I'm a recovering cellphone user. Haven't owned one for 3 years now, travel a lot for business, and seem to get along just fine.

Was flying the other day. The guy next to me pulled out his phone the SECOND the plane landed, and was pushing buttons before we even taxied off of the runway. The FA who was seated directly in front of us facing us (F-class on a UA 737) saw this and told him to cease immediately (this was after they made the standard announcement that electronic devices cannot be used until we were parked at the gate and the doors were open). He stopped, but gave a grumble under his breath toward the FA...WHAT THE HECK IS SO IMPORTANT THAT IT CAN'T WAIT 4 MINUTES!?!?!?!

Thought about saying something similar to what I say to my friends when they rudely take a call over me. Something along the lines of "Doctor, has the heart arrived from the airlift yet? Do you have time to make it to the hospital to perform the transplant?"
