In an otherwise quiet office setting, cell phones add an element of weird which Im sure was never present before their invention. What with all of the crazy ringtones and various honks and bells and whistles that make up countless types of notifications, it seems that at any time, a strange noise is adding a bit of weird to a situation somewhere. Yesterday afternoon all was normal, until someones creepy ass ringtone interrupted everyones concentration (and its always the person who leaves their phone somewhere then wanders off out of hearing distance that has the creepiest ring tone, so it just rings and rings and rings). Suddenly we went from normal day at the office to charecters in a horror movie about to be chopped to bits cued by the creepy orchestral music. None of us could resist looking over our shoulder.
Not to mention the countless people who look completely normal though they appear to be talking to themselves in public. Yes, Im refering to the retarded Blue Tooth ear pieces that not only look retarded themselves, but they make their wearer look retarded when in use. You're in an elevator or standing next to someone waiting to cross a street, suddenly they start talking and you respond because in all of history that has been the NORMAL thing to do, and instantly you both look like assholes because you realize that he isnt talking to you and he has a stupid Blue Tooth thing in his ear. Thanks fuck face, Im not the one wearing the stupid blinky thing on my head, yet I get to look just as dumb.
(Off topic: my favorite thing to call people in the midst of a road rage rant is "fuck face". Nothing is more statisfying to me. This came to me organically (nice, huh?) one day and has stuck ever since. Try it. I reccommend "Nice blinker, fuck face!" or "Go, fuck face!")
I am angry inside, no?
