Alas, that is a distinct possibility. Bees seem to be disoriented through the signals and can't find their way back to the hive.

Yes. I guess the cell phones merely provide a new excuse for the rudeness that's already there. Perhaps they have also provided a brand new rudeness outlet for people who would not have had one. By the way: Keep up the good work, Consumatron.
this guy is so true. i hate it when a guy is talking on blue-tooth and i think hes talking 2 me. and i start talking and he blows me off or looks at me like im ugly betty or something
Hang up the damn phone in stores,coffee places, grocery stores, post offices, libraries! WE DON'T WANT TO HEAR YOUR STUPID CONVERSATIONS!5 star video.
Would it help if a person speaks to the other via speakerphone? Wouldn't that be the same as if two people were talking near you, and that you don't find annoying?
It's only annoying if the conversation between the two people disrupts the interaction between customer and counter person, thus holding up the line. It's not the phone use that I find annoying. It's the lack of respect and ability to break from the phone use to take part in every day interaction with the people around you.
Cell phones can be a great tool and are invaluable for emergencies, but there's a reason I keep mine off while doing business. It's rude and arrogant to blather incessantly on your cell phone while talking with others, and it's entirely unnecessary. There isn't a cell company out there that doesn't offer voice mail. Good video!
I agree with your general principal... people shouldn't be asses. There is a TV commercial running lately where a young 20 something is all valleyed up and in a tiff because her super mega coffee has lemon grass in it instead of wheat grass... is there such a thing?
In any way I don't run into that problem because I have figured out how to make my breakfast, lunch and dinner at home... plus coffee.
I've never heard of lemongrass in coffee, but lemongrass chicken or beef dishes are usually fantastic. Yes. I too have learned how to make several things at home... though I have not learned how to be home often enough to do so as often as I would like.
YES!!! I vote for smacking the phone out of his hand and the smashing the living shit out of it, and then making HIM clean it up!!!! YEAH!!! take that you RUDE FUCKS!!! Put the phone down and interact like a civilized human being!!!
speaking of subway... The subway (the underground kind) used to be the one place where people couldn't talk on their cell phones, but now they've wired the tunnels so some cell providers can receive signals. Great for emergencies. Horrible for early morning rides to work.
U got a clear,to-the-point style. Great piece for CIVIL RIGHTS EDUCATION. Why not try other necessary themes like, car parking (don't know in America where there's lots of space but here in the Old World people should be aware of parking well otherwise they f*** others' chance of doing so)
i don't drive a car and think that more urban citizens should ditch theirs, so that probably wouldn't be a good one for me to cover. You should try your hand at it though.
"man, i used to bank where all of the day traders banked.

Well, I can't recommend "smacking the man's phone out of his face" - but I do agree his behaviour shows a total lack of consideration for others. Why do people think we want to hear their conversation anyway? I also get irritated when people play their MP3 players or Ipods too loudly. They don't realise that they are making themselves deaf - so keep needing to turn it up louder!!!

I know right....its even worse when youre stuck in traffic and the buttmunch in front of you wont keep up with the flow of the already slow monving traffic because he's laughin with someone on the phone.....ideots...
using cell phones while driving is illegal in Chicago, yet hardly anyone gets pulled over for it. I've seen so many accidents because of people yapping while driving. It makes me so angry.
I know a guy who has a sticker that's themed on the "Visualize World Peace" phrase. It reads, "Visualize World Me Cramming That Cellphone Up Your A**". :-)
Bang on Sir! Love the writing as well... getting called Poindexter in your moment of triumph. Then again being Englsih I'm what being called Poindexter means, but hearing it reffered to on Simpsons and more I got a little idea.... anyway, ramble over.
chops busting is good. I'll try on the forced thing... but I'm no actor... it's all off the top of my head most of the time, so in one way or another, i really mean it.
Good thinking Point Dexter :) Without being rude, he should have served you and ignore the impolite bastard. *I own a cell phone... and it would never occur to me to act like that; because I'm civilized!*
alllllllll slang. i swear peaple on this wbsite just look for anyting to leave negetive ffedback about. stop being insecure and go make do something else.
People walking and talking on cell phones expect other people to move out of their way, like they are parting the sea somehow with their divine conversation. I like to stand still in my tracks when they are headed straight for me. So far I have not been hit, and it's nice to see their faces when they notice the world around them, if only for a moment.
Another good tactic is to follow them closely and loudly start to respond to everything they say. Then when they stop to ask you what you were doing, tell them that you thought they were talking to you since they were walking right toward you.
How true!!! I totally agree! I mean... How many times has someone almost hit you on your way to work just because they wouldn't put their dadgum phone down?!
Thanks. It amazes me that people watch the videos on youtube of people who just ramble on. My rule is, if you don't have something to talk about for a minute every day, you aren't paying attention. If you feel that you should talk to strangers about it for longer than one minute, you also aren't paying attention.
