Cell Phone Jamming on the Rise
netbuzz writes "It shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone either, as the number of inconsiderate dolts who yammer away oblivious to the disruptions their yapping is causing those around them continues to rise. Pocket-sized cell jammers are becoming a hot item, while proprietors of restaurants and the like look to defend themselves as well. Yes it's illegal, but given that the rudeness is pretty close to criminal as well, it's unlikely to stop any time soon."
I do propose at some point the ubiquitous rude behavior on cell phones dictates some solution. I hope sooner rather than later.
I hear cattle prods are fairly effective. Oh sure, it briefly increases the noise level, but it's well worth it.
End of lesson. You may press the button.
don't forget that you also have the option to touch the offending cellphone with that cattle prod, too, for a longer term solution
Fortunately, there is 100% cell coverage by all carriers everywhere.
I really shouldn't have used someone else's email address for this account.
"can you hear me now, bitches?"
If you carry that jamming device in your front pocket you'll be saying that to your nutz sometime soon.
There are no 'norms' for behavior while on the phone. I see guys at urinals, talking to various people. I always mention, loudly, do you know this guy's calling you while peeing?
1) they have both hands busy, and therefore can't fight
2) if they do, they'll soil themselves
3) they have to immediately explain their actions to the called party.
People are terribly self-centered, and you'll never get around them. It's like the kilowatt jam speakers in people's car trunks, and how they'll rattle the dishes in an neighborhood. They can't hear the sound of my paintball gun over the tops of it-- and I'm sure of this. I hate to waste rounds, but the cars sure do look psychedelic when they pass thru my 'hood.

How is the inconsiderate person talking loudly on a cell phone worse than the inconsiderate person talking loudly to their friends? Maybe we don't need cell-phone jammers, just gags.
Oh, you're not stuck, you're just unable to let go of the onion rings.
