Cell Phones In The Air?
jumbledInTheHead writes "Are you ever annoyed when someone near you talks unnecessarily loud on their cell phone? Or even worse, when it is in a tight, enclosed space and you can't walk away? The problem is about to get worse the next time you take a flight; the FAA is considering removing the ban on cell phone use on airlines."
thats because it's just random noise - half a conversation. You will be intrigued despite yourself to know what the replies are. A full conversation, although irritating, makes sense to your ear and thus can be tuned out.
