    Every time I hear people talking loudly on their cell phones in public places I get annoyed thinking "why should I be subjected to your conversation, GET A BOOTH".

    Wired telephone booths and phones are being pulled and decommissioned by the thousands by Verizon wireline. They don't make money and the cost of maintaining them is higher than the return from service revenue.
    CTC BBQ Amplifier, Sonic Frontiers Line3 Pre-Amplifier and Wadia 581 SACD player. Speakers? Always changing but for now, Mission Argonauts I picked up for $50 bucks, mint.

    Yeah, cause she obviously lives there. She couldn't have been traveling to see someone, or just stopping off there, or just visiting.

    On topic, she deserves what she got, especially if she gave any attitude to people asking her to stop.

    This is a direct result of the death of common sense. It looks like civil courtesy is on it's death bed as well. "She was disrespected"? Apparently there's not a connecting brain cell in that head of hers.

    I believe that is a very similar predicament as the USPO finds itself in.
    I like speakers that are bigger than a small refrigerator but smaller than a big refrigerator:D
