muck_a_luckMy newest pet peeve.
People who use their cell phones in enclosed spaces with other people.
Like the elevator.
The kind of quiet one maintains around a person on the phone is different. You are conciously silent, so as not to interfere with the call. And you know you should not be eavesdropping on the call. So you feel all weird for listening and put upon for being forced to listen.
Yeah, yeah. I realize I owe that person nothing, and what I should do is start singing old Jim Croche songs at the top of my lungs, hoping other elevator riders will join in.
But anyway, it's still annoying.
People have the worst manners under the best of circumstances.
Cell phones put way too much strain on public interaction. Stupid cell phones.
