Today's Rant: Cell phones in Restaurants!!

[Mikal]

I took the wife to TGIfridays for lunch. The entire time we were there (about an hour) some jackass was yapping away on the phone loud enough for us all to enjoy the story of his entire dysfunctional family! Does anyone else think this is rude as hell? My too-nice wife had to hold me back from doing a Fred Sanford on his ass! Grrrrr!!!

 

[Tauren]

I agree completely!!! I keep my phone on 'vibrate' and if I need to talk to someone at length, I go outside. People can be so rude!!:|

 

[Rent]

I carry my cell into resturants, but If I recieve a call I take it outside. There isn't any need for you other jackasses to hear my conversations

 

[vi edit]

Restaurants aren't as bad. What I hate is when some inconsiderate fscktard has his cell phone going off in the movie theatre.

 

[cchen]

I have no problem with people talking in restaurants as long as they can talk quietly

 

[viewton]

you should not be at restaraunts until we have a pic of the neighbor. in fact, you should not be eating, drinking, nor sleeping until you have accomplished your mission!

 

[Mikal]

She's at work right now.... gives me time to hook up the shower cam!

 

[viewton]

for this mission, you will need a lockpick, a shower cam, and a screwdriver. you have 3 hours to complete the objective. good luck mr hunt.



<< She's at work right now.... gives me time to hook up the shower cam! >>

 

[thereds]

Stop lying Mikal.

 

[Mikal]

I may have to take a Stimpak and nightvision augmentation.....

 

[viewton]

You should have beat him down like you do Aunt Esther ,Mr. Sanford

 

[Mikal]

Johnny, it was either that or &quot;This is the Big One, Elizabeth!!&quot;

 

[gygheyzeus]

Yeah, I just leave mine on vibrate and then take it outside if I have to.

 

[AndrewR]

No one needs a phone in a restaurant or a movie theater. I had some imbecile next to me during Pearl Harbor, and he MADE THREE CALLS DURING THE COURSE OF THE MOVIE! On the first two, he was checking messages, and they were short calls so I didn't say anything. On the last one, he was talking to someone, and I told him to shut up.

I just want a portable jammer. If I win some money and have $1000 to spend, I'll get one -- illegality be damned.

how about in the privacy of your own home....I think that would be more considerate

danny~!

 

[DannyLove]

rant: for some reason my gf loves to take her cell phone in the movie theater and leave it on. Once the freakin things goes off in the middle of the freakin movie, SHE ACTUALLY ANSWERS IT and crouches down and starts talking!!!! I start tabing her and telling her to hang up the %$#%#^ phone. I HATE THAT. :|

danny~!

 

[Demon-Xanth]

IMO, a short (sub 1 minute) call is okay. Anything over that take into the lobby or outside.

 

[Linh]

there should be a &quot;no cell phone&quot; section

 

[351Cleveland]

I go OFF on people who have their phones on in movies... even during the previews... I have been known to get up, walk over, and stand over them until they take notice and shut the phone off. I am not crazy, but it always helps to appear that way

 

[JACKHAMMER]

You are obviously not jabbing hard enough.

If anyone is loud, I'll complain to the management, whether they're on a phone or not. I don't understand why some idiots have to yell into their cell phone and speak differently than they do in a normal conversation. It's not only annoying to those around you, it's annoying to the person on the other end of the phone.

Anywho, people on cell phones don't bother me unless they're in a movie theater, or other place that requires silence. In fact, even a ringing phone or beeping pager in a theater pisses me off.

 

[brtspears2]

Its only TGI Fridays! Geez, the place is loud already, they have great antics when there is a birthday. If you want a quiet meal, goto somewhere else. I would be royally pissed if it was in another resturant.

 

[Tauren]

<<how about in the privacy of your own home....I think that would be more considerate >>

No it isn't. Cell phones are for using on the go. It doesn't bother me if someone is outside a restaurant talking on the phone at all.

 

[Mikal]

When we went there it wasn't crowded yet and the jerk really stood out.
