In what may be one of the ultimate cases of rudeness the New York Philharmonic Orchestra had to stop in the middle of a performance because some old fart in the front row of the audience did not turn off his cell phone. Conductor Alan Gilbert did his best to ignore the moron's phone but after three or four minutes of ringing he had all he could stans and he couldn't stans no more. He put his arms down signaling the musicians to stop playing. He then turned to the moron with the phone and politely asked "are you finished?". He maintained a very professional attitude and even calmed the audience down when it seemed they were ready to string the guy up. The old moron finally turned off his phone and the audience applauded when Mr. Gilbert gave the cue to resume play. The old fart either did not hear his phone or tried his best to ignore it hoping no one would think it was him. Well his stupidity nearly led to a riot and just shows how inconsiderate people are getting with these stupid phones.
I get a kick out of people that cannot turn their stupid phone off at any time. Unless your wife is expecting a baby the phone should be off when you are at a function. I also laugh when someone on the golf course is constantly on the phone. Are these calls that important? Why cannot they just leave a message and get called back after the function is done. What really pisses your King off are people that just do not care, especially at the movies. The attendees are instructed to turn off their phones prior to the start of the movie but a lot don't. They just cannot be unattached to the world for the two hours that the movie runs. Even texting at the movies drives me nuts. The damnable light is bright and is very distracting as they try to peck away to their friends. Jerks.
I do not, nor will I ever have, one of these stupid ultra loaded cell phones except for one that would be for emergency use only that you can get at Walmart. The Kingdom of Moronica does not receive enough calls to even warrant one of these technological nightmares. Hmm, maybe people think that a call to my monarchy is a long distance call??? Maybe they think they have to know all of the country code crappola to call me???? I don't give a hoot as I treasure my privacy a lot. If I am on the golf course, at a concert or at the movies that is my private time. I do not want to be connected to the world when I am busy. It seems that most people are addicted to these phones as everyone, but me, seems to have one. What is funny is that every couple of months they come out with a new version and people get trampled trying to get these monstrosities. They just HAVE to have the newest technology as if it is a national requirement to get it. What a bunch of goofballs!!!
Plus once you get your new toy you have to sign a lengthy contract to be in a system to be able to use it and the cost to be hooked up to one of those systems can be very expensive. To get the most out of your new toy you have to be hooked up to the most expensive package. These companies know that these people are hopelessly hooked and will pay anything to get the top of the line product because they know it is even worse than an addiction. Ugh!
Well, that is my rant on cell phones. All the vast majority of the people in this world want is to be able to attend an enjoyable function without the dingleding of a moron's cell phone interrupting the performance. All normal people ask is that you turn them off for the duration. I guess that is just too much to ask of you rude people out there.
