NOISE POLLUTION ON SUNSET STRIP ...!

                             

Ladies and Gentlemen, meet "Gabbie," the Omnipresent Orator of Sunset Strip.  Every day at lunchtime, Gabbie sets up shop at the quaint sidewalk cafe near my office, where she specializes in gabbing up a storm on her cell phone in a voice so loud, so nasal and so irritating you would think she took elocution lessons from Fran Drescher.   Yesterday, for example, she seemed intent on calling everyone in her wide circle of friends for advice regarding what to get her boyfriend for his birthday.  I took advantage of a break in the conversation to offer some advice.  "I couldn't help overhearing that you're looking for a special gift," I said.  "Might I suggest a pair of Noise-Canceling Headphones ...?"

  2. Try pouring her coffee in her bag and then adding her cigarette. That will shut her up for a bit!

  11. I know somebody like this, who holds thier phone up in thier the air and proclaims in a very loud voice, 'ohh a text!,' then randomly phones people up to see what they are doing so it looks like they have a lot of friends, when actually they lead a sad, pathetic life.Ps maybe she could get her boyfriend a man bag, big enough to fir her and her huge gob in it, lol!! Beckie x Im sure she is a very nice person.(incase ahe reads this)
