Cell phones in restaurants don't bother me unless the conversation is loud. If it is kept quiet, who cares. But man these NEXTEL bozos with their beeping walkie talkie crap annoy the hell out of me.
Isn't there a way they can quiet that down or is yelling back and forth the only way it works?
I agree..if it's quiet then it's no different than if they were talking to a person sitting with them. The height of cell phone rudeness that I've seen so far is when I'm at the airport. I've been in the bathroom and there will be a guy talking to someone while he's standing there taking care of business. Imagine how that must sound to the person on the other end !
It used to be that going shopping was one of life's pleasures, a way to get away from it all, wander, imagine, enjoy. But last week, a woman was on her cell phone going up and down the aisles apace with me, and the conversation was so depressing that I was tempted to say something rude like "I came here to get away from depressing problems, not to listen to them".
Every NEXTEL phone needs to be smashed with a hammer! These are quite possibly the most annoying device ever invented.
