say "all"

8 in one day is a helluva lot more than a few

out of 2 billion who use smartphones, no, and you can't extrapolate
from just one day either. how many days did nothing happen? how many
people were using phones and you didn't even notice?
