Mobile Phones Offer Privacy Bubble
Several nights ago, Chris and I had dinner at our local Arby's here in Farmington. We usually don't eat in when it comes to fast food, but we were both so hungry the short trip back across town seemed too much long to wait.
Lest my urban dwelling readers think that our rural little country town is behind the times, I'll have you know that in the same parking lot as Arby's is Papa John's where they have recently added free wi-fi access in the restaurant. The Burger King down the street has been a wi-fi hot spot the whole two years we have lived here. Ahead of the tech curve, for sure.
An even more impressive technological advance is a brand new feature of cell phones allowing the user to have extremely personal conversations in public places without being overheard. While I work in the telecommunication industry, it was at that Arby's right here in Farmington that I first learned of this exciting breakthrough.
The young lady talking on her mobile phone at a table behind ours obviously uses this modern marvel. It would have been highly embarrassing for her to know those of us dinning around her could have heard her conversation.
She must have intended that Chris and I be spared hearing about her brother being gossiped about. What she didn't want everyone hear all about is that some girl is going around saying that our dinner companions brother is the one who got her pregnant. The brother and this girl broke up before our dinner companion had her baby who is five months old, and she's only three months pregnant.
In all this drama, of course, the sister needed to have a Beef and Cheddar while going over the details with a friend on her cell phone. After that she planed to go over to this other person's house to confront her over the gossip about her brother. Certainly, the sustenance of curly fries would serve her well in this stressful endeavor.
It was apparent to Chris and I that this devoted sister simply forgot to turn on her brand new high tech privacy bubble. Otherwise, she certainly would have lowered her voice to keep the sordid details of her personal life from the ears of those nearby.
I always bulk up with curly fries before a major confrontation.

I'll remember to run if I ever see you with 'em.

Or rather, her brother's sordid personal life. Aren't people like that just annoying?
Tina, do not underestimate the power of curly fries! Hahaha!
