Yes, that’s right. I said “I hate people with Nextel phones.” And why do I hate these people? Because they use that damned walkie-talkie feature of their phones without regard for those who might be around them. I’m sick and tired of sitting in a restaurant and two tables over some ass-clown is sitting there on his walkie-talkie, carrying on like he’s the only person in the place. The conversations generally go something like this: (imagine, please, that “DeedleUp!” is the annoying Tricorder sound those awful phones make in walkie-talkie mode)
| Gus: | [DeedleUp!] Hey Gus! Ju git dat load a’ lumber over t’ th’ jobsite? |
| Zeke: | [DeedleUp!] Naw, may-an. I ain’t had no time t’ git it ovuh they-re. |
| Gus: | [DeedleUp!] May-an, yew bettah git own ovuh they-re an’ drop it awff! |
And the inane conversation continues… |
Come on, people! If you must use the walkie-talkie feature, take it outside the restaurant!!! No one else in the place gives a flying damn if you got your lumber delivered, or picked up the kids or got the dry cleaning. We don’t care, and we don’t want to have to listen to your conversation. Show some courtesy!
