If you're going to sit out on your stoop, smoking a cigarette and talking on your NexTel™ walkie-talkie enabled cell phone, could you please turn down the signature "bleep-bleep!" sound so it's not audible from across the freakin' street and up in my office? Blee-bleep! Blee-bleep! Blee-bleep! It makes me want to open the window and shout at you... or throw things... or get a high-powered rifle, and we wouldn't want that, now would we?

Love,
Steve

1) Methinks shouting is in order. Or at least a "could you please..."

2) Me-also-thinks the "love, Steve" was not sincere given the rest of the message.

3) Me-lastly-thinks geeks who say "methinks" need a kick in the ... uh, never mind.

I find it highly amusing that my phone, whose battery is currently dying, chose exactly the moment I was reading your post to announce this fact with a "bee-beep!" :)

I feel your pain. I used to work in a call centre supporting those darn things, and every last supervisor had one. And not one of them could walk the 100 feet to go talk to another supervisor. To this day I detest that sound.

I detest those damned things. Of course, I mostly see whores, drug dealers, and other assorted thugs and genetic throwbacks using them.
