GIFT SHOP GAB

HELLO,
WELCOME TO MY FIRST EDITION OF CHAT & OTHER CHIT. ONCE A WEEK I GAB ABOUT WHATEVER CROSSES MY MIND (I KNOW!) OR GETS ON MY NERVES AS THE CASE MAY BE.

TODAY'S TOPIC IS PRIVATE CONVERSATIONS IN PUBLIC PLACES

I HAD MY CHILDREN OUT SIDE OUR SHOP THIS AFTERNOON JUST FOR SOME FRESH AIR. WE OFTEN WALK ON THE SIDEWALK BACK AND FORTH (AND BACK AND FORTH)TO BURN OFF A LITTLE ENERGY, 15 MIN OR SO USUALLY DOES THE TRICK. ANYWAY, TODAY THERE WAS A MAN OUTSIDE ON THE SIDEWALK TALKING ON HIS CELL PHONE. I SHOULD SAY ARGUING WITH WHAT SOUNDED LIKE HIS EX ON THE PHONE ABOUT HER ATTITUDE TOWARD HIS DATING ACTIVITIES WHEN SHE HAD HER NEW MAN UP IN HIS HOUSE IN FRONT OF HIS DAUGHTER. (HIS WORDS NOT MINE) I KNOW ALL THIS NOT BECAUSE I WAS EAVESDROPPING ON HIS CONVERSATION BUT BECAUSE HE WAS SO LOUD ANYONE OUTSIDE COULD HEAR HIM. SO WHEN WE WERE ON ABOUT OUR 10TH LAP IN FRONT OF THE SHOP THIS MAN LOOKS AT ME ANGRILY AND SAYS "HEY MISS DO YOU MIND? I'M TRYING TO HAVE A PRIVATE CONVERSATION!" (CAN YOU BELIEVE THIS GUY?) I JUST STARED AT HIM FOR A SECOND. I TRY TO ALWAYS BE ON MY BEST BEHAVIOR AT LEAST FOR THE SAKE OF MY BUSINESS.(LIKE I HAVE SUCH A SPARKLIN REPUTATION) BUT I JUST COULDN'T RESIST SO I SAID TO HIM " WELL THEN BUBBA I SUGGEST YOU GO FIND SOMEPLACE PRIVATE BECAUSE IN CASE YOU HAVEN'T NOTICED, YOU'RE IN PUBLIC!"

REALLY, DO PEOPLE THINK WHEN THEY ARE OUT IN PUBLIC TALKING ON THE PHONE THEY SHOULD HAVE THE EXPECTATION OF PRIVACY? I HAVE ACTUALLY BEEN IN THE WALMART, AND SOMEONE WAS TALKING ON THE PHONE WITH ONE OF THOSE FLIPPIN LITTLE EAR BUG THINGS, AND I THOUGHT THEY WERE TALKING TO ME SO I ANSWERED THEM. THEN THEY HAD TO SO RUDELY POINT OUT TO ME THAT THEY WERE ON THE PHONE AND NOT TALKING TO ME AT ALL. I THINK IF YOU MUST TALK ON THE PHONE WHILE YOU'RE SHOPPING YOU SHOULD AT LEAST HAVE TO HAVE THE PHONE IN YOUR HAND SO THE REST OF US KNOW THAT YOU ARE NOT TALKING TO US! AND DON'T EVEN LET ME START ABOUT TALKING ON THE CELL PHONE WHILE YOUR DRIVING! WHOOOOO! LET ME GET OFF THIS ROLL BEFORE I HURT SOMEONE.

AND MISTER IF YOU'RE OUT THERE ,I THINK YOUR RIGHT. YOUR EX-WIFE SHOULDN'T BE ABLE TO TELL YOU WHO TO DATE WHEN SHE'S BRINGING HER NEW MAN UP IN YOUR HOUSE!

Y'ALL HANG IN THERE
