rheasilviaA little while ago, I was sitting in my favorite tea house, happily drinking tea and reading Guardian fanfic on my tablet, as you do. The woman at a neighboring table kept casting annoyed glances my way without ever quite looking at me. I wondered about this briefly and then ignored it.
Eventually, she came up to me and spoke thusly: "Excuse me, but your cell phone has been in my back this whole time. Are you going to be done using it soon?"
I blinked at her and eloquently replied: "... what now? My cell phone is doing what...?"
Upon which she decided that further conversation was useless, disgustedly snorted and shook her head, and sped to the counter to pay. She hastily collected her things and rushed out the door, never deigning to look at me again and leaving her tea half-drunk.
The waitress and I theorize that she was bothered by the radiation/bad cell phone vibes/whatnot coming off of my tablet. Incidentally, my tablet was on airplane mode, so it wasn't sending anything into her back. Also, the tea house has wifi (which I assume she was blissfully ignorant of). Also, good luck escaping cell phone radiation anywhere in this city...
