Either Talk Quietly or have something more Interesting to Say

My ipod keeps me sane, because if I had to listen to people's conversations, I would kill people.

But there are sometimes that I'm unable to listen to my ipod, like right before a plane takes off, and you have to turn off all electronic devices. Which I don't really understand, because if a plane is going to malfunction because I have my ipod on, then do I really want to be on that plane?

I'm sitting on the runway, with my ipod off, waiting, and the guy behind me was blah blah blahing - loudly.

Now, he, for some reason, kept his GPS navigation unit going. And he was giving the woman next to him, a blow by blow account of all of the roads in the neighborhood.

Which is like listing to someone read the phone book to you.

And she, for whatever reason, was fascinated.

I turned around and gave him a dirty look. He continued undaunted.

The plane landed and I left my cell phone on the flight.

The next morning, I'm in the hotel, I have to call the police and get a lost claim report for the insurance company.

I told my friend, that you know it's going to be a great day when the first call you make is to the police station.

He corrected me: You know it's going to be a great day when the first call you make is FROM the police station.

Anyway, the guy behind me, the talker, picked up my phone and called my cell phone carrier.

I had to see him the next day and get my phone from him.

Fuck me.
