[quote=Anonymous]I used to think that people who yammer on and on on their cellphones in public places were just rude and annoying.  Now I realize that they are also stupid.  Yesterday I was waiting (waaay too long) at the gynecologist's office.  A woman in the waiting room was having an endless conversation on her cellphone, totally obnoxious going on and on about how hard it was for her to hire a new housekeeper (she already had a nanny).  She was totally rude to the front desk staff--when they needed to ask her some questions, she kept talking on the phone while answering them.  She was talking super loud for at least 30 minutes about her "problems."

I was on the verge of asking her to please keep it down, when the nurse came out and called her name.  Presto!  I was able to Google everything about her on my phone as I continued to wait--having heard her name from the nurse, and having already heard from her loud mouth her husband's name, where he was last week for work, how many kids she has, etc.  In just minutes, I knew her address, where she worked, where she went to college, etc.  For me, this was just idle cyberstalking as revenge for having had to listen to her for half an hour.  But then I started thinking--what if someone with even worse motives had heard everything that I heard?  Perhaps the real karmic punishment for rude cellphone behavior in public is identity theft, or burglary, or something else?[/quote]
