If the gym is any indication the biggest yappers on cell phones on planes would be women over the age of 50.
Why not limit phones to text only?
Where do we sign up to stop theater phone usage?
11:10 Your suggestion makes sense therefore regulators cannot consider it. 95%of the cell phone conversations that I am subjected to in public are complete just jaw flapping by the users
Remember the scene at the airport in Planes, Trains and Automobiles when Steve Martin was standing at the car rental counter and the 'attendant' was yapping away on her phone? That is precisely where we're going with this thing.
"If the gym is any indication the biggest yappers on cell phones on planes would be women over the age of 50."
That's precisely the group who send the other customers fleeing the comfy service waiting area at the Lexus dealership, too. Drives the sales staff crazy, because people waiting for their cars have to migrate over into the sales area seating, to get away from the screeching late-fifties/early-sixties Mamaws on their cell phones. Sorry, but I can't tolerate a blaring television AND a screaming Mamaw, and, apparently, I'm hardly alone.
The moral of 1:10's story is "Don't buy a frackin Lexus".
Buy a Volvo or a Cube Car. In the waiting area everybody's reading Northside Sun or Herb Gardening.
