I agree. Somehow it’s a crime against nature to talk on a cell phone but talking to the guy next to me is just being neighborly. I assume it’s a holdover of envy from back when only the rich had cell phones.

It’s not a crime. It’s just stupid. If you’re going to buy tickets on the front row near the foul line of an MLB stadium you need to be aware that a ball can come at you. Which in this case it did and the guy caught a ground rule double with his face. Could have been worse though, it could have been a line drive.

I think a lot of it is over people talking on cell phones while driving and either having or causing accidents.

I have an earphone. Although it keeps me from having accidents, a lot of people think I'm crazy and talking to myself when I'm out on a street talking to someone. At least I think it's the cell phone that makes them think I'm crazy. Maybe. Maybe not.
