...to the 20-something woman walking SLOWLY through the wal-mart texting this afternoon:
You know, when it's 4:30 pm, and the place is cram-jammed, and most of the folks there are just desperate to grab their boxes of pasta or cartons of milk or whatever, and pay and scram, probably it is not a good idea to walk slowly around that blind corner out of Frozen Foods with your eyes focused only on whatever you are tapping into your little Borg-screen.
I didn't appreciate having to stop short - in HEELS no less, which I had been wearing since 6:30 am - while trying to negotiate my cart around the approximately 580 other people in the aisle.
Seriously, whatever it is? I'm quite sure either it can wait 'til you're done shopping, or your shopping can wait 'til you're done texting? 'K?
Seriously, I am beginning to think they should make the noon hour and from 3:30 pm to 6:30 pm "Distracting Electronics Free Hours" at the wal-mart - so that people can, as I said, get in, buy their box of pasta and carton of milk, and scram, without having to deal with traffic jams caused by people who are allegedly multitasking.

Try walking down a crowded sidewalk in Manhattan and having hordes of these texting zombies marching about with nary a glance up from their keyboards.
retards.
And then there was that jackass the other day who blindly kept walking across the street against a red light without looking up from his crackberry. Fortunately for him, I saw him coming as the light changed and didn't run over his sorry ass as he so richly deserved.
You realize the only way she'd get that note is if it appeared on her screen. . .
WV: "hosac"--there's a name you could've called her.
