    This is bad... some people just forget they live in a society and forgets some things like politeness and not-being-an-annoying-prick.
    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...

    @Bokusatsu_Tenshi: Holy crap, I'm with you 100% on the music thing.I don't know why, but they are NEVER listening to good music. I suppose obnoxious people have horrible taste.
    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)

    If i'm texting in a movie, I turn the screen's brightness down as far as it goes, but what I really hate is people who shout during the movie, something about it.

    What about people who text in theaters - movie or performance. You can see them thinking "no big deal - I'm not talking" but those bright screens are really annoying to anyone sitting behind them.
    And people talking on the phone in PUBLIC bathrooms is just plain strange.

    I would not talk in a theater, and if I got a call in a restaurant I would excuse myself and go outside

    @berky93:
    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. :/

    @berky93: The worst is when people text in theaters. I'll see about 20 screens blaring during any given movie. What the hell could possibly be more important that you can't even put your cell away for an hour and a half?
    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?

    What are the odds that a jury of my peers would find me guilty of murder for bludgeoning some fucking asshole to death because he was talking on his cell phone during 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 ...

    i wonder though if the 77% is people talking on the phone before a movie starts. I see a lot of that, but I only occasionally see someone talking on the phone during the movie. And when they do I throw popcorn at them, just the un-buttered ones..I don't want to waste good buttered popcorn.

    @dimsum4u: I admit, I have much different opinions on talking in the theater and talking during the movie. During the slides and everything? Totally fine, nothing to hear anyway. During the trailers? You're pushing it, but you're trying to help your buddy who's getting popcorn find your seat, I get it. Cool, just keep it quiet and make it fast.
    Once the first logo goes up, though, if you have to take a call, take it outside.
