I wish something like that would happen to people that yak on their cell phones while they're standing in line at grocery stores, movie theaters, the bank, etc. It's so freaking rude to everyone else around you especially the person who is serving you.

Raff has a little device that jams cell phone signals... not sure on the range or how much it costs... but he brings it to theaters. Once a guy was talking on his phone loudly and many people were annoyed. I told my wife and some people around us that if he didn't shut it off I was going to grab it and drop it in his pop. (soda for some)... I actually got up out of my seat with full intention as he had been told and shushed a few times. But just a split second or so after I got up he got off. At one point he appeared to be, I expletive you not, playing a game like tetris... he was several rows up so I'm not certain... but man, that pissed a lot of people off.

seriously... In hindsight I can't believe how I was actually going to get up and do that. Sometimes you look back and think, how was I behaving so irrational? I mean, nothing ended up happening, but it was about to. Another irrational movie theater story. Once a woman driving an Escalade (male in the passenger seat... an obvious rich couple, pulled into a spot on the passenger side of my car in the parking lot. My wife and I were chatting in the car, we had just pulled in about a minute prior and were way early for the movie. The driver (the female) gets out of the car and in doing so slams her door into my car. Now, this is my old, not junked, work car, but for some reason we took it to the theater. That work car is beat up. not bad, but it had it's share of dents and a little rust. Not too much, and not that noticeable. Upon slamming her door into my passenger door she looks in the car, sees us, shrugs her shoulders, smiles with almost a chuckle and walks off with her husband and appeared to be laughing. My reaction... After they got in the theater, I got out of my car, took my car door and slammed it into their escalade several times causing a giant dent. I moved my car to the other side of the parking lot. The kicker, they were in the same movie as us. Don't know why I did, but I did. Maybe a small part of it was because escalade drivers in MN tend to be douchebag drivers. Her reaction was the clincher though. You say you are sorry, I say "no worries, it's my junker car anyway" you shrug and laugh... I return the favor tenfold.
I'm a ridiculously laid back in person... but I can snap...
