The importance of mobile communication

325 words

Put positively, being in the confined space that is a train coach gives you the opportunity to eavesdrop on other people's mobile phone conversations. Like this one:

Meeep meep eep did dud dumidum meep meep meep dim dim dim beep eep did dud ... meeep meep eep did dud dumidum meep meep meep dim dim dim beep ee... phone's owner starts looking for the phone p did dud ... meeep meep eep did dud dumidum meep meep meep dim dim dim beep eep did dud ... meeep meep eep did dud dumidum meep meep meep di...
Hi! ...
No, I'm on the train ...
I reached it all right. No problems there. You just need to get to the proper platform. You know it's actually a bit trickier, as I had to find the right coach...
Right...
Hm ...
Aha ...
But I managed fine, no problem ...
Actually we are delayed a bit ...
About fifteen minutes ...
No, I think they might make up for it until Munich ...
So you're going to pick me up ...
Hello? Are you there?
Oh you are ...
strange, we were just going through a tunnel and I thought ...
Are you there? Sigh. ...
Meeep meep eep did dud dumidum meep meep me
Hi – Strange, the connection dropped ...
But we had already left the tunnel ...
You never know these things ...
Yes, I got on the train all right and we're having a delay...
But I think I'll be there on time.
And you're going to come and pick me up as we discussed earlier.
Yeah, platform six ...
But you better check again when you're there ...
You never know with these delays.
You still there?
The conductor said the delay was due to technical problems ...
Whatever that means.
No, it looks safe.
Don't worry.
I'll see you later then.
Bye.

Makes me wonder how humanity survived without mobile communication.
