get a grip will you, did i say i answered the damn thing? thats what i have voicemail for.

agree

No, you actually didn't say fuck all, except that you "<i>never turn off your phone unless you're on a plane</i>"

Gee, how could I have misread that??

well then read everything and not just parts of my post.

Okay, here was your post...

You clearly don't say anything about being considerate of others. You don't say that you only use the vibrate feature during the instances we talked about above, and you don't say fuck all about weather or not you answer the calls and talk during those times. No mention about voicemail, no mention about getting your messages later in any form whatsoever.

What exactly do you think I'm missing?

I'll put my phone on vibrate during a movie, concert, at dinner, etc. I'll look to see who's calling. If it's one of my kids, I'll turn the phone on, cup my hand around the mic and whisper "hold on". Then walk out to an area I can talk. If it's anyone else, it gets ignored until I'm available.

Now here's even stranger thing... 3 times in the last 6 months or so during a movie there's been people taking flash pictures. Unbelievable! Why take pictures of people during a movie? Wouldn't you rather be watching it yourself too. Gee.. if you want to save the moment take the picture outside of the theater or in the lobby. One of these occurences was at the Spiderman opening day. After the first flash several people hollered... but then there was a second and a third. People were threatening the guy. Someone went and got the manager and they removed the guy and his 3 friends.

I wonder if people are taking pictures of the movie itself? Maybe the dickhead has a website and wanted a few stills of the movie for it?

or not.




I suppose there are a lot of instances where people are just downright inconsiderate jerkazoids. What about these people who throw tantrums on airplanes? Can't get a drink right away so they freak. Can't have a smoke so they go nuts and cause a huge scene and upset all the other paying passengers. Absolute retards.

Actually in all cases they were taking pictures of the people with them.

I'll never forget a plane ride from Minneapolis to Seattle. Very crowded 747. There was a girls softball team on board about midplane. This one girl was already drunk before they boarded. You could hear every word she said throughout the plane. Before takeoff they told her to pipe down or they'd have her removed. About that time the plane started backing away from the gate, she giggled.. "We're going home, Toto... there's no place like home.. there's no place like home." About half the plane in unison yelled "Shut up, Dorothy" Then someone yelled "And your little dog too!" Everyone died laughing. She continued on for a while because they wouldn't give her alcohol. Finally she fell asleep.

What's the situation regarding cell phones on airplanes? Is it allowed? and... if someone gets a call, does it piss off the other passengers? I'm not sure it would bug me all that much, unless of course it's an overnight flight and I'm trying to get some sleep. It wouldn't bother anyone watching a movie because you get headphones for that.

Yesterday I drove to get take-out from a local diner. On the way back this guy in a BMW cuts me off. I drive a 2500 Series Suburban and suffice it to say it does not stop easily. My food gets flipped onto the floor, the brakes get locked on, my heart is pounding.. and Im pissed. The guy in the BMW drives away so I step on the gas to catch up to him. As soon as I get close and see this guy is on a cell phone I went from pissed to insane.

This jackass had no clue as to what even happened. He is so into his own little conversation that he didnt even see my Suburban or realize that he almost ran me off the road. Traffic screwups happen but when I see that cell phone it just sets me off.

Does anyone else get like this ? Shit happens in traffic but for some reason when I see the other driver is talking on a cell I just want to shove it down their fucking throat. Instantly, Im twice as pissed off.

CD, I think you need some anger management classes. Getting this upset about cell phones isn't healthy.

You are one of them damned cell-phone users. I keel you

Yes, I have a cell phone but I don't go to movie theatres so I won't be bothering you with it. ;)

You damn well better not!


nah, I just thought my post on the PC board would make for a good topic to hash out here at good ol GFY.

And there's nothing wrong with a little venting from time to time, is there? Who better to vent on than useless pieces of shit cellphone users who constantly piss everyone around them off for their own selfishness? Except for "the sniper" I can't think of anyone. :D

i cant stand kids in class and at the movies who use their phone, but i talk on the phone driving quite often, it doesnt effect my driving one bit.

There may be certain exceptions, some people may be able to stay focused on their driving. But there are too many others that are air-headed dipshits that CAN'T stay completely focused while driving and talking. They are in rushhour traffic and taking multiple calls, arguing with their wife/husband on one line, solving a crisis at the office on the other line, and worrying about something else besides. It's a recipe that is made for disaster, so no..... I simply don't accept your statement that it doesn't affect your driving.

Sometimes a split-second of reaction time is all it takes to aviod an accident, and that fucking phone in your hand might mean the difference between someone living or dying because it slows your reaction time down even a little. There is no way you can say it could never happen. No point in arguing about it either, it's a fact that there are a LOT of accidents nowadays due to cell-phone usage while driving.

Mobile phones can't be used on a flight, it interferes with the navigational system.

And supposedly never substantiated..

http://www3.primushost.com/~clp/news...on_planes.html

and these same people can't drive worth a shit yo begin with.

so you're saying that if you have someone in your passenger seat that you will not talk to them because it may effect your driving? i dont see the difference between talking to someone in the passenger seat and talking to someone on the phone.

Worst experience was watching Goodfellas at Mann's Chinese theatre on Hollywood Blvd.

Some Goodfellas wannabe sat down behind my girlfriend and me and right in the middle of the movie he picks it up and starts talking as loud as he can.

This is going on for like 1-2 minutes while everyone is telling him to shut the fuck up...his girlfriend is just spinning around in her seat flipping anyone and everyone off...lol...these people were the biggest fucking tards.

I got up went and got the manager of the theatre and he politely, but sternly asked them to shut it off.

If it's a handheld phone...big fucking difference.

I can't go to a single class at college, except english, the teacher will drop your ass if it rings in her class, but every other class, someone didn't "find" their silent or off button.
And at the movies, I gladly say, "Take it outside" or " Get the fuck off dumb shit. usually works :) but not always

how is it such a difference? i dont use 2 hands to drive anyways. my phone has speakerphone though.

And then the Expert Rock Climber says "Yes, sure I'll use your phone.. Thanks!" Dials number... Presses send... "We're sorry... Either you are out of your coverage area, or your phone is no longer in service."

-Can you hear me now?

Have you noticed at the movies, that it's not just cell phones anymore?

Nowadays, people will sit right behind you, and start talking with total disrespect to everyone else in the theater, while the flick is playing.

I'm soooo fed up with these assholes. I decided to start doing the following.

If someone is behind me, and begins to talk during a movie... I will:
Sit right in front of them, and sit up high in the seat to obstruct their view of the screen.

If they are in front of me talking, I will remove my shoe, and stick my stinky foot & sock up on their seat, right next to their face. OR, I will lean forward, and cough on the back of their head/neck (blowing a few chunky pieces of chewed popcorn out). :)

That was your stinky foot??!!

AHAHAHA!!! Sniff baby! :)

if you wanna ban hands free phones in the car because its a distraction, then u better fucking ban traveling with your spouse, children, pets or maybe no fucking passengers at all cuz its a distraction. oh my fucking god a billboard i was reading distracted me better ban those fuckers too. maybe we should rip the radio outof the dash too, im sure one good polka gets you all fired up huh CDSmith. maybe we should ban rain and snow too cuz they add a big distaction to my driving. should we be forced to drive with blinders on? how long does it take till its decided humans are unfit to drive and we are banned from driving.
then youll be bitching about the person picking their nose in the subway or bus you are now forced to share. then a gang will get on the subwaY and steal your money CDSmith and force you to rape yourself with an umbrella. when theyre thru with you youll be cast into the gutter. as you lay their wondering why this has happened to you it will dawn on you it all started with the cell phone. they fuck you with the cell phone. and we'll have to hear you piss and moan about shit all over again.

i wanna hear the story where you actually had the nuts to walk up to these ppl that annoy you with the phone and actually give them the piece of your mind that youve been talking about. does it keep you up at night all the shoulda coulda wouldas floating thru your head. either step up to the plate and do something or quit your fuckin whining.

i agree about the distraction totally zombie, theres way too many distractions possible while driving, you can just single out cell phones. theres no need to attack cdsmith though, hes just speaking his mind.

theaters barely make any money on the entry ticket. But they make up to 500% profit on popcorn, juices and softdrinks.

