I agree with Carrie. That scumbag with the cell phone was as rude as any Democrat who walks into the polling place on election day and votes to have big thuggish government confiscate even more tax money... from his neighbors. And from strangers he doesn’t even know. It’s the kind of behavior that is as selfish, boorish, and rude as human behavior can get.

I usually just go for “toilet sounds” when somebody in on their phone in the pot. A nice loud “why did I eat that circle-K burrito...thtptptptptpt” will generally get the job done.

I like those movie theaters that have devices for jamming cell phones.

Meh...

Now that’s how you do it...

A man learned the hard way that you don’t take a cell phone call when Princess Leia is preforming.

Preforming????

If my cell phone rings and I’m talking to someone, waiting at the cash register, or whatever I just let it ring. I really should try to remember how to turn off the ring on an incoming call though. (I put my hand over it to muffle it a bit).

Many times folks will look at me and say “Aren’t you going to answer that?”

“Uhm - no. I’m talking to you right now.”

It blows most people away!

“It is so obnoxious that someone thinks they are so important that they have to answer their cell phone at a show that other people paid to see and that they paid to see. And to do it twice, ” Warren said. ” I don’t know any one that important.”

My sentiments exACTly! Arrogance in the extreme - maybe equaled by the folks who talk on their bluetooth device in the elevator. I don’t care who you are, I’m not impressed with your wheeling and dealing, you just look like a self-important pr*ick.

Several years ago a wedding I attended, The Priest asked "...and do you Jane Doe take John Smyth..." when she was going to say the words, a cell phone went off with the ring tone of "Doctor, Doctor". Was just telling this story today, so I share it with all my friends. Oh, the song was from Robert Palmer ♫

At least it wasn't the song "Hell No" by Ricki Lee.

She was so hot as slave girl Leia - and ‘no bras in the future’ bathrobe Leia

Her commentary on Episode VI was hilarious -- something along the lines of "George told me I would be in an iron bikini and there could not be a single line showing" (=dieting) and "Hey, Luke! Here I am in an iron bikini!"

I guess I was unkind to Miss Fisher.

We all grow old. I have pictures of me when I could look straight down and see my shoes without leaning. They were taken with daguerreotype...

Here is her picture from IMDB -- a lot fairer:

You’d change your vote, if you saw her today:

They really need to develop all-wireless-frequency jammers to be turned on during performances.

If a surgeon misses his on call...oh well.(How can someone so important attend a show anyhow?)

That’s a keeper. Good on ya!

I’ve been doing the “toilet sounds” thing for months, but they just don’t get it. Gas noises, screams, and repeated “courtesy flushes”. People dense enough to chat while crapping need more direct measures.

Or ‘You’re Breaking My Heart’ by Nilsson.

There's an app for that? ;)

[dfwgator]

I always make a point to rip one as loud as I can if I hear somebody on their cell phone in the bathroom.

[discostu]

The goal is to make the person on the other side of the phone call hear it, and question.

[discostu]

If there isn’t there should be. Just for the irony of having a phone app with the goal of getting people to not use their phones.

While at the Tea Party Convention in Phoenix, AZ in 2011 I was in the presentation hall where Hermann Cain was giving his address. About 1/3 of the way into the speech a woman behind me not only took a call but talked on the phone for 8 - 10 minutes. Cain actually had to raise his voice so that the audience could hear over the call.

Myself and 20 other people were turned and looking at this woman. It was so maddening I had to get up and leave. She didn't get the hint. She was rude and absolutely oblivious that she was being selfish and rude.

Turns out she is one of the lead Tea Party Coordinators in the state of Colorado. I left that group too when I found out.
