O/T: Gotta Love It
On Wed, 30 Dec 2009 18:11:10 -0800 (PST), the infamous Robatoy

I knew immediately what he was looking for ~ the ATM. THREE TIMES he walked right by it and then had to asked the cashier if there was an ATM on the premises. I use a cell phone for the occasional outgoing call only. The rest of the time it's turned off. As far as I'm concerned, cell phones do more than just distract people. They sap 50% of one's mental prowess. That's the only way I can explain some of the idiots I see attempting to walk and talk on the cell phone at the same time. And have you heard? The newest affliction is carpal tunnel syndrome of the arm that people are getting from holding the cell phone to the ear for too long a period. One of these days I am going to jam one of those BlueTooth ear-phone devices in the asshat's ear.

scrawled the following: In article , Larry Blanchard wrote: I missed the original post but the above reprint makes me wonder. How did we ever build the Empire State Building, Hoover Dam, the Panama Canal, etc. before the advent of cell phones - or any phones in some cases? Slower. Before the telegraph cables were laid across the Atlantic, how did governments communicate between Europe and North America? Slower. Cell phones and email just allow us to share information faster. As for the "cell phones while driving" sub thread, we have the "fine and points" law going into effect here Jan 1. Personally, I'd rather have the right to mount high energy lasers or surface to surface missiles in my vehicle and simple take out most of the assholes on the road, That's my preference, too. but the courts here seem to not want to deal with grey areas like "driving without due care and attention" so our lawmakers are having to give the cops specific, non-negotiable offence to deal with the dip****s on the road. Well, at least they're starting to take care of it. I went into a MANN theater several years back and the girl introducing the movie (not a normal thing in most theaters) asked everyone to pull out their phones. She gave them a few seconds and then asked them to turn them completely off so everyone else could enjoy the movie. She explained that she said "OFF" because she knew that when they were set to "vibrate", the nice cell owner would take the call and be talking all the way out to the lobby. That got some really loud applause from us folks who didn't use cell phones. I just wish that happened at every theater and gathering. Here the joke is "young woman on a cell phone in a Sunfire", except is ISN'T a joke. The bonus is that they're most of who I see in the ditch when we get a bit of blowing snow and icy roads. That's kinda satisfying, isn't it? I still want my lasers... You betcha! How about side-aimed lasers under the car to take out the tires on a car you're passing who held up the line 30-deep on a 2-lane highway? -- Sex is Evil, Evil is Sin, Sin is Forgiven.

I wouldn't want to work for the kind of guy who has to call me on the cell phone instead of yelling across the office "Hey, Clarke, get in here". God I hate the boss' who are so important that they feel the need to scream stuff down the hall to subordinates so that everyone else has to hear him yell down to Clarke 12 times a day... I wouldn't want to work the the guy that has to contact me 12 times a day no matter the method. I'm considering in our shop banning cell phones during work hours because they are becoming a distraction. Amen. When the boss is talking to the same employee 12 times a day then he's doing something wrong, and that employee is getting precious little work done due to all the time being wasted on the boss. I remember one place I worked there was a daily meeting to keep the boss apprised of progress. The meeting ostensibly was an hour and involved the entire programming staff. The boss didn't understand the concepts of "secretary" and "schedule" and "salesman" and so took every call that came into the business herself--that meeting ended up dragging on for half the day. Every day. But of course it was all _our_ fault that nothing got done. That's when you take a pad and pencil and note all the distractions, daily. Hand it to him when he rails on you or the staff for not getting things done. -- Sex is Evil, Evil is Sin, Sin is Forgiven. Gee, ain't religion GREAT? |

Around here, they have a different way of dealing with cell phones and conversation in a movie theater. They turn the volume up so high that you would have to yell to be heard.

Back when I was a kid, about 1956, a friend's mother drove us to the movies one afternoon. We had to sit in the back seat and were not allowed to talk while she drove. While I strongly am against driving distracted, the radio is on most all the time, I've eaten a burger or breakfast sandwich if traffic allows a couple of times a year. Most important, I keep one hand on the wheel at all times. Well, a few fingers from one hand at all times. |

Funny thing is that on a long drive you are probably more attentive and less accident-prone if you have some snacks and a slurp of coffee or something while you are driving. Except in dense traffic areas driving does not engage anything like a majority of your cognitive functions, so the mind tends to wander. I am much more attentive in light, open-road travel if I am talking to someone than if I am just watching the dotted lines go by. It's not as simple as everyone wants to make it....
