About I Hate Cellphones In Public Places!

Ever been on a train and had someone on the LEFT of you speakiing loudly into their cellphone and someone on the RIGHT of you speaking loudly into their cellphone and someone in FRONT of you speaking loudly into their cellphone and someone BEHIND you speaking loudly into their cellphone? Or on a bus when HALF the riders seem to be talking nonstop in their cellphones? Or in a restaurant, where all you wanted was to have a civilized meal, but, instead, you were ASSAULTED by someone's hideous life story ... in Spanish ... or Armenian ... or Russian ... or Farsi ... or ... or ... or .... And what about gyms? At mine, it seems like there are several members who come for no other purpose than to talk incessantly on their cellphones. I'm stuck on the treadmill for 30 minutes and have to ENDURE someone's endless rant. And some of them have it on SPEAKER, so you have to hear BOTH sides of the dreary conversation, with the other side sounding tinny like two tin cans connected by wire. In some ways it's like the Chinese water torture, plip, plop, plip, plop, plip, plop ... it goes on and on and on and on and you find yourself wondering if you will lose your sanity before you go, apologies to dedicated postal clerks nationwide, "postal!"

So let's capture shots of some of these foul-mannered idiots ... NOT to celebrate their lunancy but to shine a harsh light on their selfishness. These are people who feel that THEIR endless chatter is more important than OUR solitude.

These should be shots that YOU'VE taken, not shots of Brittany Spears driving with her child in her lap and a cellphone pressed aganst her ear. No, definitely NOT web shots! Let's show these selfish culprits who disrupt YOUR life with their damned cellphones!
