Convesations Heard in the Orthodontist's Waiting Room

It seems like I spent half my life in the waiting room of the orthodontist. During those minutes and hours of waiting I over hear (thanks to very loud and not very discreet talking and the annoying use of cell phones) many conversations. So I thought I would share them with you on an ongoing basis, so perhaps if you are one of those people who talk loudly in a waiting room, you might be compelled to think twice.

There was the time a woman talked for over a half hour on her cell phone as if it were her personal office. When she finally hung up you could see the rest of the waiting room parents relax their shoulders in relief. When her phone rang and she picked it up within seconds of hanging up, two women across from started to snicker like two teenage girls. I think we bonded.

Today's topic I didn't want to hear - toilets and the need to flush them and the brands that don't cut it. Sadly this was a conversation between two mother's in the waiting room, so I had the privilege of hearing both sides.
