The Call

We're deviating from our list roundup. This happened yesterday while I was on the commute to town. If ever you've heard of The Call by the Backstreet Boys, that's where the title's from. Although I'm pretty sure this call was way different. I was at the back so at first I thought that she was talking to the person seated next to her. When the girl went down, I realized that the other girl was talking loudly on the phone.

From how it sounded, things had escalated to the point that the girl was already too suspicious of the guy, or too hurt to listen to reason. The lines went like this:

"It took you an HOUR to eat? IMPOSSIBLE."
"No, I don't believe that."
"No, you're the one saying that."
"So whatever you did is more important than me?"
"IT'S MORE IMPORTANT THAN ME!?!"

Then she put down the phone. I had half the mind to run after her and tell her not to take such personal calls in public. It was embarrassing. Then again, I didn't know the whole story to make a specific conclusion. What struck me were the facts that she was yelling at her boyfriend through the phone in public, and comparing whatever it was to her. I mean, sure, you can be important in a person's life, but asserting it in that manner of speaking made her look childish and unreasonable. I wouldn't really know how it is, but I know for a fact that when you're fighting with someone, you don't make a scene. Well maybe she was that fed up with him, but who knows. Who knows who's on the right part of the spectrum with these things? I hope things ended up well with them in the long run though, and maybe the guy really had a good explanation to why he wasn't there when the girl needed him.

As much as we talk about cannibal bunnies here, I still want to point out that sometimes, emotions get the best of us, even if it's with things that we don't mean. Things could still have ended for the better with them, and we're not the ones to pass a verdict to a complete stranger. Just my two-cents. =)
