This morning, at the start of a promising day, at Starbucks. This lady rushes to get in front of me in the line up, cellphone in hand. There are approximately a dozen of customers to be served before us. At 15 seconds per customer, that’s approximately 3 minutes waiting time.
3 minutes with her cell phone in hand talking in a very low voice, making sure no one is listening in on her (I suspect).
Barista (to cellphone lady): Good morning, what can I get you?
Cell Phone Lady: Oh… hummm.. (silence while looking at the board).. hummm
Me: She’ll have a Grande Bold
Cell Phone Lady (to me): No! I can order my own drink
Me: You’ve been here almost 5 minutes in a line up and you couldn’t decide, I thought I’d help.
Cell Phone Lady: I don’t need this (and leaves)
Me (to Barista): Sorry! But I did you a favour.
Barista: Good morning. What can I get you?
It’s good to be back at work.

You’re kidding, someone who was considerate enough to keep their voice down whilst on their phone? No way!
I particularly like that she can knowingly walk into starbucks (which I’m sure she’s been to a hundred times before) stand in line for that long and then have to peruse the menu. Assclown.
Oh, and the Baristatron 5000 cracked me up too. Any sign of a normal human reaction there at all?
I want a portable cell phone jammer.

Mutant & mt: I’m a cell hater… I mean I love my iPhone, but I restrict myself to “polite use” only. You won’t see me in a line-up while talking on the phone ignoring the person whose there to help me…
William: I’m sure you see the same bozos I do everyday.
