Re: How is this working out overseas
said by BeesTea  :Why does a phone conversation bother you? Do two people talking on the plane bother you? If so, do you want a law that says the whole plane must be silent? If not, is it the fact that you're only able to eavesdrop on half the conversation that bothers you? Because when people typically talk on the plane they aren't shouting over the engine or other noises. On the phone they almost do. Thats the HUGE difference. The latter is much more annoying. |

Hey, I'm all for legislating etiquette. The next time you eat, better use that fork in the left hand and keep your napkin in your lap, or else I'm fining you $1000.

The latter is much more annoying. People on the plane talking to each other don't talk over the noise around them but people on a cell phone do? I'm pretty sure that's not the case. In order to be heard, everyone must talk over noise around them. This is simply the nature of acoustics.
I argue that loud people are just loud. Regardless of an ear listening or a microphone. Legislation will not change this.
