Setting the world to rights

Four smartly dressed women sat in the garden with their coffees.
I was clearing tables around them and in the few minutes spent in earshot they had identified several things wrong with society:

1. The queues in M&S cafes.
2. Mothers who let their children eat things out of the trolley as they go around Asda.
3. Mobile phones.

The main worry about number 3 is, from what I could gather, that young people can't be separated from them and are always staring at them.
Sometimes young mothers who do this are the same people involved in number 2.
From inside one of their handbags a phone was heard to ring.
It rang and rang as the owner, increasingly desperate, tried to find it.
She couldn't.
It stopped ringing.
Probably for the best.
