Those ****ing walkie talkie phones!

"So what do you wanna do tonite?" BEEP BOOP

"Um. I dunno. Like what do you wanna do?" BEEP BOOP

"We could go to the movies?" BEEP BOOP

"Ok. Like what do you wanna see?" BEEP BOOP

"I dunno. What do you wanna see?" BEEP BOOP

It takes ALL of my energy not to smack the damn thing out of their hand and stomp on it.

Ugh, I totally agree, jerby. In addition, whoever came up with that obnoxious chirpy noise should be shot and killed. Nextel is the devil.

That's exactly what I was going to say, jerby. I hate everyone who owns one of those little bastards and uses it on the El. I don't care who uses it, if that person gives 50% of their salary to help orphans with diseases, that person is an a**hole.

Apropos of that, why is it that I have only seen African-Americans using them? Well, actually, to be more specific, young black males and some young black females... Hmmmm... It's a conspiracy against whitey perhaps. Good lord, everyone on this board is going to think I'm a racist pretty soon.

Yes, it would kill them. Or I will kill them. Whatever. Either way, as long as someone's dead, who cares how s/he got that way?






God, I'm tired.

I cannot understand how some of you wish there were no cell phones. . . How else are you supposed to find your friends when they are all out of the house? What a bunch of geezers you all must be! :P

Cigarettes (and gum is good, too, but the title does say ONE)

OK, thank god, I was actually about to go delete my comment. You never know who's going to take something the wrong way when a comment is fairly innocent.

I always see those commercials where everyone's screeching, "WHERE YOU AT?" (Oh, the grammar! The humanity!) It's always African-Americans in those. Now I'm honestly curious as to the reasoning that those effing things are marketed toward them.

Whoever invented the telephone menu answering services should be shot. "If you speak english- press 1. If you want to reach a customer service rep- please press 2...." you get the picture! I hate them even more on cell phones when they give you about 10 options just to send one message- "If you want to page this person- press 5, if you want to mark this message private, press 8:............ ugh!

I actually believe that cell phones are a great and very helpful invention, especially for out of the house emergencies. If people overdo it, it's not the invention's fault !

Heelies (as in the kids' shoes with wheels built into the heel). Sure, they LOOK dangerous, but for all the annoyances they cause, they rarely even steer the children wearing them into oncoming traffic. You'd think they could at least do us that much of a favor.

I'm going to have to second 'Heelies'. If kids were supposed to have wheels on their feet, they would have come out that way. Walk like everyone else, damn it!

I was walking behind a woman (white, lol) one night who had her cell phone turned to the speaker mode, so that everyone within earshot had to hear both sides of the conversation.

I actually walked up to her and asked why everyone on the street had to hear her conversation. She nastily said that was the only way she could hear the other person.

Right.
