Author Message   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 09:18 am:    Who does'nt have the vibration feature on their cell phone? Don't you hate it when you're at the movies or wedding, orgy, baptism, funeral, communion, etc ... and someones cell phone rings??? I think the vibration feature is a must on all cell phones. Just curious, have a good day everyone!!   Greg Davis (Gregdavis) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 09:36 am:    Hmmm. When I read that subject line, I would have bet money that KJ had posted it.   ema Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:00 am:    I find the cell phone ringer tunes much more annoying. I work in a cube farm (think "Office Space") and can hear everyone's different cell phone songs. It is much worse when people are away from their desks and the phones sing for a minute or two. This actually makes the standard ringers bearable for me, though vibrate mode is the best. -ema   KJ Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:01 am:    Hey, HEY! Don't drag ME into this one, LOL, remember, I don't even know my cell number! Karen   Dean Brown (Deanbrown3d) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:04 am:    LOL greg, my thoughts exactly!   David Caton (Catonincarolina) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:04 am:    I ran the disney marathon on Sunday and could not believe the number of people, actually talking and answering ringing cell phones on the run. Here I was just trying to breathe and these people were chatting away,,, ( me oh Im on mile 20, yeah great run,,k,,blah blah blah,,,,, ) Is now where safe. Caton   Danno (Danno) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:06 am:    and if KJ knew her number, i'm sure she'd wear that poor phone out...   ema Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:10 am:    The worst was when I saw "Lord of the Rings". There was an individual giving a play-by-play of the movie via his cell phone. Needless to say, the crowd was NOT pleased. -ema   Al Oliveira (Offroaddisco) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:26 am:    That's the one reason I would want EXTRA (just fill the bucket half way with butter) popcorn. Or pull the Peewee Herman trick and bring a squirt gun filled with white hand lotion. Either way you can be creative and get the guy to move without starting something.   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:31 am:    Caton, Wyoming. Montana. Most of Idaho. The Dakotas. Rockie Mountains. Cascades. Chunks of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, Colorado. Most of Canada. See, out West we have these things called mountains and deserts and .....ah never mind. pwc   John Cinquegrana (Johnc) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:32 am:      Carter Simcoe (Carter) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 10:47 am:    LOL John, I'm saving that one   TPH (Snowman) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 11:07 am:    John- LOL, that was great and so true. I have had so many close calls. I know I will catch crap for this but 90% were women in SUV's or mini-vans. S-   Mike Carino (Mikec) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 11:36 am:    I use my vibrate function as an excuse to not answer the phone. If it is clipped to the ashtray in my truck and on vibrate, I don't know it is ringing and therefore they go into my voicemail. It is just a trick I use to re-enforce my mantra that " I don't have to be available all the time!" Also my new Nextel 95 has the feature where you turn the ring volume down all the way, it automatically goes into vibrate mode as opposed to having to use a code to turn it on and off.   Peter Matusov (Pmatusov) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 12:26 pm:    Mike, I do the same thing, and one step further - don't have voicemail! peter   Mike Carino (Mikec) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 12:34 pm:    Peter, I had no say in that, as it is a company phone. But hey at least it is free and I can also use it for personal stuff as well. Actually the voicemail came with a cheaper rate plan than what we had before. Mike   Sus (Susannah) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:09 pm:    John! That cartoon was SOOOOO me when I was in my accident. My fiance was on his way to meet me in Williamsburg, and my wreck was in Norfolk. He kept calling me to see what was happening and where he needed to go! The Paramedic had to give him directions to the hospital, and then they took my phone!!! I have to print that out!   David Caton (Catonincarolina) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:13 pm:    Peter - With those places, these people would probally get those satellite phones........ caton   Rans (Rans) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 01:25 pm:    I'm splitting the difference! My cell allows for a combination of vibrate and ring. This way I get two ring cycles of vibration, and then 2 cycles of ringing before it goes to voicemail. Gives me a chance not to annoy others by answering before it rings, but if it is not on my person, then I still get a shot at being available all-the-time. You see, I have 3 teenagers....I CAN'T afford not be available!!   Leslie N. Bright (Leslie) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 02:05 pm:    David, I was going to say the same thing in response to Peter's comment.... My phone doesn't vibrate. I leave it off, in the glove compartment. I'll take it into Wally-world to make sure that if they're out of what the wife wanted me to bring home, I can get an approved substitute, but I refuse to have it near movie theaters, resturants, church, etc..... -L   Greg French (Gregfrench) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 02:08 pm:    Teenagers. My duty after school (I am a teacher) is to stand in the parking lot exit and direct traffic. You would not believe the number of teenagers with cell phones up to their ears, trying to drive through a crowded parking lot full of pedestrians. I have almost been hit several times. I am thinking of asking for hazardous duty pay.   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 04:24 pm:    David, In my defense, the subject is about cell phones, not sat. phones. And even in the mountains there are some places sat. phones won't work if you have a chunck of rock between you and the sat. Eventually they will have enough up that that won't be a problem though. pwc PS I still say carrier pigeons are where it's at.   Mike Carino (Mikec) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 04:30 pm:    But Peter, with cell phones, you don't have to worry about them crapping all over the place : ) Mike   Peter Carey (Pcarey) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 04:37 pm:    I'm picking up one of these and putting it in my truck. http://www.security.pwallen.co.uk/Catalogue/IE/451/65142.html That'll teach em. pwc   David Caton (Catonincarolina) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 04:53 pm:    Peter - Now your talking. Will you park in the parking lot at my work with that thing!!! LOL I would love to see the look on these peoples faces when there phone go out! Caton   Tommy Dougherty (Skydiver) Posted on Tuesday, January 14, 2003 - 05:56 pm:    Anyone ever catch 'Trigger Happy TV' on Comedy Central (in the US.) They've got this guy with a 3ft cell phone... he goes into these quiet restaraunts, movie theaters, parks, and the phone rings.... he stands up and screams 'HELLO!!! NO, NO, I'M IN THE CINEMA.... WHAT???' It's so funny seeing everyone's reactions. (I think that stuff is funny as hell.... my wife would disagree with me.. haha) -Tommy   Mr. Happy Posted on Wednesday, January 15, 2003 - 01:27 pm:    I've found that repeated bludgeoning with a hard, blunt object generally gets the cell phone to stop ringing and the asshole to stop talking on it.
