Some people have no common sense, or at least no awareness of their surroundings.
Earlier tonight, the guy in the restaurant seated next to us read his credit card number, expiration date, and three digit code out loud to someone on his cell phone so he could buy something that just couldn't wait. What got my attention is when I heard him say quite loudly, "Yeah, I have a credit card. The number is ...."
I thought, "Surely, nobody is that unaware of what they are doing. He can't just be doing this in public." But he continued... "The expiration date is... The three digit code? Hold on. It's ...."
I sincerely hope nobody copied it down. But I know there were many that could hear him, as he wasn't being quiet. He wasn't looking at anyone either. It's like he was oblivious that others might be in the room with him.
But if someone was going to steal his data, they had multiple chances, because whoever was on the other end obviously asked him to repeat it, and he did.
Loudly.
All the best,
Glenn
