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.

Oh noes! I'm sorry. I'm so with you. And you know me fairly well...I ALWAYS make sure my phone is on either vibrate or I've turned it off when I'm at plays, movies or hell, even a convention. I paid to see a performance of some kind and I'm certainly NOT going to talk on my cell during it.

That's because you have class and manners. Too many people just don't get the whole "this isn't your living room" thing. *sigh*

I hear ya. I admit that I do use my cell phone occasionally at the store, especially if I'm buying for someone else and I need their help deciding what to get. Other than that, I tend not to use my cell that much in public.

If I call someone when I'm not home, it's usually NordicBoy and from the grocery store. GMTA. ;)
