Cell phones are only annoying to me in a theater. Any time someone whips one out in a movie everyone else think that gives them the right to take theirs out as well. The second i see someone on their phone i let out a quick "shut up" or "turn off the damn phone" or int eh case of two-ways where its more like a walketalkie a "*shhht* Turn off the phone! Over. *shhHht*"
Anywhere else i don't see a problem. As mentioned above i think people are just angry because they only get to hear half the conversation. To those people i can only say "mind your own damn business and stop eavesdropping."
Seriously, what's so bad about hearing someone chatting on a phone on a bus/train ride? If someone was talking to someone sitting next to them would it upset you as much? Personally i think if listening to people talk upsets you so much, then PUBLIC transportation is not for you.
I would like a serious answer. What's so bad about these things, except for in a theater? Is it jealousy that this person has an apparent social life and you don't? Feeling like no one wants to talk to you? A feeling of unimportance? How dos this make your restaraunt going experience worse? The restaraunt is full of people talking all around you yet you feel the need to single out the one person who is talking but doing so into a device?
I'm with Kutulu 100%
