What should we do to people who talk loudly on mobile phones in the public?

Urban Ranger · January 28, 2003, 14:10

These people are really annoying. I don't want to know details of their private lives.

What will be a fitting punishment?

Caligastia · January 28, 2003, 14:11

Public flogging.

hey I like to talk loudly on cell phones in public!

You got a problem with it!

Japher · January 28, 2003, 14:35

I generally talk back to them like they are talking to me. I also talk loudy to them as it seems they are hard of hearing. It really irks them for some reason? It was an honest mistake!

take that phone and stick it up their *****

Serb · January 28, 2003, 14:37

Burn them on stick.

Boris Godunov · January 28, 2003, 14:57

Shoot them dirty looks. That's about all anyone can do.

SpencerH · January 28, 2003, 14:57

Its called cell yell. Try joining in with the conversation. Why shouldnt you, they seem to be trying to include you anyway?

kill em

MichaeltheGreat · January 28, 2003, 17:10

Send 'em to Iraq to be used as human shields.

Japher · January 28, 2003, 17:16

Another way to get them is to pull the classic "I am a stupid idiot" act on them.

Just start to mime them, and say everything they say right after they say it adding the phrase "in bed" afterwards, and giggle.

chairmanmeow · January 28, 2003, 17:21

HANG THEM!!!

DaShi · January 28, 2003, 17:22

I thought this was a Boddington's thread.

I wish Billy Mays would sell some sort of cell phone jamming product on infomercials. I'd like to interfere with peoples' calls.

mrboo123 · January 28, 2003, 18:05

Put them on a "Reality" TV show on Fox.

Japher · January 28, 2003, 18:13

Check out this jamming device!

hehe

Sava · January 28, 2003, 18:15

that's BS man, I want one for $19.95... BUT WAIT CALL NOW AND GET THIS NEAT LEATHER CASE AND A HANDS FREE ADAPTER!

Lord Merciless · January 28, 2003, 18:19

Listen for potential confidential information and steal their identities.

My sister once resorted to getting out a pen and paper and taking notes on his conversation. He moved elsewhere on the train and continued talking loudly.

Pekka · January 28, 2003, 18:43

well, you can always steal the phone afterwards, then make few bomb threats with it and claim to be against capitalism and western society, I bet he won't be talking to that phone anytime soon again.

I'd try that, but the military would probably drop a bomb on me.

Pekka · January 28, 2003, 19:59

and that's why you won't leave the man out of your sight, because you put the phone back in his pockey/bag right after calling..

Urban Ranger · January 28, 2003, 22:18

Good ideas.

A friend of mine did that once. She said it was very effective.

Hey, I am not talking on cellphones. I'm talking to myelf.

Jack_www · January 28, 2003, 23:34

I heard in Japan they have cell phone Jammers, so you cant even use the damn things while you are in a threater or were ever they have the jammers. I really never understood why people come to class in Collage and have their cell phones on, why cant they just turn them off and they can check for messages after the class is over.
