They do have free phone service behind 17 green grandstands though, about 12 phones.

Still won't stop me from screaming "Bababooey" while someone's putting if I'm ever at one of these.

Vodka in a Perrier bottle is near undetectable. Best solution evah.

If cell phones aren't allowed, why disallow selfie sticks? what if I have an itch I can't reach?

Because is you didn't state that, some many idiots came with a selfie stick with a phone attached thinking it was allowed.   These rules don't just pop up out of thin air.

I guess strollers are banned, because you could dress your cell phone up as a baby?

Pisses me off when people go out to dinner, at a nice place, not a 99 or applebees, but a nice place. Look around. Half the ####ing place is looking at their phones :mad:

I agree with this sentiment. It infuriates me, too, to be at dinner and have somebody check their phone. I best step up my company, says the pessimist in I. The truth is, they're going to check their phone regardless.

When those people are also engaging your company, it's something endemic and weirdly wired to cultural norms. 

It shouldn't be hard to understand.

He didn’t say the person he was with, he said look around and half the people are on phones. So again why do you care what other people, who are not with you, are doing?

I know what he said. Cultural norms determine a bunch of things, not the least of which is how we use our devices within company.

It's a larger issue. Adults shouldn't act like teenagers.  Too many people are addicted to their phones. 

Another thing that infuriates me. People on the golf course talking on their phones. "i'm working" well get off the course!!!

Jesus, how did we function as a society 25 years ago. Sad

Only if you allow them to. If you don’t, you shouldn’t be concerned with others. Besides, mind your own business. What you think is culturally correct is meaningless to the table next to you.

This is like when I spent 10,000 on the stripper. I've still got a ####-ton of hooker and blow stories for you.

Nobody is stopping you from posting, I’d love to hear them. I’ve got some great ones to tell from my years on the west coast but honestly forgot about that thread.

We're all interconnected, friend. We know that inherently. I do mind my own business. But at the end of the day, your business is mine, mine yours. You might not agree, but it's true. It's in the nature of the word within which world we live.  

It's the old saw: You may be through with politics, but politics isn't through with you.

:lmao:

Awesome.

I'd post, but seeing it in stark print, I decided I had to delete it before the ban hammer came down. It was pretty bad, and a little boring, actually.

I agree on this. I could catch a whiff of some nice smoke I desperately want, but have quit for years. It's a nice thing, to watch people smoke and enjoy it. I can't anymore.

I met my SO in 2010 and my son's mother, . She smoked about 1 1/2 packs a day.  My mother died (2000) at 48 from lung cancer (smoking since 13) I've hated the smell and the idea of it my entire life.  She knew how much I hated it, so she quit in about a year of meeting.  it's been 8 years and every time we see someone smoking she says "lucky" and if we've been drinking she says "wish I could have one"
