The girl with the cell phone

It never ceases to amaze me.  In fact, everytime I get on the "L", I almost look forward to her - the girl with the cell phone.  I'm sure you know who I'm talking about.  I'm sure you see her too.  She's usually the one that makes a dramatic entrance on the train or the bus.  Not with the flashy Louis Vuitton nor the SATC type outfit but the two blinging tools that makes the whole world stop to say "Wow", "Oh my", "Really" - her loud voice and her cell phone.

The girl with the cell phone.  Yup, the ride is never dull when she's around.  She makes quite an impression you can't help but be aware of her presence.  That and the multitude layers of drama she brings. 

One day, she'll be talking about her loser boyfriend and hear her complain about how she has to be the one to be feeding his "beep".  Heaven knows why she still stays with him but in fifteen minutes you feel you know "Loser" too.  In fact, you would not know who to defend- him for her open unabashed name calling or her for his low life user ways.  And boy, does she describe him in details with very, and I mean,  very colorful adjectives.  You would think that Loser's first name is "Puckin" or is it "Pumpkin"? Sorry the loud train must be drowning out that word. 

Next time you see her, she'll be talking about how good she is at her job and that she deserves to be the manager.  Again with colorful adjectives.  When the sound of the train gets louder she gets louder too.   Amazing how the girl with the cell phone can hear over the noise and manage to communicate.  The more amazing thing is how the person on the other line can hear over that.  It makes me wonder if there really is another person at the other end.  Or if the people I talk to are just plain deaf.  Or maybe I just don't talk loud enough?

The girl with the cell phone is a chameleon.  She represents any race, any gender, any age, and any size.  But one thing never changes, it's the drama she brings with her.

After all, she's the girl with the cell phone.
