Plagioclase and I were at a sub shop for lunch today, and it slowly dawned on me that the guy in line who was talking a mile-a-minute was on the phone (using a bluetooth earpiece); not talking to (or even lunching with) the guy he was standing next to.

It would have been even worse if he hadn’t hung up (yes, I know that’s an outmoded term) before he started chowing down. How appetizing that would have been to be on the other end, listening to amplified soup slurping…
