Here’s what the tellme survey shows:
• 77% say they’d talk on their phones in a theatre or a concert
• 71% say they’d use their phones in a restaurant
The rest, running errands (88%), waiting at an appointment (80%), walking (78%), visiting friends (68%) aren’t so bad, but three out of four people would talk in a theater? Really? I don’t want to be old man Chen, but kids these days! *shakes fist*
The buzzd one also says that 60% of mobile phone users have drunk dialed, and 68% have drunk texted. I’d say drunk dialing is a much better offence than talking at a theatre. A drunken hookup hurts at most two, maybe three people, depending on the circumstances. A mobile phone conversation during Iron Man 2 affects everyone.

This reminded me of that scene from Get Smart where Larabee’s phone rings in a meeting so Agent 23 (The Rock) asks if he can look at it, grabs it and breaks it in half.
In fact my advice, should you find yourself in an ANY situation, do what I do and ask yourself “what would The Rock do?”.
