Have you ever wanted to...?

[Muss Muggins]

Why . . . . ?

As my wife and I were leaving the grocery store this morning we walked past a store employee leaning against the wall by the exit staring down at his phone completely oblivious to his surroundings and what was going on around him. My adolescent brain immediately started working and I asked my wife, "Have you ever wanted to walk up behind someone like that and yell BOO! at the top of your lungs?" She said, "You're really sick, you know." Anyone else ever thought of doing that?

Like the "phone people" ..... I may not know where my phone is, but always have my wallet, keys, and a .38.

Why not? Lost your sense of humor?

I was behind a young lady at a traffic light, she was oblivious to her surroundings as she sat through two light cycles while using her phone. I finally got out of my truck, knocked on her window, telling her it's OK go when the ight turns green. I was told in no uncertain terms, was she was not going to drive while she was on her phone. I had to pull around her to make my right turn.

When I worked for a living I drove a full sized van. You can see down into the cars in front of you at red lights. Very often, the driver in front is messing with their phone. For self-entertainment it’s kinda fun to hit the horn and watch them get startled and begin to take off and almost hit the car in front of them. I’ve never had any of them hit the car in front of them, but, in hindsight, I guess I’m kinda glad no accidents happened.

I've noticed a big change in the phone users in stores over the past couple of years. Nowadays, the Boomers have a shopping list, the X's are talking to a friend or relative about something else, Millennials are checking with their significant others overseeing the shopping, and the Z's are staring at the prices and unsure what they are doing.

Not at all, but it sounds like a good way to get throat punched. Which, now that I think about it, would be pretty funny to watch . . .

Throat punched? *LOL* That poor kid would have fainted dead away. But if he had the results would not have been funny. There's always one on every forum...

In the words of Mike Tyson, everyone has a plan until they get punched in the face . . .

I’m looking at this thread on my phone

 

[fiasconva]

And how did that work out of Tyson?

Well, he was the heavyweight champion of the world for quite some time . . .

I’m in the wicket of having a pay phone installed in my back yard. Just about the right amount of the telephone.

The local gendarmarie recently acquired car phones.
