I kind of want to cry right now because I was almost done with this post when Firefox decided to disappear and WordPress only saved the title of the post! AAAAAHHH! Well, let’s hope I can communicate this as clear the second time around. I was on such a roll as well. DANGIT! Moving on…

Last night my friend Alicia and I were perusing Borders. We were on the hunt to purchase those poetry word magnets for refrigerators. On a side note, we didn’t find any, so if you know where we can get some please let me know, thanks.

While we were on our search there was a young woman near us on her phone. She was engrossed in a very serious conversation. From what we could identify, she was talking with her boyfriend and was asking if him and his family were going to come to Thanksgiving at her place. What we were able to decipher was that he said he was going to come, but his parents declined the invitation.

This response set the woman off on an emotional and angry tirade. She began to say that she didn’t even want him to come anymore and that this was more proof his parents didn’t like her and never will.

Let me be upfront and say we were not trying eavesdrop on this conversation. She was very emotional, so she had no concept of how truly loud she was. Anyone who was on the lower level of Borders could probably hear her. Well…that may be a bit of an exaggeration, but at least everyone in the card and calendar section 🙂

I do believe this conversation is important. But what made it inappropriate was having it in the middle of a bookstore. This kind of conversation should be done in person, but if that cannot happen than it should at least be in a private place.

Coming away from this experience I know personally I don’t ever fall into this trap. I am a fairly private person when it comes to my emotions, so I don’t see myself ever being in a position where I may do this. But I felt like I needed to present a public service announcement for others who may get caught up in this:

PLEASE DO NOT HAVE SERIOUS PHONE CONVERSATIONS IN PUBLIC PLACES. No one want to hear them and you shouldn’t want anyone to hear them either.

Until next time…PEACE OUT!
