eksena sa fx

I envy Sun subscribers. They get to yak anywhere, anytime, all they want. Let's take last night, for example.

I took an FX to get home last night. Seated beside me was this guy who obviously had a rough day at work. Granted that it was raining very hard and that we had to wait in line for at least an hour in the pouring rain, his face showed even more distress, as if he just got fired from his job.

Less than a minute after we got ourselves seated comfortably in the vehicle, he whips out his cell and calls, I'm assuming here, his girlfriend. For the next fifteen minutes he goes on about the four thousand bucks that's been deducted from his pay, how work sucks, the four thousand bucks that's been deducted from his pay, how his boss sucks, the four thousand bucks that's been deducted from his pay, how tired he is, how bad the rain is, how bad the traffic is, and the four thousand bucks that's been deducted from his pay.

Now I'm assuming his girlfriend's saying things like, It's ok sweetheart, I love you, blah blah blah, is there anything that I can do? To which he replied, just don't leave me, just don't leave me.

Whooo...then they talk a bit more and he hangs up. A minute later he calls someone else, I'm assuming here that it's a different person because his tone shifts to a happier one and they start talking about school, what's showing at the movies, etc. That's for another fifteen minutes. And then he calls another person, and then another. Wow...I wonder how many friends he's got on Sun, too?

Anyway, the last call was the most interesting, because he starts a fight with his girlfriend. Well, of course if you ask him, it's the girl who started it. From my POE (point of earshot), here's what I think happened. The guy calls for some TLC, the girl answers, the guy's cranky, the girl wonders, are you mad? what did I do? And the guy says, No I'm just tired, and the girl says, You are angry! Listen to the tone of your voice! And the girl starts crying, and the guy hits back, I'm angry?!?!?!?! Look at you! Jesus, stop being a baby! You want me to leave you?!?!?!

And the verbal exercise goes on for the next twenty minutes and ends with the guy hanging up and then texting furiously, I'm assuming, some more angry messages to the crazy girlfriend.

I'm getting myself a Sun line later.
