Someone on campus gave the ‘human an ugly look because she was standing next to me using a hands-free phone and I asked if she was talking to me.

I’m sorry. But when we are the only two people in a ten-foot radius and you are babbling on, I’ve got to know – are you talking to yourself? Are you talking to me? Are you talking to yourself about killing me?

As usual the weatherhuman has a solution to the problem. Hands-free users should have some kind of signal that lets others know when they are talking on the phone, like a little sign that they hold up.

Or maybe they could just hold up a miniature telephone. Say, to the ear.

Tuesday’s forecast: If you’re going hands-free you better be using your hands for something constructive. That’s why the ‘human only wears its beer helmet while barbecuing and writing papers.
