I was on the Mississauga bus the other day. I was plugged into my droid Two young men got on at a stop and sat near me. They began to talk to each other, not in English. This really irritated me.
Why and what did that say about me?
I had no interest in their existence. None. No ill will or anything like that. Pure indifference. So I certainly had no interest in what they were talking about, only that they were louder than my music and broke my concentration with facebook.
When people who speak a language other than English in the GTA, there are so many English words thrown in you can almost understand them. So you can't help but listen to them!
(I know about 25 years ago one winter my hat was being made fun of in Italian).
So anyway, I turned up my music to drown out the other passengers because what's worse than interacting with people on a social network than having people interrupt it.
