Pigeon of Discontent: Cell Phones Make Me Crazy

Each week, I post a video about some Pigeon of Discontent raised by a reader. Because, as much as we try to find the Bluebird of Happiness, we're also plagued by those small but pesky Pigeons of Discontent.

I thought of a line from Montaigne that's even more apt for this Pigeon of Discontent than the quotation included in the video: "There is really no greater or more persistent folly…than to be excited and annoyed by the fatuities of the world." I think people's cell phone conversations fall into this category.
