I do not understand why people insist on wearing watches that beep every hour.
On my flight from Kenya, which was an overnight flight, I was very happy, because there was nobody sitting next to me. But, I soon realized that the man on the other side of that empty seat apparently doesn’t know how to tell time.
He can’t look at his watch to see what time it is. He must be reminded every hour with an annoying “beep, beep”. Why in the world? Does he need it beep to remind him to look at his watch? Does he forget that time is passing unless he is reminded of it every hour? Or does he just want to annoy the living crap out of the girl next to him who is trying to get some sleep?
It’s hard enough to get sleep in a tiny little seat where you can’t extend your legs, and your head flops around. But inevitably as soon as I was about to nod off, I hear “beep, beep”. Argh….
Can anybody tell me why people insist on beeping watches?
My name is Rhonda. I am blessed to live in a beautiful place out in the country with my wonderful husband. In addition to our "real" jobs (I work at a garden center and he is a teacher), we have a small farm where we raise vegetables, eggs and chickens to sell at local Farmer's Markets. We are currently fixing up/remodeling a house into which we will soon be moving...hopefully. In my free time, (what is that?) I enjoy traveling, cooking, crafty projects, reading and watching the sun set on the hills.
I used to set my watch to do that; I don’t remember why, now.
There is NO good reason.
Ive never set my watch to do that.. but now.. when we finally meet.. I’ll make sure my watch IS set to do that.. hehehe..
WELCOME HOME!
I do it just so I can continue to ensure that my watch is in working order.
And welcome home, my friend.
Thanks guys. You are a big help!
And I’m not quite home yet. A week to go.
I think that very few people are even smart enough or have the energy to change it, but they won’t admit it. Some folks cant hear or they are lonely. Me, I prefer the good old hands.
I’ve been too lazy to change my watch so it won’t beep. It’s not like I actually wear it….
Rhonda, try a 14 hour flight with a crying baby on board. Sleep? HA!
Hey Rhonda- next time just start singing “As we go on…we remember” every hour to him. (I heard that song the other day and thought of you and laughed)
