Revenge
After a tiring day at work, I got on the train – my usual commute – and sat down and closed my eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to me pulled out his cellphone and started speaking in a really loud voice: “Hi sweetheart. It’s Eric. I’m on the train,†I could hear him bellow.
“Yes, I know it’s the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meetingâ€.
“No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounting office. It was with my bossâ€.
“No sweetheart, you’re the only on in my lifeâ€.
‘’Yes, I’m sure, cross my heartâ€.
At first, I tried asking him politely to lower his voice, but he got really cross with me and said – rather rudely, I might add- “You are free to find another seat.â€
Fifteen minutes pass and they guy is still talking loudly. It’s at this point that I got fed up with his antics and leaned into the phone to say,
“Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed.â€
Redfaced and absolutely shocked, he shut off the phone and didn’t say a single word after I did that. I doubt he uses his phone in public any longer. |
