Hahahaha gotcha! Just thought I would tell you guys something that really stood out this weekend and that's "old farts" and technology.
Example 1---I have been dealing with a badass dose of bronchitis that has kicked my ass for 5 days. Finally went to the doctor on Friday and while I was in the waiting room there were 4 other patients and a few spouses with them. Everyone single one of them were on their phones talking about personal stuff (infections, child problems) they had lost their ability to understand what talking softly means as well. I mean who does this? Any of you? If I get a call in a public place I either don't take the call, text back that I will call later or I step outside....it's polite and imo necessary. I see young people do this all the time in stores and restaurants but "old farts" too?? So I guess there is a sweet spot between being young and dumb to old and clueless?
Example 2---headed to Walmart to pick my much needed wonderful meds! I had to say excuse me and walk around many old couples who walk side by side down isles that are not made for leisurely strolls much less stopping and squinting at the labels talking about assorted uses for scrunchies and cleaning supplies....and yes some were on their phones!
I am making light of this because I wasn't pissed but I did notice it more than usual. Felt like I was in Florida during the Winter months around Sarasota.
Anyway, I think technology is wonderful but I also think it's created a lot of problems with people and their ability to have an awareness of others. It's unsafe for sure because people can take advantage of you when your head isn't into what your doing. Be careful out there!![]()
