Here's my solution for that noisy cellphone user
How many times a week do you ride the bus or sit in a coffee shop or some other public place where some daft git (Canuck for asshole) feels its his/her right to let the rest of the world know how important they are by speaking so loudly on their cell phone that they are an embarrassment to everyone within 20 meters except themselves? I've always wondered how to let the person know what a jerk they are being, but lets' face it, other than the odd dirty look, most people, wanting to avoid a verbal or perhaps even physical confrontation, do nothing.
But then I found a post on CJ Writer's blog that very eloquently sums up my frustration and disgust with these ignorant gits. So what I have done is made a tiny URL of it and written it on a piece of paper that I have put in my wallet. The next time I come across one of these inconsiderate loudmouths, I'm going to give them the paper and say, "Since you use that brand of phone, I think you'll find some really interesting info about a different way to use it on this site."
Now of course, I'm neither young nor have a beard and chances are that the git was talking about something else other than his/her love life in a location other than the bus, but still, they should get the message. Since many of these offenders are 1/2 my age and usually look as though they are either rejects from the WWE or the local gangster population, I won't be all that anxious to run into them again. But if I do, I'm sure they'll thank me for pointing out their social faux pas. Or not?
I'm not worried about them retaliating against the blog's writer, C.J. Levinson, whom we have linked to before, because he is in Sydney Australia, 1/2 a world away from me.
