"Conversation in the Metro"
A girl on her cellphone is having a ... conversation ... with someone on her cellphone.
It's a loud ... conversation. She's behind me as we walk through the tunnels:
Girl on cellphone: "I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "So I said, 'Marie, you ...' I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "And then ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "And Marcus, he just ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "So - Listen! I know, right?"
I probably should have been laughing to myself but, this kid had one of those voices that made me wince. It hurt.
So I picked up the pace and tried to discreetly up my stride in an effort to reduce her volume a little.
Girl on cellphone: "That was ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "Yeah, and ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "Marcus was there, too ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "And then Marcus, he ... I know, right?"
Girl on cellphone: "No. Really. I know, right?!"
It wasn't working.

Since my first attempt to avoid the droning one-sided-yakathon-screecher-conversation failed, I took a shortcut through a parking garage. Leaving the tunnel should have, A-squared plus B-squared equals, given me about 10 yards or better when I cut back into the tunnel by the Korean guy's store. I thought that would easily take care of Little Miss Monologue.
And -- it didn't work.
I must have slowed down or she sped up during my shortcut-trick.

I counted atleast 65 " likes " during a 5 minute phone conversation between my wife and stepdaughter. Yes, all the "likes" came from the 27 yr. old stepdaughter. When the conversation ended, I was like, I know right !
