Adventures of Plan B in DC: Inside Voices People

Give me some good beer, conversation, friends, and music and there is little that will bother me. I try to treat others as I wish to be treated and when I don't, I like to think I learn from my mistakes. I believe most people are trustworthy until proven otherwise. I'm a conversational snob. I have little tolerance for stupidity or rudeness. Common courtesy is one of the best traits one can have. I believe there is conversation that is inappropriate for the dinner table. I love running into people I used to know, but am always happier if I look cute when it happens. I think there would be much less ruckus in the world if brunch were a daily offering.

Inside Voices People

I have a beef with people who talk loudly in public places. This includes metro trains, buses, movie theaters and offices. Please don't bark to your companion or into your cell phone/ blackberry phone/ speaker phone or whichever device you are using. No one wants to know every detail of your life. Trust me. No one wants to be stuck on a metro train listening to your conversation. Trust me. No one wants to be trapped in their office unable to concentrate on their work because you are using a speaker phone for EVERY SINGLE CALL you make. Trust me. No one paid almost $10 to sit in a movie theater and hear you tell someone you're going to pick up grandma later. Trust me. It's just rude and inconsiderate.....Trust me.
