I believe I just thought of a temporary cure for these loud talking cell phone idiots.
Get YOUR phone out and get right up next to them (and I mean right up next to them) and start blathering LOUDLY into your phone. Ignore them if they give you 'the look'. If they move away, move with them. Eventually, they will stop and ask "Do you mind?"
Respond "Not at all, do you?" and continue your 'conversation'
I am going to try this.
yesterday, on one of my trains, a passenger was talking really loud on his cell phone. really loud.
i asked, in a very nice manner--twice, that he lower his voice. the third time i had to talk to the guy
i gave him three choices, "shutupshutitofforiamgoingtoyankthatthingoutofyourhand."
i'll give y'all one guess which option he chose.

courtesy, or lack there of, which leads to the aforementioned jackassery.

Portable cell phone jammer. Just don't get caught ($10k fine and a year in the pokey). Sometimes it's worth the risk.
