Your yogurt comment reminds me of a psychiatrist I used to know. She kept "Activa" brand yogurt in her office and CONSTANTLY offered it to anyone who would listen, but otherwise kept strangely mute. I remember her saying, "It's Activa, do you want it? It's Active!" over and over almost as if she may have been OCD or slightly Autistic? I don't know....It takes all kinds, I guess.  | | This user would like to thank Doc.Holliday for this useful post: | |

That's much more satisfying than eating it right away and then being sorry for three hours because he's eaten it already  | | This user would like to thank Urs Max for this useful post: | |

Psychiatrists, psychologists, doctors, dentists, or for that matter plumbers, cleaners, tailors or cleaners who "keep strangely mute".

Whoever thought that would be a good feature to include on a cell phone needs to taken outside, hung by his toes, and made to listen to a dozen phones going click-click-click for a few hours. Gaaaahhhhh, that's annoying!

Stop scraping - there's none left. | | | | | Get an app for your phone which listens for the scrape scrape scrape sound and makes some suitably rude or annoying noise in response. It won't stop the scrape scrape scrape, but you will enjoy it more when it happens.
