I'd rather deal with any punishment the powers that be may throw my way than to live my life with the frustration that'd accompany following any and all rules blindly.
I do as well and think it is amusing how many people get indignant about this. And apparently some are claiming they "report" people for violating rules. My god.

Consumer electronics post no risk at all to the aircraft. But like many urban legends many people believe everything they are told and do everything they are told to do. I will not follow stupid rules any more than I have to in order to not cause myself more hassle. I mind my own business as well unless someone is TRULY harming another.
