I’m hanging out on Lower Sproul Plaza trying to get some coffee in me. And this guy nearby is pacing back and forth while talking LOUDLY on his cellphone. Finally, this woman who is sitting directly in front of him, trying to eat her lunch, says.

“You’re talking VERY loudly. It’s very distracting. Would you PLEASE stop doing that!”

“Oh oh. I’m sorry,” he says.

So he moves. Walks directly over to where I’M sitting trying to drink my coffee, and continues pacing back and forth while prattling loudly into his cellphone.

Kids. There’s a reason why back in the good old days we had these things called telephone BOOTHS.
