Re: How Big Of A Life Nit Am I? (Cell phones on trains)
I think in general this is always not a cell phone issue and just a "is the person an [censored]?" issue.
You can use a phone and not be annoying and you can project to the whole bus/train and just be a dick. Frankly I think the poor cell phones get blamed for the actions of their owners far too often.

also, this is a huge pet peeve of mine and something i think is really wrong with society today. people just get all pissy about stuff that bothers them. just because something bothers you doesn't mean it's wrong or inconsiderate. you don't have a right to not be bothered in public. yeah, some stuff is obviously way over the line, but people get way too upset about normal human activities just because everyone thinks they're the most important person in the world. [/ QUOTE ] I think the point of this thread is that despite the fact that everyone on the train is bothered by it, nobody gets "pissy" or does anything about it. They just go home and complain, sometimes to their families but mostly to OOT.

When the other person doesn't pick up, you of course click your tongue at the phone, and loudly announce, "This [censored] never answer his mother [censored] phone." Then you leave him a message that says, "Answer yo mother [censored] phone, [censored]." [/ QUOTE ] Does this being in ebonics imply that the people who talk on cell phones on trains are African-Americans? lol

I don't particularly think it is a big issue, but it's like if you invite some friends over to watch Schindler's List and one of them comes in with a huge bowl of popcorn. Really doesn't jive well. [/ QUOTE ] You're not allowed to change the setting in trying to say that it's not that weird.

[/ QUOTE ] I fail to see how I was changing the setting considering no setting was given. Same thing can apply to the theater. Or TV. You can talk with friends and eat dinner and stuff during Entourage or 24. You don't really do that during the Sopranos.

Re: How Big Of A Life Nit Am I? (Cell phones on trains)
Meh, I commute to and from work on a train. I'm not just going to write off an hour and a half of my life each day. I'll use it to chat to family or do business if I have to. I couldn't honestly imagine being annoyed at another person using a phone unless they were shouting. It's exactly the same as talking to a friend sat next to you. If it bothers you get earphones.
Your life must be miserable if stuff this trivial annoys you.
