Yapping in the Air

NO NO NO, Please for the love of Gawd, don’t allow this to fester into our domestic airlines!

This was our last safe haven, free from blow hards yelling into their phones. What are we to do if this continues?! I do not want to see “Cell Phone Free” Bars (a la Oxygen Bars (yeah, WTF)), because I know I’ll throwing an effing fit if I see one of those.

Really though, must we be connected 24/7? Why must you have your phone available to you in the airplane. I took such relief knowing that we’re ‘still afraid that using our cell phones in the airplane while flying would make the plane crash‘.

Because, uh, yes. That will happen! Don’t even turn your phone on! No! Don’t do it!

Now only if we could translate the same fear into bastards at movie theaters.

New Pre-Movie Cell Phone Message: “Please turn off your cell phones, if you don’t you’ll end up grunting it out your sphincter!!”

Yeah, but imagine keeping the GPS on and once every 20 minutes dodgeballing from your GPS coordinates.

That would be awesome. Also, instant messaging would make the flight to Idaho take no time at all.

Apollo: Hey, man. I’m on approach. You hungry?
Jay Def: You bet, man. On my way.

@apollo: Okay… I can see the benefit in that. Lets turn on data, just no voice.

UGH. The absolute last thing I want to have to deal with on a flight is a bunch of people yapping away on their phones. As if they don’t do it anyway right before takeoff and right after landing.

There’s an independent movie theater here in Austin called the Alamo Drafthouse. (You can eat dinner and drink alcohol while you’re watching a movie!) Anyway, before every movie they have their own previews before the real previews. Right before the real previews they give their own warning with a funny film clip, usually a B movie with a bunch of people getting killed, saying “Turn off your cell phones, or we’ll take your ass out!”

@caitlin: I swear I hear some even doing it in the air, and I do admit I’m a little white knuckled when they do, I’m a little afraid something will happen to the plane if they talk on the phone while they are in the air.

@alexis: I would love to be on the staff of that place so I can enjoy telling everyone to turn off thier phone. And feeling the warmth of my smile from the satisfaction of getting to kick someone out.

I agree with Apollo. Give me the data!!!

Internets makes everything better.
