This sign means no cell phone use allowed!
People amaze me.Seriously.If you’ve got a brain and you spot this sign,you know it means no cell phone use allowed in that area.Surprisingly very,very few people actually pay attention to signs like this one…
I was at the courthouse in Dekalb county and this “no cell phone use allowed” sign was posted on the door…right on the door.The bailiff even went as far as giving us a “talk” about how we should all turn off our cell phones.The courtroom rules are simple-no cell phone allowed,not even on vibrate.All cell phones must be turned completely off before you enter the courtroom.If you don’t turn your phone off and it rings or beeps,you not only get thrown out of the courtroom but your cell phone gets confisticated and never returned.
This one lady apparently felt like she was above the law because she decided to enter the courtroom without turning off her cell phone.Halfway through the proceedings,her cell phone started ringing..ofcourse the bailiff walked over to her and confisticated the phone and what does this lady say?”Give me back my phone..thats my phone…you have no right to take it from me”.She then went on to claim racial profiling.
I hate when people use race as an excuse for their stupidity but thats a whole different topic I’ll spare for some other time.I just wanted to grab that woman by her hand,march her to the door of the courtroom,point to the sign on the door and tell her…this sign means no cell phone use allowed you dummy……
