public transportation....

Scene: Typing away in Word on commuter rail.

Guy Next To Me (GNTM): "is that the comment feature in word?"
Me: "yeah"
GNTM: 'I'm pretty good at excel. I can freeze panes and hide columns."
Me: *blink*
Me: *blink*
Me: "Yeah, those are some pretty neat features in excel. hey, if I have time after i finish working on this document we can discuss it." (never planning on finishing during the train ride)
GNTM: "oh sorry to bother you"

You have to understand why I *blinked*. To me, freezing panes and hiding columns is akin someone saying to a 15 year veteran software developer "I'm pretty good at coding. I can write HelloWorld."
