Cell phones

Yes I have one. Most people do now. It's very rare to find someone that doesn't. Anyone that doesn't should be put in the zoo - they're a dying breed.

I seem to find that I am more and more bothered by them. Especially as I continue to work at the book store. There is something that bothers me about them. People will come in and ask for help and contintue to talk on their phone, call someone while we're in the middle of a conversation with me, answer their phone in the middle of a conversation. They are all seemingly oblivious to the fact that they are being rude.

Last night, after I had already dealt with a handful of these people, I decided that I couldn't do it anymore. So the next person that came up and was still talking on their phone, I politely told I didn't want to interrupt and would help them when they were done. I think they kind of got the idea by the look on their face.

I wish people would do that more.
