Watches

And really, now: short of shooting someone in the face with a shotgun at close range, is there really any more significant way to show disrespect for one's fellow man than by not wearing a watch?

We have some vendors at work who show up near-daily, and one always comes in and, as he signs in, says "Uh...what time is it?" and then cranes his neck around to seek out the clock on the wall.

Don't EVEN start with me about cell-phones-as-clocks, either. "Well, I can tell time with my phone..." BULLSHIT!

How in the hell does one even arrive on time someplace without a watch? How does one ascertain exactly what time that heavy gust of wind blew through without wearing a watch to bed? Do we, as a species, care so little about others that we think it really doesn't matter that another person is left waiting aimlessly somewhere for us to pick them up, say [and maybe without something to read, which is, of course, inexcusable on the pickup-ee's part, but it nevertheless happens all the time], all because we're too stupid to wear a watch, which, I hasten to add, come in a variety of nice shapes and designs that can really add some snap to a persona???

For god's sake!
