Character Obeservation For The Day

[sleigh]

I walked into the restroom at the university this afternoon. A student was standing at the urinal doing his business while at the same talking to his girlfriend on his cell phone. "Where are you right now? Well, I'm in class right now," he said, flushing the urinal and zipping up one-handed. "I'll head over there."

He closed the cell phone and walked out of the restroom.

Ha ha! I love being a college student. We do so many silly things...

At least he didn't tell her where he really was.

If being completely baffled by people who must be on the phone no matter where they are or what they're doing makes me an old fogey, I want a button that says OLD FOGEY AND PROUD OF IT.

That's just wrong on so many levels.
Some times and places should always be private and phone free, and concluded once the hands are washed - with soap.
Ick.

I was once at the gate in an airport, waiting to board long-distance, and this young man was on his cellphone next to me saying "Yeah, babe, I'm at the airport now. Can't you hear the announcements? Come to Arrivals, you'll find me..."

Um, not so much...

Argh. In my former-university-lecturer mode, I feel the need to give him a very hard stare.
