At the casino with my friend, we watched something we hadn't yet seen before.
A couple, rich and snobby, blanketed in top tier clothing and holding martinis, paced back and forth through the middle isle of tables. What I can only assume was a difference of opinion between them, sparred erratic behavior. The male took the wad of gum from his mouth and shoved it into her's to inhibit her ability to speak. Words were exchanged and they split up, him staying put and her walking away - not sure what happened with the gum.
It was merely seconds later that he pulled out his phone and dialed. The casino was pretty busy that night so their debacle dissolved into the rest of the room and if you weren't watching from the begining you wouldn't have noticed them. He continued to gesture as if someone was watching him, which of course she was. He twisted the phone so that only the bottom was near his face and he screamed into it. The girl came pacing back over and she did the same. Now other people started watching.
If I've lost any of you, these two ended up standing about two feet apart screaming at each other by cell phone, with the ear pieces of the phones nowhere near their faces. They continued arguing this way for another minute or so and then when they were finished shut their flip phones and split up again.
Obviously, it would have been simpler to just argue face to face, without cellular technology, but not for these two. Gotta find a way to use up all those minutes.
I guess the only thing one can take from this is that money doesn't solve problems, cell phones don't solve problems, and neither does sharing your gum. My faith in humanity is hanging by a thread.
Gotta go. Cell phone's ringing.
