no “annoying cell-phonies” tag yet? soon enough, I surmise.
OP, people are annoying fucks, especially while in public.
“HELLO” is WAY better than half the crap I eavesdrop in on….
thank your stars.
Or people who text as they’re walking and then look at you like YOU’RE the one who should have had the courtesy to move, since YOU didn’t have better things to do like text.
i couldn’t add more to your bitch if i wanted to, it fits right in there with the text/walking assholes.
They say “hello” loudly because someone called them, and streets are noisy. You’re the dumbass for making it about you. You are not the center of the universe. For christ’s sake, have a sense of humor and laugh at yourself, it’s not that big of a deal. Relax.
You should not be eavesdropping on their calls you douchbag!
I was recently listening to Nora Young talk at a conference. She talked about how when phones were first being used by people, nobody ever knew what to say when they answered it. One of the more popular “test” phrases used was “A-hoy”….I really wish that stuck, that would have been awesome, and I’m totally bringing it back 🙂
What? The person walking behind you used the expression “hello” to answer their phone? WTF!!! I mean, all these years I have been searching for the ideal word to use in a salutatory context when my phone rings.
