Why We Hate People

On a crowded urban commuter subway train this morning:
Guy on his cell phone: "He gave me antibiotics."

(pause)

Guy again (louder): "Antibiotics, he gave me antibiotics!"

(pause)

Same guy (Even louder - screaming magically makes up for poor reception): ANTIBIOTOCS, HE GAVE ME ANTIBIOTICS - ONE EACH DAY FOR A WEEK!"

(loses reception -- dials back)

Same guy again: "No, he just said the antibiotics would take care of whatever it is."
