What? Otter, man if you were run over by a bus I'd be profoundly devastated. My life would come to a complete halt and I would never be able to post on the Planet again....

:D

Aha! I see you're one of them.

ROFL

I think I am a grumpy old hippie now...dammit.

Dude, I'm just tired of ignorant saps who feel the world revolves around their tiny little souls and the rest of us have to just "deal with it."

BS- if you illuminate the space around me with your constant cell phone use in a theater- expect me to break the thing at your feet.

That's because you hang with nerds; popular people get two or three calls an hour.

No, no...I insist that you continue to pursue a happy life with the planet being a part of it.

Actually, once again I didn't convey out my statement as well as I should have.

I'm not referring to people who are on call for work that actually need a phone but the people who think they need to be accessable to everyone in their social circle.

Either way, cell phones are still going to be abused. A minor annoyance when it happens ever once in awhile, unfortunatly its the norm for any public area today. It's not a minor annoyance, it's a royal pain in the ass.

I took the wife to a movie 3 months ago, 1st time in 10 years or close to it.

I didn't think about turning my phone off.... sure enough, the phone rang about 1/2 way into the movie.

Funny, I had this feeling people were looking at me ?

What's up with that ? ROFL


I answered it, it was one on our kids, I quickly told them I would call them back if it wasn't an emergency and turned the phone off. The more I tought about it, we had it on for an emergency call only, the kids lets us down.

Many people want there phones on for emergency purposes.

Too many times people call to chit chat.... they should be considerate of others and only call if in an emergency. At least take into the fact of where one is and what they are doing before they call.

This is the point I was making, but left out a sentence... I think they definately need to post information in plain view that there is a jammer being utilized on the premises...

I'd go for a sign that simply said, "Please be courteous to other patrons." That should cover it.

Nah, too many A-Holes in the world who don't care/can't read.

Yeah, you are right. Da'd gum it.

A question to all of those that say it needs to be on for emergencies:

Have you ever seen anyone at a movie theatre get a phone call and go RUNNING out of the building?

I guess those calls weren't that important then.

And yet another vote for the jammers!

I would like to comment that ususally when they are on "Silent" Sometimes people have them on viabrate and it would mess me up on those hard hard hard Missouri Western tests *sarcasim*

On the flip side...earlier this summer, I remember watching people trying to use their cell phones at a Busch Nascar race while walking alongside the track.

Talk about a one sided conversation...hopefully, they werent getting notified of an injured child or other life or death situation.

My grandma who raised us grandchildren was getting laid to rest last year when I forgot to turn my cell phone off, the people almost dropped her when a monotone Back DAT Azz up ringtone was ringing, at first i thought they were going to dance. Nope they were pissed

Man, I must be sick....

The first time I read this, I thought your grandmother was getting laid.

Curiosity got the better of me. Imagine walking around with one of these going all day...be kinda cool.

Well...ok, but that wasnt my point. Rather it further illustrated the cluelessness of whether or not that moment in time was the most appropriate time to attempt to conduct a phone conversation.
