You Talk Too Much

George Thorogood is not especially known for writing original tunes. The bulk of his work consists of remakes of existing music, so I'm not sure if this topic is based on a Thorogood original or a version of his interpretation of somebody else's work. I always liked Mr. Delaware Destroyers' music, but I'll concede he lacks originality...but that's not what I'm bitching about today, no my beef is with....


EVERYBODY who yaks incessantly on their cell phones, simply because...they can. In New York, there's a ban on making cell calls while driving unless you use a hand's free mic, yet day in and day out I see hundreds of ignorant boobs with one hand on the wheel and the other plastered to the side of their head gabbing about the idiocies of their lives. I travel by bus and the moronic conversations I overhear are beyond inane, the people are gabbing simply because they can. I have to wonder what the parties on the opposing ends of these one-sided conversations think about the dull tales that flow out of the mouths of these doofuses.


Last week I had to pick up a prescription at Wal Mart. The branch I go to has very narrow aisles, so navigating them is a real headache, especially if you're pushing a shopping cart. yet many are plugged and clogged with dimwits who are so busy blabbing into their phones they don't realize what problems they're causing. The worst area is where the check-out lines abut the aisles with merchandise. A couple of young gals were waiting to approach the cashier and were way out in the main aisle, I asked if they could move up to make it easier to pass by. One turned and sneered down her nose at me and then proceded to blather on the phone about Daniella's gym outfit. I truly wanted to kick her fat-ass up the line a few feet, but since I can't afford an assault charge, I was left to manever around her immense portruding buttocks. What is it about cell phones that everybody who owns one feels that they must use it 24/7/365? I can understand the CEO of General Motors having to make important phone calls in the course of his day, but the schmoes that I encounter on a daily basis are just killing time by flapping their gums. This would be an appropriate time for a busy signal! If you've got an opinion on this, don't call, e-mail me and let me know what you think. Sigh....
