Why the hell do people leave their cell phones on during class. I think I have heard some moron's phone go off in about every class I have had this semester. Is it really that hard to turn it off before class starts or put it on silent ring mode.Its god damn distrupting to everyone. I feel better now. Carry on with your normal daily life. IP: Logged |

I had a teacher a year ago that would answer student's cell phones if they rang in class. She's say something like: Johnny Student can't talk right now, he's in class. Do you mind if he calls you back in about 20 minutes when class is over? Thanks."She was pretty light hearted about it. She didn't really get mad unless it happenend again. But it was amusing. I agree I hate when kids leave their phone on. What's worse is when they fucking answer it. It's bad enough they have it on, but to talk on it in the middle of fucking lecture is rude, not forgetful.

...Those crazy Canadians! Hey... is it really that much different from a grade school teacher "confinscating" toys from kids in class and "Not returning them until the end of the year"?
Even if it didn't really happen, Hussain, I'd like to see it happen to repeat offenders. -Chris IP: Logged |

Well the same thing still happens in movie theatres. The weird thing is that when the people who leave their cellphones on get yelled at, they actually manage to look offended.IP: Logged |

You would think that in a senior level college course, people would have figured that out by now, but I guess not. These are also the people who finally learn about the net send command in Win2k and think its totally cool to send a message to someone via their username. I on the other hand send it by there terminal name and the wonder who the fuck is sending them messages. IP: Logged |

I just started up my LAST (woo hoo!) fall term here at school. In every class atleast 2 or 3 people had their cellphone go off.Some professors react differently. Some will joke and continue on, others will fucking flip out. Most professors outline their rules in the course syllabus for cellphones. Normally I see the same people, from other classes I've had with them be the repeat offender. Like Clunky Shoe Girl, I've had her in so many god damn classes, I assume she passes them all by sucking dick because there isn't much going on in that head of hers. Clunky Shoe Girl (aside from always wearing loud clunky shoes), comes to class late, gets up about 4 times during class, giggles, laughes, and leaves early. She always makes sure that she disrupts the class constantly and in every class I've had with her, her cellphone rings some stupid song and she always answers it. BTW hussain I call Bullshit..

It happened three times Eod, once to a startac, once to a nokia 5190, and some mitsubishi phone. It wasn't pretty. BTW, this was in highschool, a Catholic PRIVATE SCHOOL. So it isn't out of the realm of possibility. IP: Logged |

Cell phones should be available to all classes, religions, and ethnic backgrounds. This is a basic civil liberty that we should fight to retain!

My feelings EXACTLY!
Except for high school kids of course, they don't count. I thought it was bad when they all had pagers, but cell phones, jeebus. I thought their spirits were supposed to be broken by the time they made it that far in school. What the hell is our educational system coming to anyway?

Nah. They should take them from the culprit and be given back when that particular model cellphone is very outdated and uncool. Like my nokia "the brick" 5110.  IP: Logged |

I, being the civic-minded person that I am (and wanting to change the topic in Psych from "What is the cause of morning wood?"), informally polled people at school about what a suitable response would be for those who are caught with ringing phones. By far, the most popular response was along the lines of "swift and immediate death". Same with people who talk during movies during the best goddamn parts. The lousy bastards.IP: Logged |

a few thingsall people with idiotic ring tones should be shot people who leave their cell phones on in class should be shot people who answer the cell phones in class should be shot multiple times in non-vital places people who leave cell phone on in theaters should be dragged into the street and shot as to not interrupt my movie people who answer cell phones in theaters should be dragged into the street and shot multiple times in non-vital places as to not interrupt my movie people who talk too loud on their cell phone, laugh on their cell phone, have arguments over their cell phone, or are just retarded teeny boppers who's mommy and daddy pay for their cell phone bills, that are in any proximity of me that i can hear/see them should be shot multiple times in non-vital area's everyone shot here should be shot in public and be shown as an example to others who might be stupid enough to want to follow these peoples corrupted and twisted paths in life.

Well at work the "cellphone-etiquette" seems to be catching on: People put their cellphones off or on silent during meetings.Also, starting Januari 1st 2002, it will be illegal here to use a cellphone while driving, unless you have a hands-free set or an earphone. I hope they ruthlessly enforce it. The number of (usually) female drivers calling while driving and not paying any attention is simply amazing. What the hell is so important it can't wait?

The day after my accident, I watched a woman run a red light at 35mph while talking on a cell phone. I also take a class where it is guaranteed that at least four phones with really obnoxious musical rings will go off in someone's purse during the talk. Each time a table of women will sit around looking at each other trying to figure out who owns the ringing phone and then someone will scrabble in their bag, grab the phone and answer it right there. Then they scurry out into the hallway to finish the call. There are 130 people sitting at tables in a crowded room so you can imagine that this is just a tad obvious. We get a break every two hours. WHY IS IT SO HARD TO LET VOICE MAIL ANSWER?? God. Before cell phones, you'd wait 8 hours to get a message when you got home. Why is it so urgent to take a call right then and there? Grr. I say anal rape with the offending phone (antenna must be extended where applicable) for all violators. -Bex
