Want to know whats wrong with the country? A thread about phone annoyances gets 70+ responses in a day.

actually, let's put what you said in more context....
you're right, you say it's bad enough to be sujected to the bus system...
I'm subject to it everyday, going to the subway and back home from the subway. Have you ever been on a subway that goes underground and above ground? Underground it's quite quiet, with the occassional animated loud converstation or busker. Once it goes above ground, everyone flips open their cellphones to just shoot the shit and pass the time. Again, no issue if it's within the confines of yourself, but it's not, people subject others to their grocery lists, errands, which kid is being bad, which boyfriends called, which girl is a bitch, and the rest of the trivialities of life that encompass these phone calls.
On top of the bad enough that I have to take the bus, I also have to listen to Chatty Cathy discuss how Boy A didn't do this or that, or Mommy calling home to say she's finally on the bus, which to me is equal the inane call after landing on a plane,"We landed"
If they were talking in low tones, I'd agree with you even more, but carrying on like they would in their own living room is unacceptable to me, just as LOUD STEREOS are unacceptable to other drivers.
and if you think that 70+ replies on a thread is what's wrong with this country, I'm going to say flat out, the real problem is today's people think more about themselves than they do about the community around them.
