But the guy in the booth next to me here at Threadgill’s is having a conversation with his gf or whatever over FaceTime. Her voice is loud and tinny through the phone, and he’s talking louder than anybody else in the restaurant. Dafuq?

Interestingly, he is eating a plate of collard greens and working on his second beer. The veggies are famous here.

DISCUSSION (20)

Yeah, you’re way behind. Rude is the new cool thing, respecting others is hella lame

Turn the noise on your phone and start typing like mad, max volume.

When we were flying back from Colorado, there was a guy that talked the entire time we were sitting at the gate to depart. Loud. All the way through the 20 minute delay too. He would literally say he had to go but then would start up an entire other discussion topic. I’ve never been so annoyed in a situation like that. It’s definitely rude.

Better thing - something my younger brother has actually done: hook up Model M keyboard to phone(!!!)

(jump ahead to like 4 minutes in)

Remember Nextel? Those cellphones with the PTT walkie-talkie-like feature? People would hold entire conversations through PTT FOR HOURS.

I’ve seen people use FaceTime while walking down the street and holding their phones up to their ear because it was too loud outside and they couldn’t hear their phones.

I’ve heard ringtones loud enough to startle passengers on opposite ends of a subway car. And then seen the person with the obnoxiously loud phone answer and set the phone on speakerphone.

What I’m trying to say is, there are stupid people out there, and there ain’t a single fucking shit we can do about it.

I think people who face time in public are mental degenerates.

I tend to agree.

Off topic, do you know where I can find that picture that shows the stenciling on the side of a B-17 outlining crew size restrictions? I seem to remember you sharing that.

But somehow, FaceTime adds an entirely new level of narcissism. I never FT my wife because I know what she looks like.

I have it at home on my computer. I’m on my phone now, but I’ll see if I can search it.

Here you go. I can send you a bigger one when I get home.
