Excellent. Hope non-French speakers aren't too frustrated. "Je m'en fous" means "I don't give a ****"

seems like the rude word software not multi lingual?

Possibly not. I felt tempted to test it out with the celebrated insult which former French footballer Nicolas Anelka was reported to have launched at his manager during Euro 2012. But I decided, perhaps not: don't want to offend francophone ears on this forum! The alleged words (bowdlerised), which went viral, were va te faire *******, sale fils de ****!

Indeed! Brings back memories! The grossly offensive words directed at Yours Truly, back in 2011, from Another Place, were indeed embedded in a picture - although I suspect that the real reason was to avoid search bots picking them up. There is - or at least was - no swear-word filter on the aforesaid Other Place, and the moderation was somewhat ineffectual.

Unlike this place.

not a joke but the answer is funny but true.

you used to be able to tell sane from mad people in the high street, as the mad ones would rant in public. Now it seems since the smart phone it is getting harder as many walk around talking into their phone.

so the question is how do you tell a sane phone user now from the afore mentioned mad people?

I don't know, but maybe there's an answer to that - at least in Brighton - for those crossing a road. There are loads of signs like this one, embedded in the pavements at busy junctions:

So perhaps all phone users in the street are deemed to be mad - according to B&H.....

well the smart phone users are usually having a conversation so stop now and then to listen, but the mad people just rant and rant without pause. Though was in my local lidls and there was this guy just inside where the trollys are kept ranting and ranting into his phone, no pause no nothing. So maybe he thinks the phone will mean he dont get seen as a nut job, but really was?

You've replied to yourself. Deliberate or did you forget to switch to your alternate persona?

Worse thing these days is most folk use their phones hands free so if you're not careful you can think they're talking to you - especially if they're unthinkingly staring in your general direction.

Or else:

Traveling down the interstate & needing to use the restroom, I stopped at a rest area. I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice from the other stall saying: "Hi, how are you?"

I'm not the type to start a conversation in the restroom and I don't know what got into me, but I answered, somewhat embarrassed, "Doin' just fine!"

And the other person says: "So what are you up to?"

What kind of question is that? At that point, I'm thinking this is too bizarre so I say: "Uhhh, I'm like you, just traveling!"

At this point I am just trying to get out as fast as I can when I hear another question. "Can I come over?"

Ok, this question is just too weird for me but I figured I could just be polite and end the conversation. I tell them "No..I'm a little busy right now!!!"

Then I hear the person say nervously... "Listen, I'll have to call you back. There's an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions
