Hey shithead... ya you with the cellphone...
 

What kills me about cellphone users is their complete lack of ability to find the "off" switch on their phones. These people are retarded to a person, every last one of them has a few key braincells missing or dormant.

For example:
I'm at this business seminar 4 months ago. The introductory speaker asks that anyone with a cellphone please turn them off before the main speaker comes on. Later, while the main speaker is talking, guess what?.... a cellphone rings. In fact, during that 90 minute seminar, no less than 4 different cellphones went off. Fucking retards.

Ever been in a movie theater in the last 2 years and NOT heard at least one cellphone ringing? You pay $12 bucks a ticket for you and your date, plus another $15-$20 in popcorn and drinks and candy, only to hear some fuckhead's cellphone ringing overtop of what the star is saying.

So, do I sometimes have visions of grabbing someone's phone and shoving it up their ass?
Yeah, you bet I do.

Cellphone users: know where the off switch is, and fucking USE it.

I agree. I don't get out much anymore because of a bad back, but not going to public places because of Cell Phones is enough of an excuse to avoid public places, and that is not to mention the idiots that are driving while talking on their Cell Phones. By the way $15-$20 for pop corn and candy? Isn't that alot of popcorn and candy?

My girlfriend was in class a couple weeks ago and some dudes cellphone went off like 7 times during class. Each time he answered the phone at his seat (with a nice and loud "hello", "HEY, how are you?"). Then he would walk out of the room to finish the call.

The kicker? The students were doing presentations that day. Nice interruption you MORON.

Someone finally said "turn it OFF". He said "well, it's on low".

I guess he hasn't been back to class since.

Here is a lesson I have learned:

Never underestimate the stupidity of others.

For two people? No, not really. They have combo packages at silver city that involve like 2 drinks, a jumbo popcorn and 2 chocolate bars for like $13 bucks. If you have a few kids with you then twenty bucks is nothing. My sister took her grandkid, her daughter, and 3 other kids to a movie a few months back and it ran her over $70 for an afternoon matinee. Cripes, my sister and I used to hit a Saturday matinee back in the early 70's for .70 cents each plus bus fair.

You even get those dipstick who thinks it's cool to talk on their phones during a movie.

I always have some hard candy that I can throw at them, and I do... with great accuracy :winkwink:

The province of Ontario just passed a law banning the use of hand-held cell-phones while driving. I applaud them and hope that this type of law spreads everywhere. Nothing stupider than an idiot with a phone stuck to the side of his head while in traffic.

What the hell was the teacher's problem? Any teacher I ever had in school would have ordered that fuckhead to turn it off or get the fuck out. Are teachers really so spineless these days?

ever see a black person with a cell phone in their pocket....nope....always grippin that shit like its their link to life

That law has been in effect in all of Australia for some time now. They even consider banning the use of hands-free while driving as a study has revieled that it does not lower the risks at all.

One cell-phone commercial I did like though,
went something like this....

Expert rock climber takes a few raw newbs up the side of a cliff.
Before they go, the expert sneers and makes fun of the newbs,
calling them "city wussies with their wussy ways" etc.
then, during the climb, the expert loses his footing and ends up
hanging upside down by his foot caught in the rope.
One of the newbie climbers leans over and says "Hey, ya wanna
use my wussy phone?"

ha ha

Just take a full syringe of heroin and inject it into the back of their neck..they'll mellow the fuck out and hang up that phone quickly....

I asked her the exact same thing. She said the teacher is "passive". I would have kicked the cock out of class on the second call, especially during presentations.

Well, there are wireless headsets that are small and would be quite hard to spot, but I think that having both hands on the wheel is a good part of the battle.


My main beef is the idiots who simply do not know how to fucking turn off their cell phones in certain situations. Same with people who bring their babies to a business meeting or seminar. Do you bring your kids to work with you? No? Then get a fucking babysitter asshole. Babies always always always cry at business seminars. Not sometimes, 100% of the fucking time.

1 part consideration and 2 parts common sense.

Waste of good heroin. What about a donkey punch (without the fucking) ? A good stiff anonymous shot in the back of the melon oughtta shut them up even quicker than drugs, no?

We live in the ME times.

The schools don't teach consideration or respect for your fellow man anymore.

It's all about me, myself and I.

I think people get cell phones to boost their ego. Not many people really need them. I think they get them to feel important. I go out to eat and these people are sitting there on the phone and I'm like WTF is so important you have to talk on the phone at dinner? Give me a fucking break.


What I want to know is why a person would want to be accessable 24 hours a day? I hate talking on the phone. Last thing I'll do is leave the house with one.

I haven't been to a theater since "Saving Private Ryan". I only paid $6.00 for the ticket, and did not buy or price popcorn, drinks and etc. I am shocked at the prices you are speaking about. By the way I had to leave before the movie was over because of my back, but rented it later on DVD, though it wasn't quiet the same as seeing it in the theater because of the sound system.

"Saving Private Ryan" was boring.

silver city in wpg is wicked expensive

Here the tickets are $3 each.

The exchange rate is going higher and higher.

In this bar near me you get fined if you go in with a mobile switched on. If it rings £5 if you make an outgoing call £10....

True, but then they can become addicted and you can then sell them more heroin....


actually, I shut my cell phone off about 3 months ago and haven't turned it back on since...I really don't miss it......I was at my son's school pageant the other day and 3 cell phones went off....someone can't even shut their phone off for 45 minutes to hear their kid sing "America The Beautiful" offkey.......

