So, I'm at work and I go to a Subway restaurant downtown. The lady ahead of me is on her cellphone and orders a Philly Cheesesteak. She then explains to the person she's on the phone with that the serve only put in a container and a half of meat. "Oh, so usually it's two?" she says to her person on the phone, then starts tapping on the little glass separator. "Excuse me, miss? I want that extra half-container." The weird thing isn't just her haggling over how much meat she's going to get but the fact that she's on the phone consulting with someone about it.

That's crazy that you see that everyday.

Cue the Seinfeld music.

Everything that goes on at my job.

In fact, it shouldnt even be weird anymore because he should be accustomed to it. Maybe even be convinced that he should place a similiar order and such.

I'm just going to go ahead and say that I almost hate that cell phones were ever invented. They are ruining our society. They cause more car accidents than drunk driving. You can't even hold a conversation with someone anymore without them doing something on their phone. Hell you can't even stand in line at the grocery store or sit on the train without hearing someone's life story while they talk on the phone.

 

Sorry for ruining your thread with my rant. (In Billy Madison voice) Now go on with the weird things!

Yep, and people texting in movie theaters are the worst.

I got one for you! This blew my socks off and I had to turn away laughing so the person in front of me wouldn't get upset and start a ruckuss. Here goes! Saturday I went into Subway. There was a guy and his wife (probably in their 50's).. They both order 6 inch Subs. The guy...A BLT.

The wife.......A Subway melt with Guacamole. The lady behind the counter is making them both at the same time. She's putting black forest ham on the wife's sandwich. The wife panickly exclaims.. OH!! "Can you put the ham on my husband's sandwich. I have arthritis and pork affects it a lot." The lady complies! Now...............get this. The lady puts "5 STRIPS" of bacon on the wife's sandwich, and what comes out of the wife's mouth is, "Can you please heat that up? I don't like bacon when it's cold!"

I had to walk away as quick as I could with my head down and turned away.

Never seen that before. Wouldn't doubt it, but, I think it would be very hard to measure.

I don't know if you can actually quantify it explicitly, but you can test people's reaction abilities both while drunk and while on cell phones.

What is it about Subway? It definitely brings out the weirdness in people.

I was outside my building downtown today, and this guy walks up and asks for a quarter. I gave the usual "sorry", he walked away. Then just after he walks away, he pulls a blackberry out of his pocket and makes a phone call.

 

The office I work out of is a client's call center. They handle car accidents and whatnot. The lady across from me calls 2010 models "Oh-ten's", (IE: so you hit an Oh-Ten Camry? )it drives me CRAZY.

I still can't believe you wouldn't give me a quarter.

Man, you haven't aged well since I last saw you.

I work in finance and I hear people say "oh-ten", "oh-eleven", "oh-twelve" etc all the time. It doesnt bother me, I just think it sounds odd. And being that it is clearly wrong, it makes the person saying it seem somewhat ignorant.
