Phones…WTH!

Damn was walking to the loo this afternoon at the train station, due to me gold fish bladder when nature whispers I answer and this happens a lot just after a bumpy bus ride.  Any who saw this chick on her crack berry walks past the ladies room right up to the men’s room, starts opening the door realizes she’s walking into a sausage fest and gets this look on her face like it’s someone else’s fault!