I'm always amazed by the dickheads standing in the middle on a niteclub screaming into their phones.

They really are a few ants short of a picnic.

That's why I never had a cellphone. If I'm not at the office and not at home, just wait a bit and call again.

My friends think I'm "funny" just because I don't want/have a fucking cellphone. Tsc, tsc.

Last time I was at silver city it was to see "Castaway", 2 winters ago. Tickets were $9.50 each, and the eats were a good $12 bucks. So, close to $35 bucks total, and yep.... I heard at least two cellphones ring during that flick.


And in a nice restaraunt during dinner, that's another time when cell-phone-having assholes really bug me. You're trying to have a nice intimate meal with a nice lady, you're maybe dropping $20 a pop for the food, another $20 for wine, appetizers for $15, desserts are $4 a pop, and a few drinks before and after and you're easily into the $120-$150 range with a decent tip. Then mr bigshot cellphone guy get's a call over at the next table and yaps like an idiot for 2-3 minutes. Then he get's another call. Shit, I should have my own cellphone, somehow figure out his number and call him up and say "hey dipshit... if you don't shut your fucking phone off and enjoy your dinner I'm gonna come over there and dip it in your fois gras and feed it to you piece by piece." ... then hang up and stare at him with "the look".


ha ha.... a guy can dream can't he?

worse than that is going into some store or office and standing there wanting to buy something and the phone rings. the sales person pounces on it and yaps for 20 mins leaving you standing there looking like an idiot. Then when they get off the phone it rings again and the same thing happens again. I feel like using my cell phone and calling them right there in front of their face and saying - I'm here dipshit - I have money - the phone doesn't have money - take my fucking money and let the God Damn phone ring. That's what answering machines are for.

:thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

I saw a study once that concluded that the problem with cell phones isn't that they take a hand away from the wheel, it's that the attention paid to the phone comes out of the attention paid to the road, reducing reaction time.

That happened to me once, and I harrassed the salesperson off the phone with something like, "Hey, I took the trouble to come down here. Take his number and call him back if you want my money." He finally nodded to me, took the number of the person on the phone, and apologized.

2 months ago I dined with a friend at a higher end restaurant in Sonoma Valley. We ordered a good $200 worth of food and wine. Just before my first entree' arrived (I'd ordered the 5 course Chefs tasting menu) the head Chef, who was supposed to have been preparing my dishes personally, came out of the kitchen, plonked his fat, bald, greasy ass down 2 tables away, and started yapping on a cellphone. He continued for a good half an hour.

Rather than make a scene, we took our consolation in the fact that the gal we were dining with contributes restaurant reviews to several widely read Bay Area newspapers :1orglaugh

For anyone who is interested, the restaurant to avoid is Sonoma Meritage.

Mr. Cell Phone would be Carlos Cavallo, and his wife is not nearly as good looking as she looks in the picture ;)

Fortunately it has been illegal to drive and talk while holding a hand-hell phone for about 3 years in Australia.

I remember having one of the first mobile phones in Australia in 1986 and back then not many ppl had even seen one in Australia. The looks I used to get when using it in hands frree mode hehe - priceless.:1orglaugh

i never turn my phone off, unless i'm on a plane.

just use the vibrate feature.

Yep, I don't need to see a study to know that a person's attention on driving is cut way down by talking on a cell phone of any kind. I suppose the thinking is that a hand-free set is the "lesser of two evils", and I can see where in some instances having both hands on the wheel would make a difference.


What about the day that is coming when cars are outfitted with a person-to-person screen? Anyone think that will "cut down on attention spans"?? ha ha

Then you're the kind of dipshit I'm talking about.

Saying "I never turn my phone off" is fucking retarded bro. I'm telling you right here - right fucking now, if you ever come within my sphere of influence at a movie, a quiet restaraunt, a class or business seminar, and your fucking idiot retarded fuckhead phone goes off, you will be sorry. Trust me.

Get to know your off switch. :321GFY

cdsmith you're an idiot. do you know what vibrate is? phone makes no noise, it just shakes a bit.

I'm starting to fucking hate cell phones.

Go to a mall lately, and theres a cell phone sales booth about ever 20 feet full of salesman trying to pitch you every fucking time you walk by.

In the weekly mail advertisements I get a shitload of ads for cell phone offers.

Most girls these days especially when at the mall and stuff constantly have a cell phone glued to their ear. Sometimes I think if they take it away from their head it will deflate. Fucking self-important bitches.

And of course the chuckle fucks who drive like reckless maniacs as soon as they get a call. Then they defend themself by saying how it dosent affect their driving and how laws preventing it are stupid.


Cell phones are good for emergencies or business if you have a need to be in touch with clients.

I have the basic sprint plan for 11 dollars a month which just gives enough minutes for emergencies.

The phone going off in the movie theater doesn't bother me as much as this idiot that started having a conversation in the middle of a movie. It lasted about 5 minutes...eventually he noticed about 5 people moving towards him to kick his ass and decided to cut it short.

You still have to say "hello" right? You still take the call in a crowded theater, right? You still have a fucking coversation in the middle of a class. doesn't matter that you *get up and walk out* now does it? No, you still disrupt others.

... and I'm the idiot here? I don't think so, dipshit.

YES, that's part of my beef too. It's not just the ringing that bugs me, it's the conversations too, with no regard for others at all.


Someone wants a cellphone they should have to pass a fucking TEST on proper use and etiquette required to operate one properly.

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.
