I stopped in the grocery store last night after work and headed towards the produce section so I could buy some Granny Smith apples. I suddenly realized there was this woman there, feeling up the empire apples with one hand, while holding her cellphone to her ear with the other. Her cart was blocking my access to the apples, so I said "Excuse me".
Nothing.
"Excuse Me!"
Again, nothing.
"EXCUSE ME!!!"
Finally she turns around and tells me that she is trying to stop all the apples from rolling on the floor (but she's only using one hand).
So I said, "Maybe if you put your cellphone down, you could use both hands."
"Oh no! I just HAVE to talk to my friend Joanne!!!"
She eventually moved her cart and I was able to choose some apples. As I left the store some time later, she was still wandering around, with an empty cart, but finally off the phone. I guess whatever earth shattering crisis she and Joanne simply HAD to solve was over and the world was again as it should be.
