Obligatory pictures included.

I’m no fan of Carrie Fisher, but I certainly can’t blame her for chiding the guy for taking two cell phone calls. If it absolutely can’t wait, take it outside.

Cell phones = Public nuisance. And, yes, I do have one. Just another tool of the rude.

sometimes you forget, if you forget.

a guy had one go off at the Met and he was quite publicly humiliated. Even written up in the paper.

So I guess taboos are effective checks on social behavior.

But don't tell that to all the leftists whom it benefits.

[the invisib1e hand]

Not Guilty.

Eh. Phones aren’t public nuisances ... people are public nuisances.

“I find your lack of ‘vibrate’ disturbing.”

[freedumb2003]

Not Guilty.

Then. Now...?

A friend asked me out to lunch.
He kept answering his cell phone. It was text messages.
I walked out and waited in the car.

If someone can’t spend 20 minutes without a cell phone, they better marry it.

The insecure clown needed to be escorted out of the theater after the first incident and told that the setting for vibrate has a legitimate use as well as what he usually uses it for.
It makes no difference who the actor is. When they are performing their art, they should be allowed not to be disturbed. If you're such a friggin hot shot that the world revolves around you, then have your secretary take the call(again that's what she is legitimately next to you to do)

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 ♫

“Princess Lay-a”

Comedy - like music - is all about timing and setting the scene.

Wishful Drinking is a hilarious one-woman show/stand-up. But it is an almost intimate setting with her talking about the most intimate details of her troubled (and funny) life.

I would want that man's name found out - to have his name pilloried - and any season passes revoked - and never allowed in any venue where civilized people gather again.

“A friend asked me out to lunch.

Amazing to watch people in eating establishments anymore. Three or four at a table eating and no conversations between any of them because they are on their phones. Talk about becoming insulated. Was in an airport bar recently and was sitting at the bar along with thirty or so others. Not one single person was talking to another customer. Every single one except me was on their phones. Never been to a bar that was dead queit except for the piped in music.

She was so hot as slave girl Leia - and ‘no bras in the future’ bathrobe Leia - she has been granted lifetime amnesty.

She didn't sign on to be 25 year old hot for the rest of her life! And good on her for not trying and looking like the Joker aka Callista Gingrich - or Dolly Parton.

"A crying baby is one thing. A jerk on a cell phone is quite another."

And the one who brings a baby to a public event is the biggest jerk of them all.

I hear she will be staring in the next installment of Star Wars - as Princess the Hut.

[jakerobins]

Not to excuse rude people that answer cell phones but if she did that to me I might say...”Hey carrie it’s Chris Dodd on the line...” LOL....

Hollywood types are so important, no dare interrupt their play acting.
