YOUR Whole Life Story

Postby SerenitysDream on Sun Jul 06, 2008 7:01 pm

So either they are on their cell or they are talking to their friend whether they are sitting next to them, across the isle or there I say it, :o stand by the door while they are sitting down.. you hear it, the whole life story... this weekend alone it was "hey, whats up. Why didn't you tell me you lost your job" or behind me the convo went like this, first there was a lot of cussing in a real deep, deep southern drawl that had me asking myself where she was from when seemingly she read my mind and said "i'm from alabama (i said oh kay), my grand mom raised me and my great grand mom, then then they died and i had to move to bleep bleep Georgia when I was four" :? Then she went on to discuss each and every no good "N" she ever had and the guy she's dating now lives in Michigan but I think he's in jail, but he had the biggest, flattest tv she ever seen and her mom was like wow... i'm telling you she said you haven't seen anything like it... :roll: now if I understood her correctly cause about then three older women sat down (one right next ot me) and started talking about their dogs, the new apartment they got, why people dont understand the train, and blah, blah, blah. My son and I said in silence and just smiled at one another. As my daughter says "I Guess" I just really dont want to know. Usually I can turn up my IPOD, but when I'm with my son, I respect his time or throw myself into a mag or book, however, none of that works if the persons are speaking loud enough so that the ENTIRE TRAIN KNOWS YOUR WHOLE LIFE STORY!!

If I can hear you through my earphones -- which usually BLOCK OUT noise -- you got some issues! I hate the people who are sitting RIGHT NEXT TO EACH OTHER, and they are yelling like they are on opposite sides of the train. i mean, everything and everyone else on the bus/train is so quiet, why wouldn't you be self-conscious about your conversation?

I can't even understand talking on the phone because I don't want everyone to know my plans for whatever. Some people wonder why I don't talk on the train, well, I just am private about my business. I guess if i take my earphones off long enough, I can post more stories here! LOL
