Never had that happen, had people using profanity near kids though. Normally just pointing out the kids gets a, "Oh, sorry man. My bad."

just get on your phone, make an imaginary call and say "hey, what's up... (pause)...oh not much, just standing next to some dumbass talking really loud on his cell phone. (pause) Yeah, exactly, one of those people who thinks his conversations are so damn impressive that he feels everyone wants to hear it. (Pause) Well, got to go..'you know who' is looking at me."

Haha... I was studying outside of my school's library when this guy standing about 10 feet from me gets a phone call. He's having a little conversation, then he starts saying stuff like "No, I'm serious! I'm not kidding! I'm telling the truth!" et cetera, over and over again. I'm trying to study, and it's starting to get really distracting, so I'm pretty pissed off. I get up, walk over to him, and yell into the phone, "HE'S NOT FUCKING KIDDING, now get off the damned phone and let me study."

I hate the ones that are walking around talking on the cell phone, with the person on the other end apparently directing their actions.
See it at the supermarket all the time. People get a list, or bring your brain errr friend with you. Meanwhile the cell phoner is walking up and down the aisle deep in conversation looking for what their controller is telling them to get, oblivious to every other shopper. |

this actually happened to me at work today. I was sitting in a vacant conference room on my break reading "state of fear" and this bitch comes in yapping on her fucking phone. I will not say as to what I wanted to do, but you can imagine...
People have no respect, even when I looked over at her she just smiled back. I got up and left and slammed the door.

Yeah, I leaned forward and cupped my hand behind my ear to give him no uncertain clue that I was listening.
He said, "Do you mind, this is a private conversation."

Me and my then girl friend where at a local mall where this guy was doing that rude shit. Well after a while we relized he was talking to his g/f. So we got with in range and she (my g/f) started yelling at me to come back ( Come back here baby I want you to do that thing to me again) or some shit like that. Any way the guys g/f on the other end thought my g/f was some girl he was seeing behind her back. I think we ruined that relationship there.

From an observer's standpoint:
What is the difference between Dude#1 talking on a cell to Dude#2 versus talking to him in person? Either way the observer is not involved in the conversation, but psychologically the guy on the cell phone is having a conversation with someone whom the observer cannot hear and that is the real issue here - most people hate hearing only one side of the conversation... |

Actually, most people hate either side of another party's conversations. |

then why do they only complain about cell phones, why not all conversation that does not involve them? let's say we are at starbucks hanging out having a covnersation - do the observers get mad at us? (besides the homey chinese guy) |

+1 I was going to post something like this. There seems to be some sort of bias against cellphones for some reason. Just like you said how is it different from a loud obnoxious person talking to someone beside them, or talking to a cell phone. Just like driving people have something against using a cellphone while driving, yet its more rare to hear people talking about people who drive and try anbd eat, put on makeup, shave, read the paper, etc.. It's always cellphone, cellphone, cellphone. Kinda like how noone seems to care when 8 people get stabbed by someone, but if the get SHOT, it's all "guns are bad..." Let me make it clear I am not defending unsafe drivers or rude people, just don't single out the ones on cellphones. |

No, its when loud obnoxious cell phone user is standing RIGHT BEHIND YOU and says HEY ! HOW YA DOIN ?!?! and when you turn around they point and silently mouth "CELL PHONE". After that several times I began to hate all "loud obnoxious cell phone users".

I do if they're being loud about it. Just yesterday I was at a restaurant with my buddy, shooting the breeze. These 3 chicks walk in talking etc. One of their cell phones goes off, she answers it, and proceeds to talk at twice her conversational volume...
 I couldn't hear my buddy because she was talking so loud! This was a decent restaurant.I cocked my head to the side and started loudly saying "WOW, THAT'S FASCINATING" or "YOUR LIFE IS INCREDIBLE"... Her friends tried to get her to talk lower after that. They likely thought I was a jerk but frankly, I do not care. They were being rude, not me. I've also made loud farting noises in the bathroom when I knew someone was talking on their cell phone in the john... Just so the other party knew beyond the shadow of a doubt where they were ...

I usually say in a loud voice, "Can you hear me NOW??"
I like the idea of leaning forward with your hand cupped behind your ear. That would work well in the conference room scenario. |

I don't like loud people as a general rule. Has nothing to do with a cell phone. Loud idiots are just loud idiot. Ever sit in a restaraunt and have a whole group of people sitting at a table a ways off and you can hear one person above all of them. That pisses me off too.
I don't mind people using cell phones in a public place, just keep it where i can't hear it. It has nothing to do with disciminating against cell phone users, its disciminating against loud obnoxiuos fuckers. |

Egg-ZACKLY! I just join in the conversation..if they have the gall to ask me WTF, I just reply that "Well, since you were shouting in public I figured you wanted everyone to join in.....ASSHOLE!" ETA: As far as the "only hearing one side is what's truly annoying" crowd: I, for one, do not want to hear either side of a conversation...that includes person-to-person....if you're in a public place, like a restaurant, you have a social oblgation to keep your volume level down so that it doesn't intrude on anyone else's space. If you choose to do otherwise, you are tacitly implying that you consider yourself more important than others around you and/or you WANT the attention. Now, the only thing worse than cellphones: Assholes with Nextel service. Now you get to hear BOTH idiots shout at each other with the added zest of the annoying little beep tone....

My wife used to raise her voice when she talks on the cell phone (drove me nuts).
I asked her why she talks so loud on the phone. Her reply was that she cannot hear. I turned her phone up for her and now she talks normally (just way to much ).

I run into this all the time while grocery shopping. Its not the conversation that bothers me so much, its the idiots who park their carts in the middle of the aisle while talking. So, I usually grab a banana as I get into the market and start shopping. When I run across these people, I usually just park my cart to block their's and start repeating what they say, using the banana as my phone. As soon as they notice me and look up, I ask "Lot's of rude and ignorant people out shopping today, ain't there?". They usually look around and finally notice how they have blocked everyone and they just can't seem to get away fast enough.
Then, I go looking for my GF. She knows enough to scoot to another aisle when she sees someone on their cell phone. You'd think she learn to stop taking me grocery shopping with her. |
