Laughing at themselves, to themselves

Opwats. You've seen it, you've been effected by it, you've read articles written under its influence, hell you might even have it.

Old People With Advanced Technology Syndrome. Opwats

Common examples:

1. That guy wearing his bluetooth in church whose most urgent possible phone call would probably be coming from his wife (sitting next to him) making sure he doesn't forget to pick up milk on the way home

2. a txt msg frm ur mum tht luks like ths n dsnt rly say nething imprtnt @ all n is less efcnt bcuz its hardr 2 read neway damit

3. a professor trying to maximize youtube

4. using realplayer by choice

5. being overly impressed by apple products

6. conspicuously entering the simplest meeting into your planner/pda/calendar instead of hiding that weakness like a decent person

7. way too much public information from people over 30 on facebook who apparently can't help but check the shiny "reply to all" button

etc.

Opwats, a tragedy as annoying as it is deadly (people who can barely work a cell phone now trying to sync blueteeth while driving sounds like a great idea...)
