Cell phones on planes ... this could be an actual conversation
Goodbye, Peace And Quiet: Hello, Phone Calls On Planes?
Window seat 737 row 8: Cell phone passenger # 1: [speaking loudly]: "I'm on a plane!"
Middle seat: Cell phone passenger # 2: [speaking loudly]: "Speak up! The guy next to me is shouting into his phone!"
Row seat [women with baby]: Cell phone passenger # 3: [speaking loudly]: "The guy shouting next to me woke up the baby! I can't hear you!"
Row seat: Cell phone passenger # 4: [speaking even louder]: "There's a screaming baby in my ear! Can't hear you!"
Comment: I would rather have snakes on a plane!
Loud cellphone talkers next bane of air travelers?
ReplyDeleteAirline passengers have already been stripped of their legroom, hot meals and personal space. Now, they might also lose their silence.
The Federal Communications Commission is considering lifting its longtime prohibition on making cellphone calls on airplanes, saying it is time "to review our outdated and restrictive rules."
But for many passengers, that would mean the elimination of one of the last sanctuaries from our hyper-connected world. Everybody wants the ability to stay connected while traveling, but nobody wants to be trapped next to some guy yapping away during the entire trip from New York to Las Vegas.
"The only way I'd be in favor of this is if the FCC mandated that all those who want to use their cellphones must sit next to families with screaming children," said frequent flier Joe Winogradoff.
My solution .... quietly open a jar of peanuts and spill it in the aisle!
