Cell Phone Freaks (Can You Hear Me Now?)
I don't remeber this being such a problem when I left for Samoa in October of last year, but now you can't walk down the street (at least in DC) without seeing (and hearing) someone having a cell phone conversation with one of those ear pieces so it looks like they're talking to themselves.
Hopefully this behavior has reached a critical mass, but if it hasn't, I can imagine that this city is going to look like it's full of perambulating mental patients (or even more so than it already does). What an odd place to come back to.

That is funny. Do Peace Corps is the Philippines and you will think that Americans hardly ever use their cell phones compared to Filipinos! I guess it is a cultural thing . . .

Funny! You and I both had post today on cell phones. I really think that some people have just gone mad.
