I've never experienced someone texting with a keypad which makes noise. I think I'd have to snatch the phone out of their hands!!!!

And some times people really are annoying, and sometimes people are just easily agitated. I hate it when people sit in front of me, and text. I mean, if the auditorium is huge, and not packed, why would you sit in the FRONT just to spend the whole time texting. Especially when the screen is so bright, and each button makes a little tone! Blargh! That is what really bother me, but if some one leans over to whisper (really whisper) a short something, it wouldn't bother me.Jessica @ One Shiny Starhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17400983047819196212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6300870976620931035.post-91284301360887648462010-03-25T17:16:46.376-04:002010-03-25T17:16:46.376-04:00Hahahaha, thanks for the stories, Jennifer!

The fellow I was standing next to (sold out concert) was wearing a watch. As do many people. The lady on the other side of this fellow asked him to please remove his watch because it was ticking and disrupting her enjoyment of the music.<br /><br />Also, after another concert (I think this one was in Switzerland) that I was playing, one of the audience members came up to a group of us and started saying something in German, clearly very agitated. So when we apologized and asked if she spoke English, she said, "Did you see those people? Ze people in front of me? All during ze concert! ZEY VER KNITTING! KNITTING! YOU MUST SAY SOMEZING!" We agreed to say something to the management, just to calm her down...but I don't think they included a ban on needlecraft in the next pre-concert announcement.Jenniferhttp://www.coloradoreedcompany.comnoreply@blogger.com
