Dear Anonymous Lady at the Dermatology office,
I have a hard enough time relaxing while waiting for another human to remove part of my body (a mole, but still...) without having to listen to you, repeatedly and loudly, describe how your wound was blistering and weeping under your bandage to whoever was unfortunate enough to be on the other end of your cell phone. GROSS! The MAN also seems to have this problem. He doesn't realize how loudly he talks when he's on his cell phone. Sometimes I let my phone go dead on purpose. I also love caller ID. You know how sometimes you wonder why I don't answer my phone when you call? It's because I don't feel like talking to you. Nothing (too) personal, I'm just kind of an introvert and I'm also pretty busy most of the time. I'll call you back soon, I promise. Another thing about that dermatologist's office - easy listening music is ALWAYS better than whatever local station plays modern country! It's really hard to focus on anything besides scalpels in your skin when your listening to crappy music. I'm sure not everyone even notices the music playing in dr's offices, restaurants, stores, etc., but I do. I always notice what songs are playing. And bad country sucks. So anyway, the MAN and I have differing opinions on cell phone etiquette. I don't ever answer my phone when I'm with a real person, unless it's the babysitter and the MAN and I are out on a date. What I'm saying is, it has to be pretty durn important for me to interrupt the real live person I'm spending time with, to answer the phone. The MAN answers every time. EVERY time. Why? Why? I think it's rude. What do you think? How do you feel about annoying cell phone technology?
