  1. Why is it ok to read someone else’s texts on a plane?

    One does not justify their impolite actions by deciding it’s some sort of “discovery”. Or that they are doi.g to shame someone.

    They didn’t discover it. They stuck their nose in and snooped.

    Is it ok also to read someone’s computer screen? Work notes? Daily diary? Why not just go through their luggage as well !!!

    What happened to shunning nosy spying people?

    Does the person texting expect complete privacy in a public place? No. But does that mean that Ms. Spy camera has the right to zoom in between seats without the person’s knowledge? No.

    That’s complete horsesiht.

  2. That felt a bit staged (like most of these types of posts nowadays anyway).

    @Zebraitis — I admire your passion for privacy! Let’s repeal the Patriot Act while we’re at it, because until then, we’re practically all ‘hacked’ all the time.

  3. Man that robot is really something. The “DO NOT TOUCH!” sign on it is the icing on the cake.

    And agreed with @Zebraitis, someone should probably not be calling their contacts “nice rack” and “big butt”, but one should also not be looking at other’s phones while they are texting away on them.

  4. I’m 65 years old and dudes were having these conversations long before cell phones. Now granted when it’s a couple of 50 year old men that’s pretty creepy. I can assure you such texting is going on in every walk of life.
