So, WordPress just published my post without the text. Then, erased all content from it. So here I am retyping it.
My parents are in Florida. And I am in Queens. My life is luxurious inside the Dunkin Donuts on Queens Boulevard where I come to escape to my inner world where I am a published writer among other things. My driver waits for me outside lest I ding the bell and he is summoned to drive me to Bloomingdales for a shopping break to alleviate my mental fatigue from too much expressed genius. I long for nothing. Not a Chanel suit. Not a Clarins beauty product. Not even a Boston Kreme. This world is starting to feel quite good…until the asshole two chairs down starts blabbing into her cell phone. She is going on ad nauseum about the contents of her spiced rum dessert – like NOBODY else is listening – and doing so in an unforgettable Queens/Spanglish dialect. Why do I need to hear this??
I can no longer dwell in my fantasy world. I must only try to control my temper. And now I remember why Angry Gladys was created. To channel my passive aggressiveness into something more constructive.
I recall the time I tried to buy something at the store, but the cashier was too busy texting her friend to acknowledge my presence. This, and every single other time someone has spoken TOO LOUDLY on a cell phone next to me makes me feel DISSED. Like I’m not important enough to you to deserve some peace and quiet?
So, this Angry Gladys episode is for all of us out there affected by annoying cell phone users/texters and their ignorance. Please enjoy.

I so get this! I was at the gym the other day, and this woman was in the back stretch room, having the loudest, most inappropriate conversation about her family dynamic, i wanted to strangle her with her pony tail. soooo obnoxious!

That would have been a great image – you strangling her by the pony tail!

I feel your pain! I was in the gym today and a woman was walking around on the phone (in a face full of make up) complaining about people sweating. I was tempted to throw the weights at her. But I refrained!

I have to apologize for not commenting earlier. I first read the post, but can’t watch the video at work and so had to wait until I got home. Then I forgot. When I finally did read the post again and look at the video I laughed and thought, “Oh, I have to tell Myra how much I enjoyed this!” But, see, I have ADD. And, well, there were these links off to the side of other funny videos, and before I knew it I was watching blooper reels and “10 Best” and other videos of Big Bang Theory………. and I got distracted. It happens with ADD. But I did enjoy the post and thought the video hilarious! Thanks, Gladys, for the entertainment!

I did. I did, in fact, enjoy. That was hilarious.
LIRR is the worst for people on cell phones. (Ok, ok, so I was one of those people when I was 22 but these people are grown and have no excuse.) Hmm, you may just have inspired a post.

When Angry Gladys looks in the camera and says “You’re welcome” I cracked up. So funny. I think everyone who has a cell phone should be required to have a “Cell Phone Etiquette Licence”!

I’m going to ask a really really well..maybe not really but definitely silly question…but is that you as Gladys?? She’s my hero! I want to be as brave as her and actually do something about people that just make me wanna scream! (without hurting them) hehe
