Seriously, why all the typing when I am checking in at the airport or hospital? Anyone know?

They're working on their novel. It's a vicious satire. You just gave them an idea.

At the hospital, they're Googling your symptoms.

At the airport, they're Googling your name.

• "Hey, Linda? Don't look, but the guy in front of me is kinda hot!"
• "Ooh, definitely. I so wish we could just drag him into the nearest storage room and blow his mind."
• "Hell, yeah. I wish."

At least that's what I hope they think.

Since you can't see the screen, they're really just typing nonsense in notepad for 97% of the time.

You know the people who are always in your local IRC channel, no matter what time it is?

Mystery solved.

It always makes me nervous that their screen says something terrible about me that won't let me on the plane.

They're busy IMing.
