Coffee Shop Ramblings


What is it with people and their damn ringtones? I understand if you want to pick a song that you really like to be your ringtone, hell even I have that. What I don't understand is why they think everyone else around them want to hear it? On a relatively quiet day in the coffee shop I was startled when I heard the sound of a rooster crowing. This lady sitting across from me seemingly forgot to put her cellphone on vibrate, or hell even on a lower volume setting. But these things happen. What also usually happens is the person realizes that there is no reason for their phone to be so loud so they turn it on vibrate to be courteous. Not this bitch. Not only did she not bother to turn her phone down, she thought it was funny that people were startled by the loud rooster noise signifying her incoming text message. And she thought it was funny each subsequent time that the phone crowed obnoxiously. She'd pick up her phone with delight, look around the room to see who was looking at her, and then giggle. And then it donned on me. I had always wondered who was dumb enough to actually follow through with those Jamster commercials. The ones where you can get that annoying ass bear singing some lame-ass song. Or how about this rabbit?

Yeah, my hats off to you if you managed to make it through that whole video. Who would pay for things like this? This lady, that's who. Why? To annoy people like me. We had the opportunity folks. All we had to do is get together and reject this bullshit and Jamster would have went under. But noooo. Some of you assholes aren't getting it so now the Jamster et al commercials plague TV like pinkeye in a college dorm. Come on now people. I'd like to have faith in you, but you gotta feed me some rope here.
