Things that shit me #4: people who stop in the flow of pedestrians to answer their mobile phones
I realised as I rushed to catch my train yesterday evening, that not only do I loathe inappropriate and excessive ellipses used at the end of every sentence, I also hate people in general.
OK, let me modify that last statement, lest I should be accused of being a hateful lefty: I hate people who, in rush hour pedestrian traffic, will actually STOP to answer their ringing mobile phones, and may continue to stand still to have a conversation, much to the chagrin of rushing commuters walking behind them.
What? WHAT?! Why are you stopping in the middle of pedestrian traffic flow, just to answer and talk on your friggin’ phone? Why are you stopping right in front of me? Can’t you see I have a train to catch? Why? WHY?! DON’T YOU FEAR THAT YOUR STUPID ACTIONS MIGHT HARM THE GENERAL WELLBEING, HARMONY AND COHESIVENESS OF SOCIETY?! Never mind harm to your good self by me stepping on your heels, pushing my fingers into the small of your back in an attempt to stop myself propelling right up your arse, and murmuring a stunned, muffled “ooof” into the back of your head?!
And don’t you realise that there is a reason why a mobile phone is called a mobile phone, you git?!
Apart from that, I really do like people. Sometimes.
Also, admittedly it is less dangerous than trams and pedestrians and cars in Melbourne. I really shouldn’t complain. But it’s still so fucking annoying.
