Courtesy

I've been sitting here, in a coffee shop, listening to people talk.

There are some really loud obnoxious people in this world. I'm fairly certain that at least one, check that, I'm positive that one of them was drunk (he just said that he was). The conversation they chose to have started with.

Big words.
Antidisestablishmentarianism
What does it mean, and how can 'Anti' and 'Dis' be combined in that way.
Then on to people wasting food at tables and how they had chosen to eat said food.

They were talking about all these things in really loud voices, with liberal use of the word "fuck" while a baby was at the table, not two feet away from them, and the other patrons were starting to look at them.

I understand wanting to have free speech, and the ability to talk to each other freely. What I don't understand is how they don't feel embarrassed about them in front of a tiny baby. In a public coffee house. At five in the afternoon.

Seriously, yell all you like. Drink all you like, no brain cells out of my head. Do your drugs. Just please, have a little bit of common courtesy and stay away from public places when you're yelling fuck every two words.

Ignorance is bliss I guess. When all you can care about is yourself, when you're ignorant of the feelings of others, it must be a good time.

I for one can't turn those feelings off.

I'm glad.
