** Remember when we used to take pity on people who would walk down the street shouting? Now we just get pissed off because the only mental problem these people have is incredibly unconscionable stupidity.
It's an epidmeic -- people talking so loud on their cell phones that live conversations often have to stop. The problem is so widespread that if you take the Acela to New York City, people scramble to get into the QUIET CAR where no cell phone conversations -- in fact not even loud face to face conversations -- are allowed. The Loewes chain of movie theaters has a singing pre-show spot portraying the many venues of "Inconsiderate cellphone man" -- although I've noticed that women are just as likely to be afflicted with this social disease.
Well, Draplin Industries Design Company in collaboration with Coudal Partners are sick and tired and they're not going to take it anymore! And you're invited to join them in fighting cell phone boorishness. They created SHHH - Society for Handheld Hushing. They supply you with printed cards that you can drop on these sociopaths. You can download a PDF and print out your own, some of which are quite funny.
