That sounds like a pretty heavy penalty, but those cell phones are annoying.

I think New York City passed an ordinance where people are fined for letting their cell phones go off in theaters. I like that one. They REMIND you before live theater performances to turn those things off (and I always check, even though I know I turned it off) and still there's always at least one idiot whose phone goes off during the show. I've even seen people ANSWER the calls and walk out of the theater while yakking away on it.

If you can't be without your precious phone for three hours, don't go to events where they'll annoy people. It's that simple.

Or, if an emergency is anticipated, at least set the d*mn thing to vibrate instead of ring and go outside to answer it.

I wonder if she started talking on it. It's not that unusual. Some people are obsessed with answering a phone, no matter what.

Being annoyed is part of life. Some people even seek it out. Heck, I come here every day just to be annoyed. : )

Amen!
