From Anger to Laughter

One thing about this blog is that it allows me to vent off useless anger that sucks up my energy. There was an instance today at my health club that even a few days ago would have had me steaming mad. Instead, I was on the verge of laughter.

There is a strict 'no cell phone' policy at my health club (thank goddesses). Just a few short days ago I vented about how annoying I thought cell phones were and how I pretty much want to cram them into dark crevices of the human body when they constantly ring.

When I arrived at the health club today and entered the locker room, there was a woman yakking away on her cell phone as loudly as she could possibly speak despite the large, ominous "NO CELL PHONES" sign posted right in front of her face. Another woman who I recognized as a regular at the club caught my obviously annoyed vibe directed at the cell phone user. We made eye contact and had an instant understanding that some people just don't GET IT and the suppression of laughter from both of us was difficult. The cell phone user was completely oblivious and was blathering loudly on and on about NOTHING.

Cell Phones and Cigarettes

Are you sick of cell phones? Don't you hate it when you're at the movies, dining out, at the grocery store, etc., and somebody's f***** cell phone starts ringing? Not only are you disturbed by a ring tone that features the latest crap recording of a group that will have a popularity life-span of a tsi-tsi fly, but the recipient of the phone call automatically raises his/her voice volume by 10 decibels loudly broadcasting the one-way conversation to everybody within a 10 mile radius.

Everybody on the face of the planet has a cell phone constantly stuck in his/her ear blathering on and on about nothing. No, I don't want to hear your lame conversations anymore. I don't want to hear any of your conversations. You are noise pollution. Shut up. PLEASE! Not only are you noise pollution, you're a hazard on the road as well. Hang up and drive.

Cell phone users should follow the same manners that is expected from smokers these days. Go OUTSIDE at least 10 feet from the door to minimize your noise pollution on others. It's only common courtesy. In fact, I think I'll take up smoking again and whenever some self-important jackass starts yakking on the cell phone, I'm going to light up and blow smoke in his/her face. Then I'll take his/her cell phone and shove it where nobody will ever hear their annoying ring tone ever again;)
