Cranky McSnarky rides again

Some days, I really wish cell phones had never been invented. You know, like, days when some dude calls in to his meeting from the quiet car of the ACE train and proceeds to SHOUT HIS COMPANY'S BIZ-NIZ FOR ALL TO HEAR!!!!!!

...and then, of course, there were the klaxon-voiced folks on BART, shrieking inanities at the top of their impressive lungs. 45 straight minutes of 'where YOU at?!' and 'ohmygah I know, right? So I was all, dude, no you did NOT, and he was all, like, I dunno, you know?!'

...it's enough to make me give up on the future of our species...why is it that the folks most eager to share their conversations with Us All always seem to be the ones with an IQ of about room temperature? And, there is somebody on the other end, remember - eagerly hanging on every word!

(And yes...SOMEBODY around here is grumpier than usual.)

The blanket is moving along, though....so, it ain't ALL bad...

I think room temperature might be giving them too much credit... :-)

Earplugs are your friend. However, when I ride public transportation I can still hear the idiots over the earplugs! Plus,for safety reasons, I need to beaware of what is going on around me. Sigh.

I agree with PBear...more like shoe size.
