Bad Phone Friends

Karen and I both have friends with atrocious cell phone manners. My friend is one of those people who will talk at the top of her lungs and cackle like a witch into her phone while eating at a restaurant. And, of course, she'll take call after call during a meal until I take my fork and stab her phone.

Karen just accompanied her bad cell phone friend to the grocery store yesterday. Her friend has a genetic hip problem and has trouble walking. She's going in for surgery this week so Karen is helping her arrange for post hip replacement life by stocking up on food and moving stuff around in her house so she can reach it from a wheelchair. Her friend had to use on of those "rascal" scooters to get around the grocery store. And she spend most of the time in the grocery isle, talking super loud into her cell phone. So Karen finally had enough and told her friend "Would you shut up and drive?"
