Giant Neon Box

The other day I was out eating lunch with a coworker with a couple of gentlemen sitting to the side of us. They were speaking quite loudly and whenever someone does that I feel that is an open invitation to eavesdrop and later make fun of the said conversation. While halfway through their boring talks about a case (I know one was a lawyer but the other one I would guess to be his client) the lawyer receives a phone call and takes it right then and there. So not only a loud talker but he is also rude in cell phone etiquette by answering the phone when in public and while conversing with someone. Now all cell phones have caller ID so he knew right away who the caller but he decided to take it anyway (maybe it was an emergency?) . It was his son having an issue with a printer on his computer. Now I would understand if this was a young kid having some computer issues but after the conversation the lawyer told the other man that it was his son, a senior at MCAD, who was having these issues. This is a grown 22-23 year old kid who is calling is dad (who is working hard) and asking him how to fix a printer. I guess I would feel a little worried as the father after I pumped in $100,000 in tuition to find out my son was a good for nothing. Hey maybe he was more into performance art where he dressed up in a black stocking and sprang around while blowing a kazoo with his nose demonstrating how the evils of corporate world are causing great depression in the flocks geese that fly in the once "V" pattern we have learned to expect. -B.
