New Frontiers in Cell Phone Addiction 0

Without missing a beat . . .

A woman wearing a big, floppy black hat robbed a bank shortly before 1:30 p.m. Friday while on her cellphone.

Also, a couple of weeks ago on the other side of the country:

Salem Police stopped an Amtrak train on Sunday afternoon after reports a woman threatened other passengers when they complained she was speaking too loudly on her cell phone.

She traveled by mouth from Oakland, California, to Salem, Oregon, where she was taken into custody for disorderly conduct.

I was on a train once from New York to Philly. A woman boarded the “quiet car,” which was instituted primarily because of cell phones, and talked loudly for miles. The Conductor had to explain (I knew the Conductor–he handled himself in exemplary fashion) that he could and would call the cops to the next station before he could get her to move to another car.
