Well at least now I know that when I go to school next week I shouldn't feel too bad if I'm the only person there with no growth. I was concerned about that because I hate being different than everyone else.

We have a guy working at our help desk who is 6'6 has a grizzly adams beard and wears two headsets. One for his desk phone and the other for his blue tooth. Both make him look like he has two growths out of the side of his head, you have to do a double take. I personally never liked headsets, and if I am working on something and cannot hold the phone at the same time, I just use my speaker.

That's Bah-stahn accent...You want New Yawk accent...so it should read like this:

"a Porta Rikan Dahk-ta dat drahve a Traans Aahm wit a boid on da hood" A Goh-ld one

I never know if someone's talking to ME or not when they have one of those headsets on. It makes me [want to] punch them.

Hmmm...he always told us he was 'fwom Bwooklyn, New Yowk'. And that he was Pooto Weekan. And he was vewy pwoud of his gode Twans Am wit da bood on da hood. Maybe he was the Elmew Fudd of Bwooklyn Pooto Weekans.

He was the only person I ever knew that arrived for 2nd or 3rd shift in a suit and tie, reeking of nasty cologne. Of course, that was for his before or after work visits to the bar on his nurse quest. I'm not sure he ever bathed, he just always seemed to apply more cologne. He also liked to bring photos of 'his fwends' and put them on his desk. His fwends were always women in bikinis. You could tell that he took the pics, but you always suspected that the women didnt know they were being "photogwaffed"

Jook=Jerk on Pooto Weekan

And I suspect that 50% of the folks walking around with them glued to the side of their face/head aren't really talking to anyone anyway. Wouldn't it be a hoot to be able to verify their account status and see how many were actually live?
While waiting in an airport lounge reading I recently saw a gal who had one of the Radio Shack 'bag 'phones' (remember them?) in her coat pocket, holding the receiver with coiled cord to her ear for almost an hour. I never saw or heard her say a word, and after I left I started thinking.....those things never had a full hour of transmit battery life on a good day!

I was at the Denver airport last year waiting for my plane sitting across from a very self important woman. She was on her cell for nearly an hour telling (?) another person that evening she was going through Chicago to a meeting in Toronto, come back the next day on her way to Seattle for another meeting. Be there one day and go to New York for another meeting, only a half day there then on to Dallas for (you guessed it, a meeting).

She would be home for the weekend packing for a trip to London (meeting), Paris (meeting), back to Miami (meeting). All of this to be done during the next week.

Right.

When someone's talking on their cell phone in public, I think it's best to stand really close to them and transcribe notes of their conversation. That way, they'll have a record of what they said for future reference. Oh, and it's best to do this with a menacing grin.

It also helps to laugh when they laugh, gasp when they gasp, and interject when you don't agree with their point of view.

there is this one guy in my town (who I call the village idiot) he like going to the local drug store and talking on his cell phone so loud that the entire store can hear everything that he saying.
