After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a very loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train. Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long very boring meeting.
No, honey; not with that blonde from the accounts office, with the boss.
No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart"
Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him had enough and leaned over and said into the phone, "Eric, turn that phone off and come back to bed."
Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, But rather to skid in sideways, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, Screaming "WHOO HOO What A Ride"

Showed this to my wife and she said maybe we ought to consider trying it. We can't figure out why the people that use cell phones in public think they have to practically yell on their cell phone and bother everybody there. Between people yelling on their cell phones and obnoxious, loud and out of control kids, we almost hate to go out in public anymore unless we have to.

the loud and out of control kids part is no joke! I've told parents to control their children while they scream and yell and the parents don't even acknowledge them or just laugh about it, especially at a restaurant

Don't know which bothers me more, people trying to impress on the phone "Hi Bob, Sam here, just finished the Smith deal, Yeah about 34 million, be a nice commission"
Or the female above who thinks they get on a commuter vehicle and the world should go silent so they can sleep. Sleep in your house, not in public. In general the world is getting ruder while peole are becoming more self centered.

The one that really gets me is the guy who walks into the public restroom talking loudly on the phone and does his business while on the phone. I do my best to be loud and create bathroom appropriate sound effects if you know what I mean. I have sent many bathroom callers a running with some splaining to do.

I commute from Fort Worth to Dallas on the train. I hear that same conversation nearly every week from people talking too loud into their phones. They will talk forever so I just bring head phones now on my commute and wear them whether or not I am listening to anything.