Hey dipshit moron retard.... I never said anything about banning hands-free phones.

don't be a fuckface.

There is an increasing number of restaurants and such that are installing scramblers or some means that prevent signals from reaching cell phones inside of the building..

My boss uses his phone for business, but when he's driving and answers it, he ends up slowing down to about 30 mph and doesn't even realize it.. I've jumped his ass many times to pay attention to the driving or get the Hell off of the phone.
I did finally get him to turn it off when we'd go to eat.

if i say i use vibrate then obviously i'm talking about those situations where i don't want my phone going off. i am suppose to spell everything out for you, or can you stop acting like a 2 year old calling someone names after making assumptions?

its no wonder everything ppl do bothers you. you're such a whiny bitch. hopefully one day we'll be at the same place eating a nice meal and i look forward to talking on my cellphone the whole time watching you cry and complain but never having the balls to do anything about it. shit me just saying that prolly has your ulcers all fired up.

My phone was on vibrate in a movie last week, and I was able to get into the hall outside the theater to take the call. It was an important call, but I had no idea when it was coming.

Maybe if you didn't sit in the front row...

I look forward to showing you which one of us is the whiny bitch... me happily eating my meal quietly or you crying because the bad man at the other table shoved your cellphone up your ass.


Everybody's tough.

Quit your crying wimpy. You obviously left out a lot of detail out of your first post, so don't blame others for your lack of clarity.

Why not just try a little harder to make your meaning understood, and try less harder to argue yourself into dipshit status?

I don't know of anyone who has a problem with what you just described. I mean, people get up during a movie to go buy stuff or go to the bathroom, so I don't think this would be any different. It's the ones that actually answer the call inside the theatre and start talking that piss people off.

Question: Can you attach one of these virtual answering machines to your cell #? I mean, if you switched off your phone during a movie or dinner, is there a way to have your calls answered and messages taken? I think there is, but I'm not 100% sure of it. If there is such a thing, is it so expensive that people don't take advantage of it?

Only thing that pisses me off about mobile (cell) phones is when assholes are using them when driving!

2 winters ago it was snowing real heavy here and i live at the end of a street so its the last house and some asshole was driving into my street in his nice fancy car on his fone in the snow and my mum had just stepped out of her car after work and she couldn't be arsed getting out opening the drive way gates and putting the car in so she left it and as she turned away from the car this wanker lost control of his car and smashed right into the drivers side of my mums new car!!!

10 seconds earlier and my mum would have been killed coz of this fuck head!

then to make it worse we never called the police we just took his insurance details and when my mums insurance company tried to get the money to fix the car the asshole hadn't reported it and went and got his car fixed and denied all knowledge!!

My mum had to end up paying to get it fixed and it cost a lot of money!!

He was a dick!

I hate the assholes on public transportation (only buses and above ground trains in NYC, luckily) that use them incessantly. The conversation goes like this, "ok, I just got out of the tunnel... I can barely hear you... ya I'll be home in 5 minutes... ok... blah blah blah fucking blah..." Couldn't the stupid hahahaha have just called before they got on the train or bus, instead of adding to the already unbearable levels of noise pollution?

Americans (I can't speak for any other nationality, but I hear the Japs and the Swedes are worse) have a bad case of verbal diarreah (sp?). I'm so glad that most people here oppose the installation of cell phones lines on the underground tracks. Noone knows how to shut the fuck up anymore! :2 cents:

There was a hysterical URL that I found a couple of years back that had videos of the English bloakes dressed as giant cellys. They would grab peoples phones in mid-conversation and smash them to bits on the ground - running off, screaming "destroy all mobile phones..." very funny, I'll try to find it and post it if I can.
