Mobile rudeness

While browsing the magazine section in the bookstore today, I heard a peculiar laugh. A few seconds later, a slightly different peculiar laugh but enough alike the first laugh for me to realize it was the same person. Then a few moments later, another odd laugh by the same person. And by odd and peculiar, I mean this person’s laughs were really pretty loud, obnoxious and disruptive in the quiet of the magazine-browsing space, like someone portraying a horrible laugher in a comedy skit. But whatever, she’s having fun with a witty friend or something.

After a couple more minutes, I turn to walk out of the magazine section and I catch the laugher in action and she’s cackling at something she’s listening to *on her headphones*. I just about throttled her.
