LOL. I was very tempted recently in an airport restaurant. Some sales idot was yakking so loudly on his cell that all of us for many tables away could hear him. Then he gave his cell number to whomever was on the other end of the connection -- and all the rest of us as well. It was tempting to go to a nearby pay phone and call him... but I didn't.

Cellphone - the bane of the me-me-me-me-ninny. "OMG someone is trying to rest and I, I have to - simply have to - talk to my buddy Jethro about lite beer!!!" /Smack

Since when did expecting common courtesy make one a "nosey-ninny"?

Having a loud conversation (and cell phone conversations are almost always loud, because of the limitations of the speaker) in an enclosed public space is rude.
