One thing I like to do is count the number of people talking on cellphones
when I'm at the market. My record is 15. What REALLY ****es me off are the
ones talking away while trying to write a check. I won't even ask the
question about writing a check in this day and age. ;-)

Ah - cellphones.

I don't count cell phones anymore, but I will occasionally watch cell
phone users doing something while yakkin'.

For instance, the other day at the Post Office young mother with a two
toddlers and a baby in a carrying case pulled into the lot. She's
yakkin' on the cell phone in the car, out of the car, trying to
wrangle her twins, get the baby out of the car, get her purse, get
everything into the PO, work the window with her package, rummage in
her purse for money, get her mail out of the box, wrangle the kids
back out, get them into the car seats and get back into the car never
once missing a beat while she was talking on the cell phone.

It's simply amazing. :)
