Passenger 1: How did you get your phone to work? I am having lots of problems with logging onto my facebook with my droid.
Passenger 2: I don't know what to tell you.
Passenger 1: It's probably the government. I just bought a tricked out new sig [gun] so they've probably taken it over.
(later, still talking to Passenger 2)
Passenger 1: I used to make tons of money doing modeling, but I didn't have a car, so I couldn't keep it up.
Passenger 2: What do you do now?
Passenger 1: I work at a pizza place.
Passenger 2: Well, you can thank Obama. He just upped minimum wage to $10.10 [FALSE. Only applies to certain federal employees]
Then an unbelievable conversation followed where Pass. 1 detailed exactly how much he makes, his last break up, and how his mom pays his cell phone bill. Oh yeah, and then he started telling Pass. 2 about how he needs a woman he can cuddle with for two years, because he doesn't need intimacy (but he doesn't know the word intimacy. He used different terms).
Seriously. I couldn't stand this. It kept going. On and on. About everything. I finally had to put in my headphones and crank up my skrillex station on pandora. Let's move on.
Passenger A (50-something in a very fancy suit. Has been discussing his stock portfolio for like 5 excruciating minutes already): So, are you going to watch the State of the Union tonight?
Passenger B: I don't think I can stand getting any angrier.
Passenger A: I know. Did you hear how Obama is going to pass a bunch of laws this year by himself?
FALSE. You sir, with your fancy suit and wads of money, are an idiot. The Executive branch cannot legislate. The legislative branch does that. That is information you learn in the first five seconds of your high school gov class. I was sitting there reading my American Congress textbook as he was spouting this falsehoods two feet away from me. But instead of correcting him I just resented him for making so much money while being so dumb.
So. That was today.
