Slap Her Silly

I generally get annoyed by people that have their phones set so that whenever they get a text message it deafens everyone in the room! I have my phone set so that if i get a txt it beeps once, not very loudly and vibrates. If i have it in my pocket i feel it, if i have it on the table i hear it or hear the vibrations.

I also think that in the long run Trigger Happy TV was a bad thing. While it may be funny, there are now even more people shouting down their phones because of this TV show, apparently oblivious to the fact that the TV show was making fun of people who do that !!!

Moblie phones are not a rare thing here.

EVERYONE has one. And by that I mean everyone from the age of five to sixty-five.

We're used to them We don't need to shout down them any more. But I still have to kill people whose phones ring in cinemas (you can't get signal jammers in England, they breach the Radiocommunications act)...

I heard that in South Korea, there are 1.5 mobile phones for every person? Although most people don't get much use out of the half-phone...
