Talkin' to yo self

Earlier today, I was in the computer lab, sitting next to a middle-aged man who kept talking to himself. I tried to tune it out, but it was irritating. He kept mumbling things like "shit!" and "good." I'm too polite, otherwise I should have yelled at him in a whisper, because it was the library after all. Weirdo.

Talking to yourself is only okay when you're alone!

Ugh, I had the same type of guy a few weeks ago in my computer lab. He was muttering so many cuss words, I had to get out of there in case he was nuts or about to go nuts. Don't people know that cuss words are really hard to to tune out even if spoken quietly? More so than other words. I'd say it's worse than being on a cell phone, since there is absolutely no reason you ever NEED to talk to yourself audibly.

I'm so glad you understand! I'm heading back to the computer lab in a few. Hope that dude isn't there or I might have to resign myself to working on a Mac. At least with a cell phone, you're conversing with a human and not yourself.
