Pop Culture

In my travels lately, I've come to notice that people will use their cell phones anywhere to talk about anything. I've been privy to conversations about lawsuits, financial difficulties, and marital disputes, all thrown out in the open for any wandering ear to hear. It's not that I'm trying to listen. I try to tune out other conversations, but it's almost as if my ears (and I'm sure those of others) automatically tune in on words or phrases like, "lawsuit", "...divorcing him", "caught her in bed with..." or "I'm filing for bankruptcy".
