Looks Can Be Deceiving

Today, as I was leaving the library, I passed a young woman who was happily walking along, talking away… to nobody. From a distance, the woman appeared to be exhibiting signs of schizophrenia – walking along, chatting and laughing up a storm with a person who wasn’t really present. She was talking on her cell-phone, of course.

Yep, those little cell-phone earpieces can be quite deceiving, especially when they are strategically hidden in the hair. I knew what it was after about two seconds – but the thought that she did appear schizophrenic was rather humorous and kept me laughing for a while (and not that schizophrenia is a laughing matter either, but you know). This was not my first encounter, however, with those cell phone ear things.

A while back, this girl was sitting behind me in class just chatting away. I thought she was talking to the guy next to her so I tried joining in on the conversation. Turns out she, too, had one of those darn earpieces in her ear! It was still a nice little conversation – even though she probably thought I was rude for [unintentionally] trying to join in on her phone convo! Ha Ha.

In conclusion, even though those earpieces have probably been around forever (I am not a cell-phone aficionado or connoisseur), these type of encounters have only recently begun occurring. Strange, I know. And, I know this is a strange thing to write a blog about but I’ll do just about anything to put off doing homework today. So, I guess that’s about it. Thanks for reading!
