The Call Of The Wildly Important Man

, , , , , | Friendly | June 2, 2026

My friend and I are in a small and usually chill café. Some guy with earphones is talking ‘business’ loudly on his phone. He sounds obnoxious enough as it is, shouting about profit margins and making sure everyone knew that he “dealt with billions every day!” to make him sound like a bigshot. 

Having had enough, my friend turns around, taps him on the shoulder, and says:

Friend: “Should we all contribute ideas, or are you the only one invited to this meeting?”

The business guy looks my friend up and down, wisely chooses not to pick a fight with an old gal who has seen some s***, and takes the call outside. He does not come back for his untouched drink.
