Your constant misogyny is getting *real* tired.

The article does raise a good point about cell-phones though
I have noticed that people are becoming more and more obsessed with the wretched things. People being waited on in stores or restaurants won't hang up their phone to talk to the people trying to wait on them. Rude in the extreme, says I.

But wait! There's more!
The other day in the train was a person conducting a moblie phpone conversation - on speakerphone. Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, it did.
I suppose, for the record, I should point out this was a 'useless b*st*rd' making the phonecall...

They're already around...
thanks to [link|http://three.com.au|3]. But mercifully, so far you have to use an earpiece when you're making video calls.

I have never done that.
I have speakerphone capability with my Treo and use it that way in the home office and in my office only after hours.
Speakerphone conversations are just as rude as cellphones in crowded rooms. I have a hands-free earbud which is very sensitive. I talk quietly and most times noone knows I'm on the phone.
This woman needed meds. Hanging up from a cellphone conversation is >understood< by the other party and not considered rude.
I consider scheduled business calls taken on the cellphone to be rude..especially if the other party doesn't ensure that he/she is somewhere with very clear signal and is moving.

Re: Your constant misogyny is getting *real* tired.
Well, I'm heartily sick of rude bitches and their phones and being forced to listen to their vapid conversations. The cellphone has revealed what everyone already knew about the vast mass of female humans (note that they don't count as women, those are all gone).

No you're not.
You're a throwback to a time when women knew their place, blacks were slaves or at most petrol station attendants, and children were beaten regularly whether they needed it or not.
