Perhaps, all cell phones should be tethered to a wall in the user's house. Then they'd only be able to range like 8-10 feet away from that spot.
Perhaps you should just get a basic home phone if you don't want your phone to be able to move more then a few feet away from a wall. I think I have one somewhere in a box that I could send to you.

So the boyfriend and I started chanting "Boston Sucks," then the other passengers followed suit. Shut him up real quick.
It sometimes takes a "collective response" to "sort out" an irritating Loudmouth (on the phone). It may be deemed 'cruel' but it's sometimes necessary.
Just this past Saturday night, I was in a grocery store, and there was a lady on her cell phone........on SPEAKER PHONE ! She had the phone a foot from her face and was yelling into it, and the person on the other end was yelling back. She was standing in the front, by the registers, not even down an aisle where she had some privacy.
The two of them were talking about Trump and how they were going to throw up after watching him at the inauguration. (Ok, I was going to throw up too, but at least I wasn't broadcasting it for all within earshot to hear. )
She just stood there for the longest time, oblivious to everyone walking by her and looking at her as if she was nuts. Talking on the phone is one thing, broadcasting your conversation on speaker phone is a whole different matter.
An EMPLOYEE did this to me! I was checking out and she was yakking. I couldn't make sense of it. I said who are you talking to? She said, I'm on my phone. It was in her pocket on speaker!

I think anyone who does something like that is doing so purposely to let all those around her who voted for Trump how ignorant they were....she had someone who was agreeing with her (the person she was talking with) and she wanted everyone to know that she was the better person.
I'm sorry, but that's my take. I when younger and angry at some political issue did the same thing. And of course I could be wrong, but, why else would you do something like that.
I've noted more then ever before, human beings fear allowing others their point of view.

I'd never ever dare do that! To me it's like walking into enemy territory.
