Cell Phones at the Movies! - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Man I can't stand it when some numbskull decides to make/take a call while the movie is in progress.
What gives? And how difficult is it to turn the ringer off?
When I saw 'Signs' a while ago, this moron kept calling people up & yabbing. Another time, this woman's cell was ringing & there she was fumbling all over for it. Like she forgot where she put it.
I was glad they started doing that 'Inconsiderate Cell Phone Guy' ad during the trailers. Very funny & I hope it gets the message across.

I put mine on vibrate. But if it rings(vibrates) i'll pick it up. I'm so inconsiderate.

Never heard of Green Acres except for the old tv show. But I'm sure some places in Da Bx would give it a serious run for the money.

I have manners therefor I turn mine off

I put mine on vibrate. The only time I'll actually take a call is if it's my mother, cause that usually means something's up.. she never calls my phone. I'll go outside though, and talk. I won't do it in the theatre.

Oh man...damn cellphones! I turn mine off in the movies, besides I rarely get calls from non-family members. One time, Valentine's Day, I went to go see Just Married (i've mentioned this before) and the girl next to me, who was in my spanish class, not only felt the need to make out loudly with her but also felt the need to put her cell ringer on the loudest tone! omg, and she didn't even go outside to make the call. she just sat there talking for 10 minutes or more and was really loud. and she got all bitchy when i told her that "silence is golden and i paid 8 bucks to see this movie, and i want to see it, so shut up!"

It doesn't bother me if the phone goes off, but the person quickly turns it off. But if you let it ring or pick up and talk, and not have the decency to go outside, it will piss me off.
