Privacy Anywhere
In the car dealership’s crowded service waiting room today, a woman’s phone rang loudly. She was seated right next to a sign that asked people to please step out of the room to accept phone calls. But, she answered her phone loudly, and began to speak loudly:
“Oh hi it was me called Bob’s got a tumor behind his eye! … No they’re not going to take it out they say you do that it’s everywhere. … The shoes? Oh I got the beige ones if I had known about this I would’a got the blue….”
This went on for quite some time, and included lunch plans and much talk of other recent purchases. I considered writing a note to slip to her, asking her if the tumor was shaped, perhaps, like a cell phone.
