More public smoking there than here
Delete1. Yes. Sometimes I'd like to live in the US and be able to carry a gun. This speaking on a phone in public is so unacceptable in so many countries.
ReplyDelete2. Generally not, except for those with psych issues who like to cycle or walk around carrying a boom box, or a modern loud Bluetooth speaker connected to their phones.
3. No but we have found some dropped party drugs.
4. Minimal public smoking. Our tobacco smoking rate is so low, but vaping is another story.
5. Oh yes, everyone is perfectly pleasant in a 30 second lift trip. Most people say hello in the lift but if they don't lift their eyes from their phones in the lift, I don't say hello.
I didn't ask about phone behaviour in public.
Delete"1: Do people talk in public on phones where you live?" I'm confused...
Delete1: Do people talk in public on phones where you live? Yes. So annoying. The worst is when there's a disagreement between boyfriend and girlfriend or spouse and the f-bomb is flying.
ReplyDelete2: Do people play music in public without headphones where you live? Sometimes.
3: Do you smell pot smoke in public places where you live? Yes.

Very little vaping here.

Sounds like a nice place
Delete1. Yes. I mean, who actually uses the phone to TALK to people???
ReplyDelete2. Very very rarely.
3. A lot. And that was before it was legal in Ohio. All bets are off now.
4. Oh yeah. It's Ohio.
5. In our 'hood we have great folks. Overall, I think Cleveland has mostly good meaning peeps.
There are some wonderful people from Cleveland and Solon
Delete1. People have been talking on phones in public since the suckers were invented. It's annoying as hell!
ReplyDelete2. Only in cars driven by future deaf youngsters.
3. I smell pot whenever I forget and leave something cooking on the stove. Is that what you mean?
4. I don't really do public, but I've run into one or two idiots. I always cough.
5. Most people are nice to me and Balder Half. The Palestinian couple across the street have a different experience. They asked us to keep an eye on their house while they went to visit family in Arizona. Nobody else would give them the time of day. He figured since we are Black, we would understand. We do. Such friendly people, too. They give us bags of fruit from their trees. The little oranges are great. I have no idea what to do with persimmons though.
I'd have to Google what to do with a persimmon
