This happens to me a couple of times a week I swear confused

Walking along minding my own business, going back to my car, waiting to use an ATM when I hear "Hi, how are you doing?"

I turn around expecting to see someone I know, all I see are strange faces, I am just about to say "Sorry but, do I know you?" Then I realise he/she is talking into a mobile phone with blue tooth doh doh doh

Know what I mean? wave

Hi Newie... wave

I remember only a few years ago, they used to say that only people with mental disabilities talked to themselves. these days, everyone appears to be talking to themselves, and we'd never know the difference, because we dont know for sure that there is another on the end of their cell phone...

strange hey?uh oh

I think a lot of them are just making out that they actually have friends.

Been caught a few times with people starting conversations next to me "Hi, how are you?" 30 nanoseconds later I realise that the drop-dead gorgeous chick next to me is on the phone.

Strolling back to work from lunch last week (eager and keen as usual) and there is this conversation coming up behind me and mate. We move a bit aside to let them by....one guy goes by and keeps on talking. Stay over to let the other/s catch up. No-one.

I know I do this at home when I am on my own (scares the neighbours at times), just hope I don't do it in public.

While we are on the subject - can you please stop walking towards me without even looking up while you are texting or pushing buttons on your phone?? I step aside to let you by so YOU don't walk straight into me, you don't even acknowledge my existence let alone say sorry, excuse me, thanks! frustrated frustrated frustrated

Get off my soapbox now cheering
