Holy crap I want one of these so I can take it on the train with me every single day. In fact, I want to take it everywhere I go all the time.I freaking hate them all. My friend Ivey calls me from the road when she's on her way over, and she always starts a whole conversation. I'm like you're going to BE HERE in 20 minutes! To hang out and chat

I sympathize. But I'm always sure that if I did something like that, I would be the cause of a guy not getting the message that there was a kidney waiting for him if he could get to the hospital within 20 minutes, or some mother not getting to say goodbye to her teenaged daughter, tragically killed in a motorcycle crash, because she didn't get the message in time.

Me? A catastrophic mindset? What do you mean?

They'd never get the message anyway, because they'd be talking to loudly on their phones about some other bullshit to someone else and they'd never get the call.

Is it bad that I'm aroused? I'm going to see a movie tonight and would love one of these.

Not by my book. I have a serious hardon for this technology. It's better than throwing hard candies at teens in theaters as far as I'm concerned.

The after-action report:

No obnoxious cell phone behavior during the movie. Yay. This was a packed Indiana Jones theater, so I was impressed.

However-comma, a seat kicker was behind me, requiring the half-turn and equal-and-opposite-reaction forceful retribution. Alas. Long live DVDs on my home TV.

I'm glad I have an ally in you, O great one. :)

DEATH TO SEAT KICKERS. I've become so incensed at bad movie behavior! I YELL at them now. I tell them all exactly what they're doing wrong and that they'll be taken out. WITH DEATH. Okay, not with death. But I MEAN WITH DEATH. AND THEY KNOW IT.
