Survey reveals how rude some cell phone users are.

Post by froggyboy604 »

According to two surveys, one by Tellme and one by buzzd, cellphone users are doing some pretty atrocious stuff and thinking it's alright. The worst? Talking in a movie theater.

Here's what the tellme survey shows:

• 77% say they'd talk on their phones in a theater or a concert
• 71% say they'd use their phones in a restaurant

The rest, running errands (88%), waiting at an appointment (80%), walking (78%), visiting friends (68%) aren't so bad, but three out of four people would talk in a theater? Really? I don't want to be old man Chen, but kids these days! *shakes fist*

The buzzd one also says that 60% of cellphone users have drunk dialed, and 68% have drunk texted. I'd say drunk dialing is a much better offense than talking at a theater. A drunken hookup hurts at most two, maybe three people, depending on the circumstances. A cellphone conversation during Iron Man 2 affects everyone.

I don't like it when someone talks while I am watching a movie since I did not pay for a ticket to have someone talk while I am watching a movie.

hahaha, I have a funny story. I was watching a movie at the theater (twilight I think) and someone's phone went off and he answered it and started talking and someone near him got pissed off and took his phone and threw it at the closest wall and broke it. In the end they were both taken out of the movie theater. And the sad fact about it was, that cell phone fight was better then the movie.
