All this talking on cell phones and the plane didn't crash? :Q

The wings fell off I am sure. Cell phones have this mysterious power over thousands of pounds of airplane.

I doubt it ever happened. Sounds like one of those fake emails that get passed around.

I don't know about that. I ride a bus everyday to work. It's a commuter bus, so it's mostly professionals. Some of the loudest cellphone talkers on my bus are asian women.

The incident was obviously Photoshopped! :shocked:
 
I wish they'd ban talking once you're on the plane period, unless you're stuck on the tarmac or something and it's clear everyone won't be making their destination on time.

I'm working in an office with 5 other people. One is the boss and although he's technically in the same office with us, his office is at the far end with a door that can be closed for privacy. He rarely closed it.

So, I have a co-worker who needs to go over the contents of a directory on a shared drive with the boss. They both have access to it, but it different ways. Somethings messed up and to try and figure it out they decide to go through it folder by folder and figure out what's what.

They both have a phone on their desk. She decides it's much, much better to scream through the office to him as they go through every folder, file by file. Verifying each and every one.

This went on for about 5 minutes before I reached my breaking point. I called her phone. Mind you, her desk was essentially right next to mine. She answers and I tell her loud enough for the rest of the office to hear that I just wanted to make sure her phone worked. I'm hearing all my co-workers snicker and laugh under their breath. She answers that yes it is, hangs up, turns, gives me a weird look and carries on screaming through the office.

I had to walk out for a half hour. I really miss that place.

I was looking for the part of the story where you say that they both have unlimited minute plans so the call would not have cost them any minutes or money but I'm not seeing it. . .

Have you ever worked in an office? Or seen one on TV or in movies? 😕 He's not talking about a cell phone.

QFT, you are right. He did say they have a phone on desk, not a cell phone. I was subconsciously thinking of cell phone because that was what the thread was about. Me == PWNT. Cell phones are so commonplace now that I think most people just think of phone and cell phone as interchangeable terms and when people say phone they are usually talking about their cell phone. With this realization, this is a funny story.
