Are you talking to me?

Sometimes I feel like people should be required to have a license to appear in public.

The other day I was shopping and all of the sudden this person standing a few feet away started talking in a rather loud voice. I assumed she was talking to me since I was the only other person in the isle. I looked at her and she gave me this blank look.

I said "I am sorry?" She just stared at me. Then started talking again. I decided to return the favor and just returned the blank stare. It took me a few minutes before I realized that she was talking on a Bluetooth headset. She could have avoided the entire incident by lowering her voice, or even just giving me hand signals that she was on the phone. Instead she just gave me this goofy stare.

Sometimes I wonder what it must be like to live in the a world where I am the only person that matters and everyone else around me is meaningless.
