the comments above make me giggle…everyone intently debating waiting room etiquette…

people, people, isn’t it very obvious…she doesn’t care about waiting rooms, and she certainly wasn’t THAT traumatized by a guy telling her that the weather was nice…

reread…

“Guess what? I’m not a monkey! It’s not my job to entertain you some of you rude fucks! Pick up a magazine and amuse yourself. Don’t expect me to drop what I’m doing and sing you a fucking song every time your empty little mind happens to wander.”

think she might be telling this story in order to make a bigger point? One specifically intended for us?

with that said, of course she is right. And I think the moral of the story is, we don’t have any god-given right to a free subscription to violent acres, and if she chooses to donate her time, emotion, talent, energy, etc into writing the best, most interesting blog that she can, then, we shouldn’t take that for granted. We aren’t entitled, and we should be grateful.

so yes, V, thank you. I look forward to every entry and I appreciate how much you invest into your blog. And while no, I have no right to request any continued entertainment from you, I do sincerely hope you continue, because right now you ARE the most interesting, engaging reading that I’ve found on the web anywhere, ever.

…i dunno, i think i agree with orange chrush’s general sentiment that it’s rude to interrupt someone, ipods have become yet another way for people to demonstrate their general lack of personal responsibility and somehow seem to feel the ear buds (like the cell phone) gives them license to be totally self absorbed and oblivious to the world around them…

i would much rather beat down the irritation of the rare times having to talk to someone while preferring to read, then what i deal with on a constant basis with retards who are ignorant of everything around them - because they’re in their own worlds.

i personally think that v’s rant was off the mark.

i don’t consider this situation that rude. and the way she told the story made me think of an old person - grandparent like, and with age comes some frivolousities that wouldn’t be acceptable in people without the years behind them…
it’s someone who is choosing to reach out. i think that’s human connection, and while i can dig that v may’ve not wanted anything to do with it, don’t really see anything wrong with it per se.

I use my XM radio at work to detour people from talking to me. Hell sometimes I sit here for hours with no music even on, just so people won’t talk to me. 26/M/Single like I want to hear about your fucking kids snot fest, sick days, the painting that looks like crap, how they mastered the art of going to the bathroom alone, how the neighbor kids pick on them because they are little weak tards or the every day life experience of their little porkers non-active life sitting in front of the TV and wondering why they have health issues at 5-8.
XM + Earbuds = Priceless

I think everyone can agree that a dead forum is better than a forum filled with obnoxious bullshit. Fuck you for even suggesting it.

That being said,

“From now on, I hereby declare headphones the universal sign for ‘I can’t hear you, so don’t interrupt me unless something is on fire or the receptionist is calling my name, you fucking fucker.’”

Agreed 100%. If you wanted to be talked to, you wouldn’t have music blaring in your ears.

That’s strange, I’ve never heard of your famous “I’m doing this my way” look.

I apologize for my block of text, it was badly planned out.

My friend works at a fast food place and I came to visit her, and of course eat, and this dude was on his cell phone casually staring at the board, but continuing his conversation. My friend says, “whenever you’re ready.” with a smile of course, and the guy is like “yeah, thanks,” like how dare you interrupt my phone call. There is a rush, due to lunch time, and people behind me are mumbling and ranting. One chick even said, “Are you fucking serious?” Finally, I gave my friend my famous, “I’m doing this my way,” look, and stepped in front of the guy. “Yes, hi, I would like a double cheeseburger, a small fry, and a Value Sprite, no ice.” she didn’t ring it in due to the fact she was uncertain if she would, but that’s not important. Guy, who is pissed that I cut him, starts yelling at me, “what the fuck, who the fuck do I think I am,” etc. I told him off. How dare he think he controls the universe making the entire restaurant wait on his fucking call, yada yada,” and he comes back with, it’s his right to have his cell phone, and I practically yelling back that yeah, it is, but the world doesn’t revolve around his ass of a self, or something like that.” needless to say the line was cheering for me, and was displeased when the manager escorted both of us out. My friend brought my food to my car a few minutes later. =) lol
