The other day
on my way back from work I passed a lad standing on the pavement with his bewildered dog, having a shouty argument into his phone. I walked past and a little further on around the corner, past the big bed and breakfast house, I saw a girl having a shouty argument into her phone. They were out of earshot of one another but for a moment I could hear both of them and noticed that they were actually arguing with each other. I stopped for a little while to try and make out what the argument was about. I wanted to go up to the girl and tell her that if she walked 100 yards down the road they could argue face to face, if she wanted. And then I wondered whether perhaps one of them had lied to the other about where they were, having no idea that one bed and breakfast house was all that separated them. Eventually I lost interest and went home. Perhaps the disagreement escalated until they were shouting loud enough to realise that they didn't actually need their phones for the argument.
