iPods save lives

[kedrys]

At least mine did this morning. I was on my way to class and stopped into a Starbucks to get the requisite frap (can't teach without it!), and I took my earbuds off for a moment so I could interact with the barista. The line was pretty long, and I had to wait for quite a while.

So this f*cknozzle with one of these new-fangled, hands-free, over-the-ear micro cell phones gets in line behind me and loudly continues his conversation already in progress, which included details of his diet, the ingredients in the breakfast bar he was about to buy, the assortment of beverage cups available on the shelf next to him, descriptions of the people holding up the line 6 bodies in front of him, etc., at which point I screwed my earbuds back into my ears and was able to calm down sufficiently to not kill the dipshit.

Moral of the story: iPods save lives!! :D

1. Those things are a menace...

Someone should invent some kind of soundproof bubble to go with them, so they can cover their heads and keep their $#&* to themselves.

Kudos on not killing anyone. :D

6. Thanks

It took some effort...here I'm minding my own shite, and this guy interrupts my reverie with speculation on whether his special breakfast bar is "phase 1" or "phase 2" of whatever fad diet he's on. I swear. :D

2. descriptions of the people waiting in line?

Like what? There's a fat guy right in front of me and a black guy in front of him and some academic type with an ipod that he's clearly not using because the earbuds are hanging around his neck?

4. More like "all the idiots who dared to get in line before me"

It was pretty generic, but evidently we all committed grievous offense by showing up before he did.

He himself was really short, bearded, balding, and apparently had a very small penis. :P

5. Did he mention his penis to the person he was talking to?

Don't you just love people who think whatever they are doing or wherever they are trying to get to is just SO much more important than what everyone else is doing?

[kedrys]

8. I was kind of surprised that he didn't

He pretty much covered everything else...I was tempted to turn around and say "Tell him/her we said HI!!!!" :D

3. Should've used your iPod to knock him senseless; could keep earbuds in. nt

:P

7. Couldn't - it's my brand-new iPod mini :D

The s.o. won it at some company meeting raffle a week ago, and donated it to replace my ailing first-gen iPod.

I could have stuffed a Starbucks cup down his throat, I s'pose... :P
