Question: Why can two people have a conversation in public and no one takes notice (unless, of course, it's overly loud, which is a different story,) but when one person and a cell phone have a conversation so many people get up in arms? Two people on a bus talking to each other is fine, but one person and a phone makes people angry.
The guy phone-crashing in the video is just being an obnoxious twerp - the people on the phones there are outdoors and obviously not bothering anyone else. Unfortunately, there are however still a few people who, even in confined spaces, will talk five times as loud on their phone as they would to someone next to them. Even with 21st-century cellphone technology which makes that completely unnecessary. Those people could do with quieting down, or better making use of SMS which doesn't subject everyone within coo-ee to the details of their lives.
