Definitely really awesome. It's about time there be some cell phone etiquette, and if that's what it takes, then so be it. I've always wanted to speak up and let people know when they're being rude, but I'm meek and afraid of retaliation.
Bryan and I were just talking about this cell phone nonsense. We said that now that several restaurants have eliminated their smoking sections, they're going to have to divide their establishments again, this time "Cell phone or no cell phone?"
And the cell phone section would be a room of incessant shouting about meaningless and/or inappropriate items, like, "I'm at Friendly's. Eating. I'm getting a reuben. On rye. What? Rye. What are you eating? What? Yeah, I still have that yeast infection. I'm douching this afternoon."
I don't understand how some people feel that talking into a cell phone makes a disgusting and private conversation OK for public consumption.
You know what I hate more than loud cell phone conversations in public? Loud walkie-talkie conversations in public. Or push to talk or direct connect or whatever fancy term they give to using your cell phone as a walkie talkie. Because the only thing more irritating than hearing one loud side of a disgusting and private conversation is hearing both sides.
Well, I don't know how many times I've wanted to tell someone off for doing it, but there have been times I've wanted to get on my phone and loudly say, "Yeah, the doctor says it's only slightly contagious, but I figure what's a little crabs between strangers on a train?"
