It's all about reasonableness. I have no time for the people with silly

the phone!" over and over again) or with those who conduct one-sided
conversations as if they were speaking at a public meeting.

Nevertheless, it's galling for those of us who do know that we can talk
quietly and still be heard the other end, to be prevented from doing so
by "one size fits all" rules.


My ring tone plays "Nellie the Elephant". Do you find that
acceptable? (Actually, if you don't, tough ****.)

Agreed, we don't need more "nanny" laws.
