Loud mouthed' cell phone users

Have you ever felt like strangling one of those 'loud mouthed' cell phone users who seem to sit near you in a restaurant or any other place and forcibly share their private call with you? Here's one solution, provided by a commuter on how to combat this display of bad manners.
After a very busy day at work, a frazzled commuter settled down in her seat and, with a contented sigh, closed her eyes as the train departed Union Station for Clarkson.
As the train rolled out of the station, a guy sat down next to her, pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart it's Dave, I'm on the train - yes, I know it's the 6:30 and not the 4:30 but I had a long meeting - no, honey, not with that woman from 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.
Fifteen minutes later, at Exhibition station, he was still talking loudly. The young woman sitting next to him, outraged by this continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice: "Hey, Dave, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!"
My guess would be that Dave doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer….

Was in Lowe's a while back. Woman in front of me checking out, yea you know it...on the phone. She waited for everything to be run up, then started looking for her money (that's a pet peeve of mine...she knows she will have to pay...get your payment type out and be ready, more prevalent in females). There she was phone in right hand, fumbling in her purse with the left hand. Two teenage kids with her... In a voice that could be heard 2 cashiers down, "how rude is it to be on the phone while trying to conduct business" embarrassed the kids. don't think it even fazed the mother. My phone, when I carry it, stays in the truck while I'm in the store, or whenever I conduct business. There is no one more important that I want to talk to other then the one in front of me.

I have had 3 rear end accidents, all 3 were on the phone, 2 of them.. I was stopped at a red light (1 totaled my MB300D), another did $2,000+ damaged to my MX5) and one while stopping at another light, had to replace my truck bumper, close to a grand. Think I don't want to shove their phone up their AZZ.
