I’m THAT guy?
Maybe you’ve heard me talk about my Blackberry on the air before. I love my phone. I have everything on it. I don’t go as far as calling it my “Crackberry” because I can unplug every night when I get home and on the weekends with no issues.
One are of concern is when I come into work everyday. I have a habit of checking my Blackberry for new e-mails as I walk down the steps from the parking garage.
My heads down, and I may walk a bit slower as to not fall down a flight of stairs. Well, today I became “that guy”. I never realized that my e-mail checking habit can potentially slow down members of our society from starting their miserable day.
I got to the bottom of the stairs today and the guy behind me rushes by me and threw an obscenity under his breath my way.
Wha, what? Really? I slowed you down to the point where you have to voice your displeasure with me under your breath? Oh, and this guy had a greezy pony tail. Like I need this? Like I need a verbal lashing from Steven Seagal over here?

I do it too, but not as often, and never to the point where I have slowed other people down.
What you did is a almost a criminal offence in the Toronto subway system.
So annoying, don’t come here and do it or the cattle behind you will destroy you in their hurried rampage to where ever it is then need to get real fast.
Doddlers, I almost ran over an Asian woman today while walking off the subway.

You’re lucky he only said something under his breath. I would have spit at your feet.

At least you can turn your phone off at night. My boyfriend leaves it on the night stand and whenever that red light comes on it’s like a beacon. He can’t NOT check his phone.

That’s nothing, my ex-boyfriend checked it once while we were making love. You see why he’s my ex?

It’s alright Danger, I do it all the time- I’m connected at the hand to my blackberry. I have to for work, and on the weekends I NEED it in order to keep up with my friends/social calendar. It is my Crackberry though cuz I never turn it off.
