It's fun discussing it, though! And, I agree it's idiotic (especially the way they enforce it).
I always turn off my phone (if I remember) and I always wait to fire up my ereader (if I remember). If not, oh well.
As far as paying attention to the safety spiel...nothing ever goes as planned. I've only had four major problems flying -- a flat tire on landing in L.A., an emergency landing on the way to Chicago when lightning hit our plane, and two cockpit fires. Different flight crews -- different approaches to handling the emergencies and nothing (in these 4 instances) in the safety blurb made one bit of difference.
