Irritating Cell Phones
By Emanuel Molho

Cell phone (ab)users: unconscious, disrespectful, discourteous
and obnoxious. Public transportation and areas; doctors' offices;
theaters; restaurants; checkout lines; just about everywhere.
In their own dream world walking in the street, or "driving"
their cars. Their business, everyone's business. Unable to bear
silence or be by, or with, themselves for a moment. Totally oblivious
to---and inconsiderate of---their neighbors.
Cell phones will be as ubiquitous in airplanes as they are in
places where we are all held captive. These addicts ought to
be relegated to their own soundproof cabin, compelled to suffer
one another's inanities. For the entire flight.
I, and hopefully those who share these feelings, will give our
business to the airlines that have the sense to ban them.
