Well, had a new experience today.

Needed to renew my driver's license. So I was setting there waiting for my number to be called. Only had one to go by then. Some woman next to me, pulled up "mite's on children" and decided to read it aloud to the man next to her. To say my skin was beginning to crawl, is an understatement, as she read on.  The woman called the numbers, had to do it twice. Thank goodness, I got to get up and tend to my business. Why do people do things like that? Phone calls out loud too?  It's sending me up the wall.

Do they just love to share with everyone all their business? Uggh!!!

People don't always use common sense or have any class when it comes to using mobile devices in public.  Sadly, it isn't likely to change.

I probably would have moved to a different chair.

     Ok.  So no big deal then.  You can't control what other people do, you can only control how you react to them.

What is "mite's on children"?

Giggle....I was thinking the same thing.

Was I missing out on a new TV show or a new podcast??

I believe she was referring to, say, WebMD, mites on children.

And was reading the condition/symptoms out loud.

Of course they want to spend every minute of their waking hours sharing, even in real life for those, in a public place that have no interest in their lives. Their brain cells are so scrambled they get confused between: texting/facbook/twitter, and talking out loud around people that just happen to be in THEIR bubble. You see, it is their bubble, not yours, not mine, only theirs.

 

If you took the liberty to invade their bubble, it's your fault, not theirs. Ya know, kinda like the drivers that own the roads, and you dare to drive on them? For shame on you.

 

These knuckleheads couldn't care less about what you or I, or anyone else thinks of their stupidity and lack of common sense of not caring what they broadcast to whom, nor where. Remember, it is you that are in their space!
