Don't you just hate it when...

This is way off topic and is more about rudeness than weight loss issues.  But, yesterday two things occurred at the clinic, which really pissed me off.  First, let me just say that I hate those men and women who walk around with their blue tooth in their ear.  It seems that it is mostly men who do this.  I’ll be frank, no one is that damned important that they need their ear armed and ready for that one important phone call.  Come on.  It looks ridiculous and reeks of being a little self indulgent.  Having said that, I also hate women and men who think that it is cool to have these long conversations in public on their cells.  I don’t care what you are cooking for dinner or how bad your child misbehaved or if you are wearing your pink pumps, although, they were a little too small for that big foot, but, least I digress, the point is that if you get a call, take it to the hallway.  I don’t even hear the receptionist’s phone calls.  She talks quietly and you, you, my friend, are screaming out all sorts of private information.  Next, if you are going to smoke and bring your rankness into the room, please, for the love of trees, please don’t wear cheap perfume.  It just makes the smoke smell more like **** or something and the cheap perfume that you, by the way, just sprayed to knock the cigarette smell, now smells like sweat and ****   I tell you this because I and all the other non smokers do not like our immediate air poisoned by your pollution and it follows you into the room and hangs over your head and in my nose and I just want to scream, please, please, go sit over there, by the woman who is having the loud conversation.  Sigh. So, I put my iPod in plugs in my ear and listen to a little Three Dog Night to block out blabber mouth and use a little of my expensive hand lotion spread thinly over my mouth and chin to block out the noxious odor of nasty smoker who wears cheap perfume and began reading a really nice chapter on why children cannot read and in comes this man whose fly is unzipped.  WTF.

Jeannie....once again you have me rolling on the floor laughing!!!!!!! 

What you said is so true....all of it!!!! You have such a way with words.

Hugs and love.....connie d

I think the next time that I see this rudeness or am exposed to the noxious aroma of dirty smoke, I'm going to say, "excuse me, but you are dirtying up my space with your loud talk or your bad smell."  I think it may work.

Makes me feel like I'm right there with you.  Unfortunately, we all have been, I think. The worst conversation I heard was in a restaurant, and the guy in the booth behind me was telling someone on the phone (I'm hoping not his wife, although I don't know why...), "But the doc says that just three shots will clear it all up"!

Thanks for the giggle.

One night, when hubby and I were celebrating at our favorite eatery, we were "privilidged" to this woman's one way conversation and I swear to you, she was getting so dirty.  At one point she started telling the other person what she was wearing and I quickly turned around to see and she was not wearing those clothes.  I mean, she said she was wearing a black bra and thong.  Well, if she was, it was under her oversized sweat shirt and big assed jeans.  I'm just saying.

Thank you

Well said I feel the same way What about people who go to lunch with you and talk on the phone the whole time ? I walked out on someone who did that to me Iwas Pissed

Boo

Yes.  I hate rude behavior on lunch dates.  In fact, hubby and I turn our phones off when we are out.  I just think all of this contact tends to reinforce self inflated egoes.  Look at me, I cannot even spend a minute in real time with a real friend without getting a phone call that I have to take.  Way to go.

So true on so many levels.

Try cutting hair while someone has a cell phone stuck to the side of their head!  I just stop working and stand there, looking perturbed until they get the hint. A couple of times I've had to tell people that they're making it too hard to do my work....which do they want... a good haircut or to find out what their girlfriend's mother in law said to them last night???

Sometimes I think technology will be the ruination of our civilization. At least the civility of our civilization.

And the other side of the coin to that is my hairdresser who talks nonstop on her bluetooth while cutting my hair and when she finally speaks to me, I don't know it because she has been talking on her bluetooth. 

 

I hardly ever take calls when I'm with a client, thanks to that little feature called voice mail. My clients pay good money for my time...they deserve my attention.

We have a stylist who will occasionally use her bluetooth and we never know who she is talking to since her hair covers it. We tease her about talking to herself (she's the oldest of all of us).
