At least 50% of the time, people in public spaces have answered an incoming call. Most people think nothing of calling someone on their cell phone at any hour without giving any thought to the appropriateness of the time. When you should know that someone is driving to work for example, eating dinner or sleeping.

My cell phone goes to sleep at 11 pm and wakes ups again at 7 am. I don't care how drunk someone is or whether they need a ride, I don't care who has died during the night (I can't do anything about that) and of course there are all of those wrong number calls at 2 am when the bars close. As a matter of routine, calls come in as you go about your daily activities. Calls from work can be most annoying - "where did you put the pencil sharpener?"

The onus is on the person being called to show restraint and send the call to voicemail if in a place where it is not appropriate to be talking to your aunt about uncle Merv's cat (in line at the bank, grocery shopping, in a theater etc). Clearly microwaves do fry the brains of cell phone users.

I absolutely love it when when someone using a phone falls into a fountain, smacks their face on a light pole or gets run over by the garbage truck. You have to know that those who catch a ride on the underside of a garbage truck have walked into a fountain/pole at least once before.

Even worse -In a grocery store, mom on the phone and two or more kids running up and down the aisles yelling and squeezing the Charmin. I live in a 3rd world country where kids are born with a cellphone velcro'd to their ear at birth. The entire society is beeping, ringing, clicking everywhere all the time. Noise cancelling headphones are a must on buses and I take a low power cellphone jammer to the restaurant to give me a 3 or 4 table buffer in all directions. Funny how no one sits near me anymore or gets up and moves when I sit down. ;-)

I have a high power jammer that I tried in the theater but it kind of defeats the purpose as every single screen in the place is illuminated as everyone asks the person next to them if they have a signal and tries to figure out why they don't, then the swearing starts...
