Cell phone etiquette. :)

[John Schmidt]

After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in his seat and closed his eyes.
As the train rolled out of the station, a woman sitting next to him pulled out her mobile phone and started talking in a loud voice:

"Hi sweetheart. It's Sue. 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 Kevin from the accounting office. It was with the boss.
No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life. Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart!"
Fifteen minutes later, she was still talking loudly.
When the man sitting next to her had enough, he leaned over and said into the phone,
"Sue, hang up the phone and come back to bed."
Sue doesn't use her mobile phone in public any longer.

Good one, John!!


And right after the punchline is usually the statement, "Don't Mess with Old People!".

I did something similar to a friend of mine...

She was on the phone with her boyfriend.  I loudly pronounced, "Hang up the phone! I paid you for a reason!"  (With a few colorful words thrown in...)

She was NOT happy with me. 

On the up side, I was also friends with her boyfriend so he had a good laugh later that day when he finally arrived and I told him it was me.

Good'un!

Not quite the same John but some years back I was working in a bicycle shop and one of the guys called his wife from the shop's phone to tell her that he would be working late...............Shouldn't have done that.

Conversation:  " Millie, hon, I'll be working late, sorry"   Millie "But you promised!"    About that time one of us clinked two bottle of Coke together and said in a loud voice, "Willard, hang up the phone, it's your turn to buy"

I love this!

Wayne, a couple of us did the same thing to another guy in the shop where I worked part time. Only for us, we just turned on the radio real loud so it sounded like a band in the background. We know his wife heard and questioned it, judging by the conversation we heard from him. The next day he was all kinds of PO'd at us so we called his wife and explained what we did. Took a while for it to blow over.

Puts me in mind of a supposed true story from the good old days in MI.

Every deer season, MI used to have more hunters in the woods than we had in front line combat troops in Europe in WWII.  So enterprising businessmen would load up Winebagos with working girls and run them up north, hitting as many deer camps as possible, offering their services.  Business was reportedly always brisk.

One year, a group of wives decided to run up to their husband's long-in-use deer camp to surprise them.  When they arrived at the gate to the camp, the old caretaker would not let them in, saying....... Sorry ladies, but these guys already have their wives with them, I can't let you in.     Rut Ro
