Candid Camera
I want to see one of those candid camera type sketches done that target the chronic cell phone users. Specifically I would like to see something where a jerk on a cell phone walks up yakking away on their phone but instead of being helped they are completely ignored by some little punk who whips out their cell phones and starts yakking away.
Ugh! Maybe then these people would see what jerks they were being. I actually had someone put up the quiet finger and tell me to hush when their cell phone rang as they were ordering. WTF?!?
Get out of line jerk!
Of course this same person got all pissy when I helped the next person. Hmm, let me think, help someone who will actually interact with me or stand by quiet and heed the hush finger? I tell you right now if you are one of these people who ignores the people waiting to assist you so you can yakk about someone's Bat Mitzvah or the sale at Saks then you need to walk directly to a door and slam your head forcefully in it. There are very few excuses for this sort of rudeness not only to the person in front of you but to every other person in line who has to stand by and listen to your b.s.
I swear one of these days I am going to carry on a conversation replying to whatever these people say into their cell phones.

Oh, a blogger after my own HEART!!
My blog is "Get Off The Phone", dedicated pretty much to bitching about the use and abuse of cell phones. Yesterday I was having an x-ray of my ankle after a hiking accident, in the exam room there is a sign on the wall asking patients to PLEASE discontinue cell phone use while the staff is in seeing about them. How FREAKING sad that there has to be a sign!!
And I completely agree with you that the jerk on the phone with the hush finger should have it (and the phone) stuck up his nose. It is utter B.S. that cell phones have become so accepted. I DO NOT want to hear about someone's surgery or where they're going or what they're doing. Even heard a woman having a con-fab with someone while taking a pee in a grocery store bathroom!!!
I have been, and will continue to be, absolutely rude to cell users in public. I have even writtten to my congress-person requesting the establishment of a ban on cell phone use in public. I was told it's too expensive.
