Plague that is cell phones

[monkeybard]

This is for anyone who ever goes to any sort of theatre--live, movie, outdoor, whatever.  CHECK YOUR CELL PHONE BEFORE THE SHOW STARTS.  People are so plugged in it just kills me.  And a little note to those who forget to check their cell phones:  If someone else's goes off, the performers (and other audience members) would rather hear the soft scrambling of half the audience checking to make sure their phones are silent/off rather than hear a second cell phone ringing from somewhere else in the house.  Gah!

Otherwise, last night was a Thursday.  Not great, but not awful.

I couldn't agree more, and as a teacher, let me add that IT'S NOT GOOD IN CLASS EITHER. Nothing is more annoying http://www.presentationhelper.co.uk/sound/cell_phone.wav than to be in the middle of a lecture when someone's ridiculous (and they always are ridiculous) ring tone interrupts http://www.audiosparx.com/sa/archive/Electronics/Cell-phones/Toccata-in-Fugue-phone-tones/65943 and they have to scramble madly to find where the hell they put the phone and then which button (because it's NEW) they push to turn it off, or worse, they ANSWER it.

That was the worst--when the guy answered it. Then he hung up and it rang again. TWICE! Gah!
