Cell Phone Etiquette

After a very busy day, Peggy settled down in her seat and closed her eyes as the train departed Manhattan for the 'burbs.
As the train rolled out of the station, one last jumped on the train and got the last seat — right next to Peggy.
Naturally, he pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice.
"Hi sweetheart, it's Eric! ... I'm on the train — yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting ... No, honey, not with that floozie frrom the accounts office, with the boss. No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life — yes, I'm sure, cross my heart," etc., etc.
It was nauseating. And no matter how much Peggy glared at him, cleared her throat, or otherwise tried to express her disapproval over his rudeness, he completely ignored her.
Fifteen minutes later, she got an idea. She leaned in close to him and said in her most sensual, pouty voice aimed right at his phone:
"Hey, Eric, sweetie! Turn off that stupid phone and come back to bed!"
Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.
 
I did something very similar many years ago when I worked down in Venezuela.

Four of us lived in a large rented house and were going out for dinner one night except that one guy was on the phone talking to his wife. He just went on and on and on. Getting tootally frustrated waiting for him I shouted, "Come on Mike, the girls are waiting, get off that damned phone". That's when I found out that his wife had absolutely no sense of humor. For the rest of our month hitch she kept calling up at all times of the night and day. I thought it was hilarious but then again, I didn't have to go home and face her. :yum::yum::yum:
 
I was a victim of similar BS about 33 years ago. The only thing that saved my ass was the wife knew the guys helping me in the door could not drive the distance from the bar that quick. That and the barmaid told her I had been so drunk they were driving me home. Never did find out who the chick was but I found out who put her up to it.:whistling:PAYBACK is a BITCH!:clap::clap:
