In Japan, there are cellphone rules/laws for everything... and it's kinda sad that it had to come down to that.
Here in Brazil things are starting to look bad. I'm getting pissed off with people in overcrowded buses and other public transportation means listening to crappy music with their crappy cellphone with the crappy speakers turn up as loud as it's able to.
Unfortunately, this will only change the day someone gets killed in a fist fight because of it... things in Brazil only works that way.
I'm only hoping I'm not the one being arrested for punching some loud unpolite idiot in the face...

But seriously people, consider the options:
- buy an actual mp3 player
- get some friggin headphone
- turn up the volume only so high that you can hear it and not the whole bus (holding the speaker close to your face as opposed to your lap will aid this process)

And people talking on the phone in PUBLIC bathrooms is just plain strange.

Same here. I always have my phone on me, it's always turned on, except in hospitals. It's always set to vibrate, and if I have to take a call, I excuse myself.
I have pulled it out and flipped it open at dinner when someone was calling... then pressed the "end" button to send it to voicemail.
Taking an unimportant call in the company of others basically sends the message that the people you're with aren't as important as whatever's coming in, but a lot of people don't seem to think about the message they send in doing so. :/

Sometheaterguy: hey, what are you doing right now? theaterguy's friend: watching a movie. Sometheaterguy: me too! lol.
Why can't people just shut out the world and relax while watching a movie?

My guess is slim to none.
I honestly can't picture a scenario where people would find my offense unwarranted. In fact, I envision a scenario where I am given a key to the city, women throw themselves at me, children lay flowers at my feet, and I am given meat and mead to feast upon until the end of days.
The delusional architecture is strong in this one ...

Once the first logo goes up, though, if you have to take a call, take it outside.

- I had a girlfriend in NYC back in '02 who answered her phone...while I was inside of her!
08/06/09
What was more rude?
Her answering the phone?
or
Your performance?

Or fail. Depends on how you look at it.

Took him a brief moment, and he just nodded, "Yeah... ok."
