Well, it is still America, so one can mostly say whatever they want.
Some idiot talking on a cellphone like a teenage girl on Saturday
night was annoying me today at the Rampart. I told him; take that
cellphone b.s. away from me. He tried to get tough; I told him to
just hit me with witnesses and cameras so I could sue his little ass
and get another paycheck for life.
He declined. Shoot, I could have enjoyed signing another chcek on
the back every month.
Earlier this year in March, when I was at Harbey's in Tahoe, I was
playing at the VP $1.00
progressives, when a cell phone rang very loudly and a woman at a
machine behind me
began to yell into it -HELLO?HELLO? Oh HIIIIIi! Yea I'm in
TAHOE..and proceeded to share
her conversation with the rest of the casino floor. Suddenly two
machines away from me, a
young and very flamboyant young man who was also playing,glared at
her and in his best
Ethel Merman delivery began singing at the top of his voice
CURTAIN UP! LIGHT THE
LIGHTS! YOU'VE GOT NOTHING TO HIT BUT THE HEIGHTS!...etc
The look on the woman's face was indescribable (notwithstanding
everyone else's around-
including mine) as she fled the area clutching her phone.
As soon as she was gone he stopped singing and to no one in
particular exclaimed, "Got
her" and resumed playing quietly.

> I kind of like that -- and it made me think of another idea. If
you don't have a book,
just start taking the other end of the idiot's phone conversation,
as though he/she were
talking to YOU. eg, when he/she says "hello", you immediately
answer "hello" -- when he/
she says "I can't talk right now, I'm in a casino" (not likely),
you reply "I understand, I can't
talk either, I'm in a casino too -- don't you hate when people do
that..." and start going on
and on.

someone is talking loudly
on their cell in a public place and gives the other party their
phone number, I take it down!
And then call it to let them know that I appreciate their
broadcasting their number to the
entire (insert "restaurant, bus, whatever"), since you really
sound like someone I'll be
