The man, who calls himself Eric, told the NBC10 Investigators, “I guess I’m taking the law into my own hands and quite frankly, I’m proud of it.”

Eric says he doesn’t want to hear people talking on their cell phones in public.

“It’s still pretty irritating and quite frankly it’s pretty rude,” said Eric.
Eric says he’s firing up a cell phone jammer that he bought online to shut down conversations he doesn’t want to hear.

“A lot of people are extremely loud, no sense of just privacy or anything, when it becomes a bother, that’s when I screw on the antenna and flip the switch,” said Eric.

what an idiot. how is talking on a cell phone really different from folks yapping loud with each on the bus?

On average people are louder on phones than when talking with someone in person. It's been studied.

Idiot? How so?

I look at it as push and shove.

Someone pushes their loud voice on me, I should be able to shove some silence onto them.
