The complete and utter lack of basic etiquette when it comes to cellphone use in public.

I don't mean the friend that starts texting while your talking. Or the people who show up to a BBQ with an iPad and proceed to play angry birds instead of socializing.

I'm talking about the idiots I saw this morning during breakfast, it's a packed restaurant, and this family has a large booth. The youngest child starts acting up, so Dad pulls out his iPhone, fires up a video and proceeds to crank the speaker volume all the way up so the entire section gets to 'enjoy' his kids musical show.

Dude, you're in public! We don't all want to hear that.

I was half tempted to find some speed metal on YouTube and start playing it on my phone just for the inevitable opportunity to say "Oh sorry... is this highly inconsiderate?"

But of course I just glared and posted about it on CP instead.

And what's the deal with people using speakerphone in the same manner? Last week I'm waiting for my windshield to be repaired and some guy rolls into the waiting area with his wife on speaker phone "Hey sweetie what do you want for dinner?"
