The Rudeness Of People On Cell Phones
Don,
It happened again, my misfortune to be in the same restaurant as an utterly phone-etiquette ignorant sales rep.
No less than 12 calls in about an hours time.
Didn't I get the dirty look for dropping an audible hint.
Twice.
Every time I run into some schmuck with no common sense in using a cellular phone, I secretly wish this will happen to them:
Bixman
St Albert
SINC SAYS:
You’re not alone Bixman, you’re not alone in that wish.
Frankly My Dear . . .
A man walks out to
the street and catches a taxi just going by.
As he gets into the taxi, the cabbie says, "Perfect timing! You're just Like Frank."
Passenger: 'Who?'
Cabbie: "Frank Feldman. He's a guy who did everything right all the time. Like my coming along when you needed a cab, things happened like that to Frank Feldman every single time."
Passenger: "There are always a few clouds over everybody."
Cabbie: "Not Frank Feldman. He was a terrific athlete. He could have won the Grand-Slam at tennis. He could golf with the pros. He sang like an opera baritone, danced like a Broadway star, and you should have heard him play
the piano! He was an amazing guy."
Passenger: "Sounds like he was something really special."
Cabbie: "There's more! He had a memory like a computer He remembered everybody's birthday. He knew all about wine, which foods to order, and which fork to eat them with. He could fix anything. Not like me. I change a fuse, and the whole street blacks out. But Frank Feldman, he
could do everything right."
Passenger: "Wow, some guy then."
Cabbie: "He always knew the quickest way to go in traffic
and avoid traffic jams. Not like me, I always seem to get stuck in them. But Frank, he never made a mistake, and he really knew how to treat a woman and make her feel good. He would never answer her back even if she was in the wrong, and his clothing was always immaculate, shoes highly polished too. He was the perfect man! He never made a mistake. No one could ever measure up to Frank Feldman."
Passenger: "An amazing fellow. How did you meet him?"
Cabbie: "Well, I never actually met Frank. He died. I'm married to his damn widow."
