Are they really insane, or just...

...talking on a cell phone with one of those invisibly small ear-bud headset things?

It's getting harder and harder to separate who is talking to someone, and who is talking to himself.

How do we tell?
Maybe there's a market for a little box that detects the phone signal and flashes "OK to approach this individual" on its tiny little screen.

Funny you should bring this one up - I saw a lady in line at the grocery store today talking to herself and I couldn't see the ear piece, think she was a nut.

Useful lines for people using those things that are talking too loud, or invading your "personal space":

"Are you Judy/John, my Time-Life operator?"
"I'll take a #3, super-sized, with a Coke."
"BUY, SELL, BUY, SELL!"

Or if they have a keychain with the vehicle make/model visible:

"If anyone here owns a (insert car make here), I think it's being towed."

Hey it'll be nice to have some company to talk to in the nut ward at County for a change. Everybody here is nuts!

hehehe, I actually contemplated a while back whether I should make sure my earpiece was on the left side of my head as I didn't want the person next to me in traffic thinking I was some kind of nut. however, I soon remembered that I only drive in the hammer lane. problem solved

Is there anything more irritating than these inconsiderate a-holes walking around with the walkie-talkie type cellphones? Ya know what, I REALLY don't want to hear a conversation about your boring freakin' life while I'm standing in line at the grocery store!!!!! Jeeeeezus! Get a clue.

Cegerer,

That's the opportunity to bust in with something "more interesting" for their conversation like:

"Sir, get off the phone, put down the beer, and get OUTTA THE CAR!"
or
"Who here ordered the dancing girl?"
or
"Hey you've got toilet paper hanging off your belt"

how about:

"excuse me, your gonorrhea test results are back"

"yes, that leather studded collar looks great on you"

"your ex-life partner is on the other line..shall I take a message?"

"just make out the check to SurferGirl Outcalls"

"how did you get a coke bottle stuck up *there*?"
