I proved an important theory today. Having a conversation at 150 yards can indeed be just as awkward as a conversation from 3 feet away. I often look down from my apartment building and spot people I know. I find it amusing to call them on their cell phones and notify them that I am judging them from an elevated position. Then, I tell them exactly how and why I am judging them and hang up. Sometimes I keep it short and sweet. If you know me, and are walking past my building, it is not uncommon to receive a phone call and hear “Nice pants loser. Ya’ll just got judged!… CLICK”. If you quickly turn around and look up at my floor, you might catch me ducking behind a sofa. Anyway, today one of my friends managed to pull me into an awkward conversation about network cards before I was able to judge them. The conversation was fine but it was made awkward by the fact that the person I called stopped and looked at me while having the conversation from 150 yards away. It’s very odd to make extreme gestures like you are yelling to someone far away but then be talking in a normal voice. The entire experience was terrifying. I’d like to try it again someday. Finally, incase you were wondering, I actually yell the work “CLICK!” before I hang up a phone.
