Just deal with it.

If you're at the movie theatre, you're not at work, ergo no need to answer your phone.


...you are aware there are professions where you have to be on call right? You know like doctors who work in hospitals or certain government employees.

They shouldn't be in the cinema if they're going to talk on the phone.

Frankly, when I had an on-call job I had the decency to pass on going to the cinema or the theatre. I'd still go to restaurants, but a man has to eat.

There are certain jobs where you are always on call.

Bud, IM wanted to start up a totalitarian state over these:
1. Dogs.
2. Suits.
3. Children screaming.
4. The Socratic Method.
5. Taking non open-notes tests in schools.
6. Volunteer work.
7. Creating a totalitarian state with cameras in your house, street, school, and probably somewhere up your...y'know.
And much, much more.

At this point, I'd assume that IM would be a perfect politician, as IM takes generally small and menial issues that only affect him and a very few amount of people, thinking up crazy punishments that wouldn't work in a million years, and then passing them off as problems of the general population.

I find his "First class airplane seats are oppression" and "I'ma nuke the ice caps" ideas particularly amusing.

If you're on call, you shouldn't be going to the theatre. Greedles is neither a doctor nor a government employee anyway, so it's immaterial.

As I mentioned above there are some jobs that are always on call. Should they never go to the theater?

How about we all just agree to ban Infected from theaters. That way he never has to suffer through another phone call, and the rest of us get to live in a world that's sane.

Yes, I had one for a time. Knowing that, I chose not to go to places where silence is highly valued. True, this meant I was out of luck when it came to visiting museums and the like, but a little bit of civility never hurt.

I never said they should not, I was just commenting that actually for some people they do have to answer the phone.
