some thoughts on blackberries and the like

Let me just be clear, I'm not talking about the blackberry fruit which I fucking love.

Every morning on the train to work people are perusing their blackberries, iphones, what have you and lately it has been pissing me off so much. I don't really know why but I think it's the way they handle the devices and especially the look on their faces when they are using them.

Imagine someone already wearing dressy work clothes delicately handling their blackberry with this look on their face like whatever they are doing is so important and meaningful that President Fucking Obama must be awaiting the conclusion of their scrolling and typing. To humor myself I slid behind one of these people today to find that they were literally just going through the various menus and lists and doing FUCKING NOTHING. It led me to this weird profound sadness for humanity.
