ANY talking on cell phones in libraries is disruptive and rude. Cell phone nuisances have had their way in the University of Oklahoma library for a decade. They were supposedly "banned" in 2001 but the ban is never enforced. Jerks in the OU library also blast noise from their earphones, eat food, and consume beverages. The crunching of ice and potato chips is a frequent noise disturbance. The library of Norman, Oklahoma, is just as bad.

A guy standing less than a foot behind me in a grocery line answered his cellphone in a loud voice. It startled ( and angered) me so much that I turned around and yelled right into his face, "hey, your phone is ringing!!! Oh, I see you got it already!!!!!" He was embarrassed, I felt silly, and my fellow standees got a huge laugh. I know he will think twice before he answers his phone in someone's ear again....

Thanks for bringing up this subject. I drove for Greyhound for 24 years. even though Cell- phones have been a great advantage. Why do people have to talk so load on them. 45 feet behind you 65 MPH road noise and wind noise and you could still understand every word at 3am.

I hate it when there is a long line for customer service (ie airline ticket counter) and the agent is waithing for the jerk to stop talking on his/her cell phone so that the jerk can be helped. Meanwhile, the others in line miss appointments, connections, etc,
