Anyone else had the experience of not being able to use your cellphone at a DMV/tax office? Went in to register a new car in November here in South Florida, and they had a security guard stringently monitoring the waiting-line. Someone came in talking on his cell, and was quickly told that he needed to leave or hang up. He hung up (shooting daggers), but almost immediately re-dialed. He was escorted out of line toot sweet. I’m sure this is a security issue, but it was nice to stand in line with people who were either talking to each other or _not talking at all_. ---

You are not qualified to continue littering my line of hearing with your worthless drivel, and I will be forced to take measures to remove your ability to do so if you continue. Yea, there will be a weeping and a gnashing of teeth, and the streets shall run red with the blood of ye who will not SHUT. THE FUCK. UP! I came for the OP, I give you a standing ovation for this. Greatness. You gots it. [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/shut-up/433255.md?page=1)
