Cell Phone Jamming on the Rise

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the jerks-ruin-it-for-everyone dept.

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'm a sysadmin and she's a surgeon and we're both on call basically 24/7

    No, you choose to be on call. Big difference. You are not that important, really, you're not.

    I applaud you for using your phone sensibly. You might be one of the good guys. But still, if I ever find you in the seat next to me (or more generally, within arms reach) in a movie theater and your phone rings you are out of a phone.

    I don't buy your argument about the kid that desperately tries to contact you. Let them contact the hospital, there are other qualified people there. You are not the center of the universe. Deal with it.
