(no subject)
Girl who sits next to me, about whom I've posted before, is currently (as I type this), freaking the fuck out because her very expensive iPhone isn't picking up when someone calls (snigger). Like she's almost in tears and she's flinging things around and saying things like "this is unacceptable." Now, I'd thought that she was upset because this thing that her mom waited online to buy for her is as broken as I told her it would be if she got the first batch and I assumed that she was going to say something along the lines of, "Don't even say it!" and she would have been right to head me off except of course that she wouldn't be making this kind of fuss if she didn't want some sort of attention so badly that she would even be willing to settle for me telling her that her mom wasted money (ha ha). Except that she didn't say that, she just kept huffing around so I felt like I had to step in, which I hate doing, and say, "what's wrong?"
And that's when she really surprised me by not being as materialistic as I thought she was (while still remaining batshit fucking crazy).
She: What if someone called me and I couldn't answer it?
Me: Well then you'd have to call them back, wouldn't you?
She: But that's not why you have a cellphone. You have a cellphone so that you can answer it as soon as it rings [and I swear to you, she said this word for word] wherever you are, all the time.
Me: Well, okay, but there are always times when you're not going to be able to answer your phone. I mean calls get missed sometimes. It happens.
She: Not to me.
Me: Never?
She: Accidents happen.
Me: What?
She: Emergencies happen. If someone called me from the hospital, I can't just call that person back. If you're calling from a hospital they don't let you use your cellphone again [I don't have a clue what she's talking about; she's obviously emotional at the moment].
Me: Look, if they're... Wait, I'm sort of lost here, but wait, if they're calling from a hospital.... If they're calling, they're obviously okay.
She: Some things are just important to me [?].
Me: What about when you're on the toilet?
She: We obviously just live in different worlds.
Apparently in her world they don't use the restroom. In my world I wonder what she did before the cellphone was invented.
