I can't even imagine "gabbery" on a phone in a grocery store. It's already bloody noisy, between the ruddy air-conditioning at full-blast, screaming kids, speakers booming specials and the like.

I agree; I've often been in the store and seen a item that made me place a quick call to the wife to ask if we're low on a certain item, or to say that I just saw something she might like and should I buy it while I'm out. These aren't the cell phone users who get under my skin. The ones who bug me are those who have a phone glued to their heads at all times, who always enter rooms with one hand to their ear, and who are yakking on their phone from the time they enter the parking lot until they load their purchases in their trunks. Is this why the early pioneers of quantum mechanics struggled so hard to come up with a workable theory? Just so idiots could talk to other idiots on cell phones all day long?
