Ugh... I'm a nice person and I'm happy to reply to questions from stranger on a variety of topics. But I was sitting in my favorite boba place just now and this skinny old lady wanders in and despite the fact that I was clearly typing with my iPod headphones on (they're bright white, you can't miss them), she just starts asking me questions about the wireless Internet at the boba house. I hit pause and pull one of the earbuds out of one of my ears and say, "Excuse me?"
She then repeats her questions, seemingly astounded that there are four of us here in the boba house who are surfing the web.
"Are you on the Internet? Because there are cables, here."
I tell her that the cables are for power only.
"Do you have T-Mobile, then?"
I tell her that the guy who runs the place has a wireless hub so all we need are wifi cards.
"All you use is your card? How much is it per hour?"
I tell her it's free.
"Oh..." She sounds uncertain. "I guess that's one way to get people in the door."
I tell her that's what gets me in here every day. She looks around for a moment and then moves to the bench on the other side of the place and sits next to another dude on a laptop.
You're welcome, bitch... sheesh...
She then interrupts this dude's cell phone call to ask him questions about wifi. At this point I've got my headphones back on and I'm annoyed, so I start writing this blog entry. Then, she approaches me again and once again starts talking to me. Luckily, I have my music on loud and I make like I'm really concentrating on my work. :) After 30 seconds of trying to talk to me, she realizes that I can't hear her (which is true) and she wanders off, leaving the store.
Here's a hint to every human who reads my blog. When someone has headphones on, LEAVE THEM ALONE. If they wanted to talk to you, they'd have their headphones off and be waiting for you, with baited breath, to open your mouth.
Thank you and good night.
