maderrWork today (yesterday? merg) was rather too easy. In fact it was utterly dead. The truck didn't even show, it was rather sad except I enjoyed it. I started off in a good mood, then turned just short of violent not ten minutes after getting there. Why?
Because I'm f'ing sick of people not being able to stop talking on their thrice damned cell phones to place an order. It's not hard. You tell the person you're talking to "Wait. I'll call you back." Then you place your order, give me the money, say thank you, and you can go back to chatting. Assuming you know what the fuck you're doing this exchange took all of thirty seconds. As opposed to three minutes because you can't figure out who the fuck you're talking to. Nargh.
Okay, that rant went longer than intended. But the phone thing really does bug me. And I had four of them in the space of those ten minutes. And three minutes of Stupid seems like three hours. Other than that though the night was fine. Tomorrow is probably going to be a pain, but I don't really care seeing as I'll have Wed & Thurs off.
Off to write!

I was in the grocery store the other day (Sainsbury's that hellpit of despair) and some woman was on her cellphone, totally oblivious, and she was looking for chips (potato chips) for someone at home, and she was describing the bag and said, "Well, it's a green bag, and no? No that's not it? Oh, Walker's, okay. Yep, they have a multipack here...oh and a single pack. What flavours? Chive and Cheese, Onion and Herb, what? Chive and Cheese is good? Okay."
LIKE COULD WE NOT HAVE TAKEN CARE OF THOSE DEMANDS BEFORE WE LEFT THE HOUSE??? She then continued shopping with her brain tumor-grower attached to her ear.
I feel your pain. The worst is when they're driving.

Date: 2004-03-09 10:14 pm (UTC)*snerk* one of these days I may actually try that. this one guy today had a cell phone so small I thought it was a toy at first. that'd fit rather nicely up someone's nose.
