While I'm Here

Let me spew and rant.

It's known that find the majority of humanity deplorable. It is also known that I am a pacifist. An argumentative cock. A judgemental pushover. And a sap. Lover and hater of technology equally.

With that being said let me discuss a monstrous pet peeve of mine.

I work in a semi-corporate setting. What that means is that I go to a large office building. Take an elevator to a cubicle and spend most of the day ducking from the rest of the world. The company I work for does NOT own the building and there is only a handful of us employed by this company.

Sooooo on my way up and down every day I notice a good range of people in age, income, race, religion, morals and neurosis'.

I am a painfully shy person. I don't expect ANYONE (and maybe prefer) to be outward going. You don't have to look at me. You don't have to pretend you cannot smell my ass gas. BUT. For the love of anything that you may find holy.
Get off of the fucking phone.
Holy crap. It is horrible enough when someone comes walking in jabberjawing on how they got a VD this weekend and how much it cost to get rid of it at the clinic. Or your kid is SSSSSoooooooooo fucking talented. Or your (in)significant other is piece of human waste. Etc. etc. etc.
I want to kick them in the ankle.
BUT....BUTTTTTT
Texting?!? Seriously. You can't even have the balls to look up at me? I GUARANTEE it is nothing important.
You cannot wait 48 seconds until you get off the elevator. I wish so much that these people would walk into a wall and bust their nose right open.
The complexity of mankinds rudeness is beyond comprehension.
I'm guilty of texting. I'm guilty of talking on a phone in public. But here is a major factor that almost EVERYONE is forgetting. Be discreet. I don't want to hear you. I don't want to see the top of your head.
The "smartphones" are turning everyone into spineless, unthoughtful, but yet outspoken (via Facebook) assholes with no passion for anything tangible.
fuck off, go fuck yourself, and go fuck your phone.

PPPPPPpbbbbbbbsssssssssttttttttttttttttttttt

I didn't want to. And I'll probably stop. I started doing all of this long ago. Lost interest. Got involved in more important, and sometimes better, things.
This is purely a test. A test of the system. It'll transform and migrate into other areas and sites. This is not intended for the public.
SO if you stumble across it...my condolences.
If you take it seriously....tough shit.
