18. ha. Years ago I saw a woman talking to herself in the grocery store.

She was carrying on an extended discussion with herself, or so I thought.
I was positive I was seeing someone experiencing a psychotic episode.
And was alarmed. Then I realized she had her phone connected to some sort of
wire in her ear.

I had to ask my daughter what the hell I had been seeing and she told me
about ear buds, etc.

I just heard a funny story from a clerk in a store.
She told she went shopping with her 80 yr old father and paid the bill
with her phone via Apple Pay. He thought she was just walking out of the store
with their groceries and not paying. He started screaming at her for being dishonest, etc.
Telling her to pay the damn bill. She was trying to explain she had paid with her phone
and he didn't believe you could do that. Poor Dad.
