Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for August 07, 2024

The ones who leave me scratching my head are the people on dates who spend almost the whole time on their phones.

Boy she thought it was bad in the 90’s, what a comment she’d make today! You can’t go anywhere without someone’s screen on.

wonder of wonders…. is Val a fast writter or is she carrying that list everywere?

Talking to loud on phones is as cool as getting whopped with a wrecking ball.

I think cell phones should be left in the car while on a date. Even when you’re married. My husband has to have his phone with him for client calls. He’s self-employed. Other than that, he doesn’t answer it.

I love going to a restaurant and seeing a family come in and immediately break out phones. One news report was at a local ice cream place with outside dining. Everyone was on their phones.

Phones at ballgames. You spend a couple of hundred dollars for great seats and then you stare at your phone?

We were driving – slowly, thank Heavens! – through a parking lot and some young fellow stepped off the curb and walked into the side of our car.

And yelled at us to be more careful!

1- People who use the speaker phone in public.2- People with Bluetooth ear pieces in the checkout line, so you think they’re talking to you.

Nobody can burn like a sibling.
