My gripes can come straight to you!

Phones on trains = The Double Bird


Hey! Guess what? Well, apparently, Marcus came home last night around 1:30 AM sauced up on some Wild Turkey and woke up Charlene. If that wasn't bad enough, after Marcus was unable to convince Charlene that she needed to get out of bed and help him feed his bender more, he went into the kitchen and caused an even larger calamity by flipping over the garbage can and knocking a bunch of bottles and glasses off the counter-tops! Naturally, Charlene was up until all hours of the night because of the insensitive interruption and is seriously thinking of finding a new place of her own cuz she's sick of "sh*t" like this...

I know what you're thinking: "Boy, that Marcus sure seems like an inconsiderate a**hole!" Well, let me tell you amigos, he's not half the inconsiderate a**hole Charlene is. At least that's what I was thinking when, while making my way to work this morning, I was forced by proximity and circumstance to listen to Charlene tell, presumably, someone who cares (along with everyone else on the train) about Marcus and his hijinks.

For all you idiots out there like Charlene, here are some scenarios under which using your cell phone on a commuter train is permissible:

a) Spotting an escaped-from-prison O.J. Simpson
b) Spotting Osama bin Laden, especially if he's just chillaxin' eating a corn dog or something
c) Spotting an unidentified fireball in the sky that's about to wipe out civilization
d) Spotting me, coming at you, with a sock full of wet cement to end your annoying-as-sh*t conversation

To all of you who insist on making life miserable for the rest of us: if you're on a train, keep your phone where the sun don't shine, that way we won't have to put it there for you.

  1. I especially enjoy the people who sit and talk on their phones as loud as they can... IN ANOTHER LANGUAGE!

    Then there are the ones who look at you like you're the rude one for listening in on their conversation. That just gets all over me.

  4. Cell phones in public just annoy me in general..while I am eating in a restaurant pisses me off like you wouldn't believe. Take your conversation outside and more in private. I think general courtesy has gone out the window.

    Before cell phones, you would have never thought to answer the phone while in a conversation with some one...
