Cell Phones: Vexing and Insolent



I've just recently discovered PassiveAggressiveNotes.com - it's hysterical and I'm completely hooked. It reminds me of that episode of The Office where Pam posts the note about how disgusting the microwave is, but everyone just gets irritated with the anonymous person who posted the note.

Can a phone be insolent? Use of it may be insolent.

Maybe it means that the phones CAN'T be used in the store (due to a cell blocker) because the owners are vexing and insolent?

That makes more sense too me.

And yes that is a grouse site.

@Mr Cat: that has to be the next big internet thingie...'Cool sites you couldn't find because the internet is too big'.

On NYC buses, there are signs "asking" you to please not use your cell phone as a courtesy to others. Once, a bus driver refused to leave the stop until the old lady in front of me (who was talking quietly) got off her cell phone. So... I can talk to the person next to me, I can talk to myself, I can be one of the hundreds of crazies in the city who scream at themselves and others- but I MAY NOT talk to a piece of plastic next to my ear?

Someone with such a loose grasp of punctuation (there really shouldn't be a comma after "in use") and sentence structure (as noted, a cell phone is hardly insolent) who also uses excessive capitalization has a lot of nerve implying that others might need to check a dictionary for two fairly common words.

I agree someone should start a blog on the coolest sites... I don't think i'm qualified or i'd try. I Love Passive Agressive site. A new favorite is not always right
