cell phone in public

[wes0778]

After a tiring day, a commuter settled in her seat and closed her eyes.

 

As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train."

 

"Yes, I know it's the six-thirty and not the four-thirty, but I had a long meeting."

 

"No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. It was with the boss."

 

"No, sweetheart, you're the only one in my life."

 

"Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart."

 

Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly.

 

When the young woman sitting next to him had had enough, she leaned over and said into the phone, "Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed."

 

Eric no longer uses his cell phone in public!

You gotta love it. Some people just have no cell phone etiquette. It kind of reminds of back in the day when smokers rudely blew smoke in your face.

With so many people giving up smoking, I wonder if thats why there is not so many bar fights anymore.

No wonder the bars close early these days .....No More Action:Avatars_Gee_George:

I witnessed a similar incident.

I was at a seminar, in a packed hall, At the beginning of the presentation the very first thing the presenter did was ask everyone to turn off their cell phones. About 20 minutes into the speech someones cell phone rang, LOUD, as the guy answered it the speaker stopped and the hall was dead silent except for the guy on the phone. It only lasted a couple of seconds and the female speaker says "Honey, can you bring me a towel, I'm wet and naked and there no towels in this bathroom." The guy on the phone jumps up and runs out of the hall as the entire hall erupts in laughter. The guy never did come back.

We were in Mexico and we went to see a couple friends from Saltspring who were doing a comedy act. Part way through the act the guy at the next table pulled out his cell phone and started a loud conversation. The two young ladies who had shared his table got up and moved away. I soaked my napkin in the water glass and was about to wing it into his ear when my wife grabbed my wrist. The problem was solved when one of the guys stopped the act, walked over to him, leaned over and screamed "Shut the F**k up". He shut up.
