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.
