you can't get people to wear a two dollar watch. what makes you think they'll buy these. I am so sick of lazy, rude people who will not buy a watch and are alwayse pestering me for the time. They can afford lap tops, the latest phones and ipods, but a two dollar watch is just to much so they are always asking others what time it is.

I don't own a two-dollar watch. I don't own any watch. I am a nanny, and wearing a watch in my line of work is simply impractical. However, I do not pester people about the time. I carry my cell phone, and check it when I want to know the time. I only ask when I don't have my cell for some reason, it's dead, or I'm talking on it. Sorry if I've offended you in the past. I'll be more careful next time about who I ask.

With your attitude, I'd be surprised if anyone would speak to you much less ask you for the time.

The last time I checked, the "latest" cell phones, even the ancient ones from a few months ago, give the time. Maybe these "rude" people are trying to find a way to talk to you. If you study history, you will discover that not so very long ago humans still interracted by a method known as speech, and some of these people actually seemed to enjoy human to human communication. Weird huh?
Try gvining the time to these rude people and maybe the next cool trend will be humans speaking to each other again, and with any luck in a polite, civil manner.
