The SOLUTION:
If you’ve ever felt like strangling those loud-mouthed cell phone users who always seem to sit near you in a restaurant or other public places, here’s a lesson on how to combat this display of bad manners. After a very busy day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Montreal for Hudson. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking loudly: “Hi, sweetheart, it’s Eric. I’m on the train…yes, I know it’s the six-thirty and not the four-thirty but I had a long meeting…no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts office, with the boss…no, sweetheart, you’re the only one in my life…yes, I’m sure, cross my heart,” and on and on. Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly when the young woman sitting next to him, obviously angered by his diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice: “Hey, Eric, turn off that stupid phone and come back to bed!”
