Bravo Ramin — Page 4

I was at Jersey Boys for the first time a few weeks ago and the ladies in front of me (after moving to get away from the annoying woman singing behind me) were on their cell phones the whole show checking text messages. I told the ushers at intermission. They were told to turn them off and it didn't help. I think they should just start ejecting people. Use your phone get thrown out. Also simple. BTW some clod took a flash picture during the show. WTH. Most people go to the show to be entertained not chat on their phones. If you are bored, LEAVE, so the rest of us can enjoy the show with out being bothered.

Since I found out that cell phone usage in the theater was illegal, I have started turning off my phone before I even enter. That way I don't have to worry about it going off or distracting others around me.

I always made sure it was off by curtain time. But, until a few months ago didn't realize that cell phone usage was illegal at all. I just turn it off, put it in my bag and leave it there. My old phone was a POS flip phone, it would turn on and off by its self, I used to take the battery out after it went off (on vibrate) during a show once.

^^^ THIS, LMAO. Chicago style. Or make them sit through "A Tale Of Two Cities" over and over for 24 hours.

Nothing is that important to be texting and/or taking a call in the middle of a performance. It's amazing how absolutely clueless & self-centered people are when it comes to cell phone common sense.

You'd be surprised how some people that live in trailer parks have more dignity than theatergoers. So let's not go insulting them in the context of this ahem discussion

haterobics: It's called SARCASM.

Here's the link. Read and digest. Commit it to memory you're going to need to if you want to continue to stick around here:
EDUCATE YOURSELF...AND HAVE A NICE DAY!

Haterobics, my sister lived in a trailer park for several years. I can't compare her to all theatergoers, but she certainly had dignity.

"Broadway's version of trailer park trash"

Roxy, I'm pretty good at sarcasm, but would you mind explaining what you're talking about here? Is it that "trailer park trash" are the ones who use their cell phones in theaters? Sometimes I'm a little dense, and I'm just not getting this. thanks.

That was nice of you Carlos, but that's just another example of some idiot who can't live without her phone almost causing a lot of harm.

Isn't Roxy always the champion the people who can't afford high prices for shows? Funny how intolerant he always claims people who don't accept his backward opinions are.

These are great, tell me more!

What a difference in reputation between a so-called "trailer park" and an "RV campground!" Some of the latter, although, thank goodness, not too many, have rules that the RV must be motorized (i.e., NOT a trailer) and must be less than 10 years old. My husband and I own an RV and plan to travel around the country in retirement. I can't imagine staying at the really snobby places.

BTW, I can verify that some of the stereotypes about RV'ers (whether trailer owners or owners of motor homes) are indeed true, based on my experience. They are overwhelmingly white, the Americans seem to be quite conservative politically (I don't know about the Canadians because I don't know what issues divide left from right in Canada -- other than it isn't health care), they tend to be religious Christians who attend "nondenominational" services that the campgrounds often hold on Sundays, and they're often friendly people on a personal level.
