Sobbing drama

[Sept]

Dropped some film off for a 1 hour development. While I was dropping them off there was this young girl (around 13-14 years old) on a cell phone next to the photo booth area. She was talking to a friend of hers, very upset going on about "You broke our friendship, you should of said you wanted to date him". I tried to ignore her while I was handing the film off to the worker, but the girl kept getting louder and louder.

I came back in an hour to pick up my photos, the girl was still there, still talking on the phone. This time her face was soaked with tears, going over old, tried tears and she was struggling to talk. Talk loudly she did though!

Things about how her friend broke the golden rule and she hopes she is happy with her ex boyfriend and how hard and stressful her life is and her friend is adding to it, bla bla bla.

The girl finally stormed off and both the photo booth worker and myself just bust out laughing.

If you have problems, don't announce them to the world next to a cash register.

Oh, to be 14 again, and think that the entire world revolves around you. God, I am thankful that I grew up!

Are you kidding me I can't help but eavesdrop on cell phone conversations like that.

I can't get enough. Days and Passions don't cut it for me.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Evesdrop, hell. That's free public theatre. I partake openly in that sort of thing. I might even comment. Obviously, it's not private.

[MystyGlyttyr]

She was there for an HOUR??

Ungodly phone bill much?

What would she care? I'd lay my last bill down that says that she doesn't pay for her phone.

[Becks]

I LOVE audience participation phone calls!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[blas]

You're damn right Spiffy. Mommy and Daddy probably pay for it. That and for her 100000000 text messages a month.

Don't worry, within 10 years I will be frying little brats like her on the witness stand when I'm a prosecuting attorney or even *gasp* DA several years down the road. I can't wait.

"But I didn't KNOOOOOW I was stealing a car!"

[GayleShy]

And some girls never grow out of the "you stole my boyfriend" stage. I saw two women in men's wear screaming at each other as if they were on the Springer show about it once. I just about called security, they were that loud. I thought it would come down to bitch slapping/hair pulling in a minute.

The kicker, they were both at least 25 years old and had their kids with them. They came in the store together and one was threatening to leave the other behind.

Meh. If the bastard cheated on me, the other woman is welcome to 'im. I'll just give her my number and tell her to call me when he does the same thing to her a few months later and we can do drinks.

[RecoveringKinkoid]

Really.

I told my husband if he ever cheats on me, he better make damn sure the broad is an excellent lay. Because she's going to be the one with a free pass to him.

Its more fun when they think you can't hear or don't understand. Which happens a lot in ye old multi-cultural Vancouver. I Gaijin Smashed(tm) a poor Japanese girl next to me on the Skytrain last summer. She was speaking fairly loudly, but in Japanese, which isn't that common around here so she thought she was safe.

Problem is she was complaining about the size of her boyfriend's, er, equipment. Soon as she said it I just turned and looked at her like O.o. She went beat red and got really quiet on the phone after that.

Oh God, is it ever.
A girl at school said that she was out at a Mexican restaurant with her mom, who speaks Spanish. The staff began to talk (in Spanish) about the girl (she didn't say what they said specifically), and her mom scared the hell out of them when she said 'What did you say about my daughter?"

That would be my thinking as well.

Once a Tomcat, always a Tomcat I always say.

If I ever got married and my husband cheated on me, he better get ready to live in a cardboard box in the middle of the highway.

That or be missing a certain body part.
