It’s crazy how our lives become more and more segregated every day. No one talks to anyone anymore.

We text other friends while we hang out with our friends who are texting their other friends.

WTF.

I was going to say the same thing but sadly the people behind you can just look over your shoulder and you’d never know. For an office or when youre against a wall though, I agree.

or MAYBE you shouldnt be doing things that require this type of privacy in a public space…

this is so true, but maybe hes watching porn or something. Or posting on here.

Some of the screwed up nws stuff that posts on here, could make some middle aged women, glare at you and sigh for an entire 8 hr flight, that would suck.

Look at the seams around the laptop- that definitely looks custom made rather than just being a sweater. Wonder what he’s looking at- highly confidential business info or porn? I vote porn.
