normally i am home and waaay far away from cell-phone use-age as i live on a mountain. as it is, though i traveled to white plains friday and had an opportunity to hear LOTS of cell phone junk.. i'll glean from that

the most dramatic thing i remember is a woman entreating her teenage daughter to walk and feed the dog. and the kid was not budging from the house from what i heard.

On the train I heard a girl talking down to a coworker. Then she gave her website and password for a work shcedule or something. i logged in later hoping to fuck up her week but figured the poor guy would get blamed. oooh the power!!

I was in a bathroom stall, and the guy in the stall next to me on his cell phone was surprised to hear that "you can get $50 to 'donate' to a sperm bank?...AND they give you magazines!?"
Mon. 2/9/09 9:46am
From:
annie
the downside(?) to the dog-walk conversation was that in the long run the woman acquiesced and offered to walk the dog before she took the girl to the mall for shopping!!!! wow,,, wrapped tight around that little finger

I ride a bike to work so don't hear too many conversations BUT, some chick was gabbing on an iPhone the other day while taking a left turn into the wrong line and almost into me....AND it was one of my best friends!! This is a woman who is obsessed with the safety of her kids but talking on a cell while attempting to drive is a-okay!

there was a girl next to me on the last train out of Hoboken on friday who thought it would be an awesome idea to A. play really loud bad music out of her tinny cell phone speakers and B. not SHUT THE HELL UP about being a busted stripper. Not even her faux-hawked companion gave half-a-damn.

There was this young woman going on and on about how she was so over this guy but she was into him and first but wasn't sure he was into her. Then then he ends up waiting in front of her house all night in his car hoping to get a glimpse of her. Then she was over him. I guess he didn't play hard to get. Also he wanted her to call him by his street name: "sha-sha". I mean, that's a street name a New Zealander would come up with.
It was hard not to laugh.

the new zealand part was actually my opinion, but it's still true.

that sounds like a name for a busted hooker
Mon. 2/9/09 10:27am

I know. I mean, his real name was Tremaine, which is way more street than that. I mean, didn't Johnny Tremaine lose a hand or something doing something metal?
Mon. 2/9/09 10:33am

they should've called him "Johnny Deformed"

My best one was a couple of years ago in the summer, I'm driving, my kid is in his car seat in the back, we're stopped at a red light. A guy in a convertible pulls up next to us, cussing his brains out while yelling into his cell phone. Every other word began with F, I looked at my kid, he looked at me, we just started laughing so loud, because what else can you do as a parent when you hear such awful language in front of a young kid. Well, the guy was so annoyed that we were laughing at him, he drove through the red light!

I need to hear Lou Rawl's "You'll Never Find Another love Like Mine".
I've determined that you can sing anything in a deep voice and it will sound cool, not weeny.
I mean, look at the lyrics, they sound like someone erupting in a pissy way after they've been dumped. But sung, you can just see the lady turning on her platform heels and walking back into the posh apartment with the flokati rug and the egg chair and the quad sound system and making up with Lou.

Morning all...no funny cell phone stories, just the observation of an escalating scale of rudeness especially watching everyone doing the "Blackberry Prayer" while supposed to be engaged socially with another.....a friend of mine once told me about a drunk harfing up a lung and only paused to wipe off his chin before getting back on the cell to tell the other party about the "awesome" band he had just seen!

Ben, I was gonna ask if you made ComicCon. My kid was down from college with a whole posse of fankids. Least intrustive houseguests I've ever had; up and out the door as I was getting out of bed and didn't come back until afer I've gone to bed - and quietly at that.

Not mean, yeah more crush-like. I mean, I'll say something, then she'll give me a sarcastic reply, then I'll try to match her sarcasm and fail....that kind of thing. I guess I do have a crush on her...her and Poison Ivy, humina humina humina...

I went to a Cramps show years ago, and ran into a college classmate whose only comment about the show was "I want that women [Poison Ivy] to take me into an alley and HURT me."
She was wearing what looked like a romper made out of plastic garbage bags, and looked amazing to boot.
