Dear everyone ever,

When I ask you if the wireless is functioning on your computer, it is not because I want to hear about your previous experiences with free wireless networks. I am, in fact, already aware that free wireless networks often go down. I know this because I have been outside of my apartment a few times over the course of my life, as unlikely as that apparently seems to you. I do not care about your political views on coffeeshops, or how the network also went down last week when you were here, or this other coffeeshop where the wireless network never goes down. The only reason I am even speaking to you is because if your wireless is also malfunctioning, I can talk the employees into resetting the network and fixing the problem, and if your wireless is not malfunctioning, it's a problem with my own computer that I can fix in other ways. THAT IS ALL I WANT TO HEAR. Yes or no, people. Say yes or no, and then shut up. Quit trying to bestow upon me the vast accumulation of your wireless life history. I suspect it's not much, or you wouldn't be giving me random facts instead of telling me what I need to know.

No love,
Brigdh

PS: HEADPHONES MEAN DON'T TALK TO ME. Jesus, where were you brought up? Quit sticking your hand in my face to get my attention for such eloquent statements as, "It's still down. I'm going to try again, okay? It hasn't done anything different, but I'm going to try!"
