The joys of technology

[amelia_petkova]

Setting: Amelia's dorm room, this afternoon

Cell phone: *ring ring*
Amelia: Hello?
Man: Is (mumble mumble Keith?) there?
Amelia: There's no one by that name here.
Man: That's been happening a lot lately.
Amelia: Well, there's no one--
Man: (mumble mumble) If that fucker's been lying again I'll go to Kansas and break his fucking face and his fucking family.
Amelia: Good--
Cell phone: *click*
Amelia: --luck with that.

Behold the global communications network - allowing people to be assholes at the speed of light.



I am, however, noticing that you have a cell phone. Back when I was in college, pretty much nobody had a cell phone, and in fact the land lines in the dorms had uber-expensive long distance.
