Hey what's good?
Nothing man you?
Oh ... I'm on my blue tooth sorry.
Ever have one of those conversations? I certainly have. Now with many states requiring that you cannot talk on the phone and drive people are turning to blue tooth to carry on all their important telephone conversations while driving down the highway at 90 odd miles an hour. It is all well and good when a person is using their bluetooth in the car by themselves - I commend them for having both hands on the speeding hunk of metal we call a car, however, when you are walking around in public or standing near me please for the love of all things I actually like use your phone not your blue tooth. Almost everyone has experienced almost talking or attempting to engage a blue toother in a conversation. There is an upside to blue tooth - it allows a person to use both hands, it can sync to many difference technology devices, and doesn't require a ton of cables to tie you down to a desk. Despite all the good there is the bad - people talking on the phone are still distracted from what they are doing, while they may have both hands on the wheel they are still not entirely focused on what they are doing and this situation can easily result in a terrible car accident. All in all blue tooth is still a distraction and an enabler to awkward social situations, so please if you need to talk to someone on the phone that badly do it on your own time not in public.

Facebook Me
With social networking sites growing larger every day, more and more people are relying on sites to inform everyone of their doings. When checking Facebook I do not need to know that you have eaten, used the bathroom, got a crazy haircut, tried standing on your head and it didn't go well, and so on. It is no that secret people abuse the status update feature. Currently Facebook has two hundred million users, out of these users one hundred million log on and use Facebook everyday. Twenty million of all the users on Facebook update their statuses once a day. Think about it. That alone is twenty million new status about Mittens your cat and that crazy thing the kid you are babysitting did. Now that's thinking hopefully that people only post one status a day but we are kidding ourselves if we believe that. People update close to on the hour and because of it my newsfeed is overloaded with obnoxious information. Please for all of us I don't care that you ate a bad mango if you need to let everyone know what you are up to get a Twitter.

The EARLY Morning Wake Up Call
Enjoy sleeping? Me too. Don't you hate when you're sleeping and in the middle of a good dream and then dee dee dee, your cell phone receives a text. Groggily you check the time and realize it is three in the morning. Fact is were addicted to cell phones to the point where people can and will text us at any hour of the day. Really annoying? I agree. It is so annoying when people text me at early hours when I am trying to sleep. Society has broken down the norms of hours from morning to evening to anytime all the time. Now almost five billion people own cell phones and it is quickly growing as an addiction that people cannot overcome. Please all 4,999,999,999 if you who own cell phones do not text me at three in the morning, I need my sleep so I don't get bitter and post more of these.

Full Mouth?
Another social issue that many people do not always realize is the whole issue of food in someones' teeth. Do you tell them? Do you ignore it and hope someone else tells them? Well I am about to answer the question for you. TELL THEM! It is extremely embarrassing to go to the bathroom only to find that you have been flashing half of your dinner scattered throughout your molars to your company. If you notice that someone has food in their teeth for all of us who are uncomfortable looking at it tell them, when the favor is returned you to will be grateful.

People and Their Cell Phones
There is nothing more annoying then people talking to you while on their cell phones. I work in a coffee shop and my co-workers and I find it extremely rude when customers attempt to order while talking on their cell phones. Not only is it obnoxious for us to have to sit there and wait for the customer to finish their conversation with the all important God on the other line, but we always get the occasional customer who orders in between sentences making for a very confusing situation. In order to do my job well I need to know what you want to drink unfortunately I am not a mind reader so I cannot magically figure out what you are about to order. Please for all of us retail workers get off your cell phones if you want our help.
