I've had it With Cell Phone Users

Im in the store today in the dairy section waiting patiently to get a gallon of milk. A woman with a cell phone tucked between her ear and shoulder yacking away while texting with ANOTHER phone? WTH!
I wanted to her. I dont have a problem with folks using them while shopping but no excuse to be rude. And drivers using them while driving...dont get me started.

 

Didn't get enough sleep last night?

 

LOL!!! I waited till she walked away but was just floored she had TWO phones and using them at once!

Of course Walmart is always an adventure, cell phone users or not!

 

Folks is these days...

 

Ohio just made it a primary offense now, which means they can pull you over and ticket you just for using the phone...up to $500 and 90 days license suspension. (hands free devices are ok)

I have 2 cell phones, a personal one and one for work. I would bet dollars to donuts that her texting was for work and the one to her ear was personal. I know in manufacturing, when you have a work phone, the boss expects you to be available all the time in some form. And if you are the boss, that goes double (because their director expects them to be available, as well as if their employees have issues).

 

Did that here too. Didn't help too much though.

 

Makes sense. I didnt think of that.

 

Hey BRAD be careful , the fine for using a flip phone is double if caught driving while using it.

Coworker just got a ticket last week for being on the phone , first time offense was $200

 

I'm one of those stuck w/ 2, work and personal. It's not fun but required. Promise I'm not the type to do that kind of stuff though.
And I could only wish they'd crack down on phone usage while driving more.

 

X2...especially texting.

 

I avoid Walmart. I hear you on the cell phone thing though. Super annoying!

 

I work in a high school. Parent comes in looking for administration because they have an issue. They want to talk to them NOW. You have to text to find administration. While they are waiting (not patiently), they are texting their child in the classroom and getting annoyed even more when the child doesn't answer. Duh! no cell phones to used by students in the classroom.
There is no patience anymore. Instant gratification of request of information or your attention when not met is treated with rudeness and belligerence.

 

Amen to that. You hit the nail on the head right there,

 

All you have to do is sit in any parking lot and watch how many peeps who cannot walk 20' unless they have their faces buried in their phones. I have seen them trip over curbs, walk smack into sign posts and light standards and right into the side of moving vehicles. SMART PHONE ZOMBIE"S are taking over the world

 

Isn’t it crazy how stuff our parents & culture would have NEVER tolerated a decade or two ago are now so common place in society.

 

I can just imagine what one of the adults in my life ( parents, grandparents,Aunts, Uncles, etc.)growing up would have done to me if I ever ignored someone because I was looking at a cellphone.
