Well last Friday we had just sat down to eat at a local Thai restaurant when the story about my day was interrupted with "whiiiiiiiir DING!" and then again and again.
I scan the room we are dining in and notice that the only other people in the room are two guys. Upon further inspection I noticed that they were playing poker on their phones...at the table...with the sound on. So the whiiiiiir DING continues and my irritation level rises to an all time high. I keep giving Jon a look to indicate my annoyance. Jon isn't too good with the subtle cues so after the whiiiir DING happens AGAIN (!) I shoot him a look so exaggerated that my eye balls nearly roll onto the table cloth. Finally he gets it but just shrugs his shoulders and says "eh let it go"
Does he not read my blog?! I do not LET THINGS GO....I hang on to them, I gnash them between my teeth, I put them on the shelf where I keep the stuff I cannot let go of and more often than not I take them back down and beat the heck out of them.
I digress.
Instead of "letting go of it" (psh) I instead took my iphone out (oh who am I kidding, it was already out on the table). I then proceed to explain my plan to Jon. The plan was that every time the inconsiderate pair would whiiiir DING I would then use my fart machine ap. So every time a bell dings I would hit the fart button. Jon called my bluff. So I turned the volume up as loud as it would go on my phone and proceeded to carry out the plan.
I swear "I" farted at least ten times and those guys still didn't get the hint that I was trying to annoy them as much as they were annoying me. The nerve of some people.
P.S. Frankie got fixed today...I was going to write a "ball blog" to mark this occasion but my mom kindly asked me to refrain from doing so.

duuuuuuuude, i totally have the fart app too!!!! k, those boys would be so annoying ps.
hope little frankie's doing ok ... poor little guy. :(
OMG! I would have soooo wanted to walk over there and ask those guys to turn their phones on silent. I am dying though that you tried to out-annoy them by using your fart app. Classic.
Hope Frankie is doing ok since his "snip snip." I believe a ball blog is still in order. :-)
I love that you have a fart app on your phone. You are way cool in my book.
Hahahaaaaaaa, you win! That's awesome!
I hope Frankie is doing well!!!
Hi! I just stumbled upon your blog and I gotta tell you...THANK YOU for writing about something other than celebs and mommy stuff! Ha!
I, too, am INSANELY annoyed by most people's cell phone etiquette (or rather, lack thereof). And that fart app (iFart??) is hilarious too! My fiance has that and out nieces and nephews get a kick out of it!
Happy blogging!
That totally would've had the hubs loudly talking about some noise buzzing in his ear and asking me if I heard that, if it was bothering me as much as it was bothering him. He ALWAYS does that kind of stuff. :)
This is pretty brilliant. And I also do not let things go.
Haha and this is exactly why we at the Trifecta NEED an iphone. A fart machine app?! How fab! Love your sense of vigilance!
