Bummer. I was really hoping I could come online and see this.

People are truly imbeciles. Glad you're OK. If you thought you felt a little whiplash then, you'll most certainly feel it afterwards (next few days.)

If it were me, I'd grab a contingency lawyer real quick. Especially for a jerk-off like that, they deserve it.

Both big albums. The Cult have put out consistently great music for decades now. Surprised that some people don't know who they are, or think little of them.

I think the cell phone thing is just a symptom of a bigger problem: Complete lack of respect for others and zero understanding of etiquette. There is simply no such thing anymore.

I rarely go to the movies for that reason. Nearly every time I have to ask somebody to be quiet. "Can you please not talk for the next 90 minutes?" I'm like James, on the very rare occasions I go see a movie in the theater, I'll see it in the middle of the day, in the middle of the week. Usually after it's been out for a few weeks. I went to see the 30th anniversary of Ghostbusters last year. There was hardly anybody in there, except a young woman and her child. They talked the entire time and of course she was also texting. I eventually complained to an usher, who came in and asked her to be quiet. Was she quiet after that? Of course not, she just continued on. She didn't give a shit.

When I was a kid my parents would expect me to STFU at a movie. No talking. Same for going out to eat. If I fussed around they would ask if I wanted to go out to the car, and I knew what that meant. But when you have parents now who talk to their children instead of sush them, there is no coming back. You've got one clueless generation raising another, and that's why we're filled to the brim with narcissistic turds who take pictures of themselves all day.

Speaking of turds, both days I was in LA last week, I went out to lunch. And both times somebody with a cell phone was obnoxiously loud right next to us. First day was this tech-bro jerkwad who essentially had his business meeting on his phone-blah blah blah-so loud. The second day was another guy who played videos on his phone with the volume up nice and high. This type of behavior is the new norm.

It used to be that rudeness was something that existed on the edges of society. You'd encounter it every now and then. But these days we're outnumbered and the jerks have begun to encroach on our everyday activities.

I've been out at dinner with the Missus, looked around and saw that nearly everybody was staring at their phones. <30 years old are the bulk of the offenders, although older peeps are guilty of this as well.

We were at The Palms a few months ago, and stopped for her to have a drink before a show. There were a couple in front of us, and another to the side. The couple in front of us, two women in their mid-late 20s, were both on their phones the entire time. They would stop to take selfies, then go back to staring at their phones. The couple to the side of us were also women but were in their 50s. Both just talked to one another, and enjoyed their drinks. No phones at all.

I was skiing up in Utah last month...and there they were, texting and taking selfies, staring at their phones. The base elevation was 9700 feet above sea level. Amazing scenery all around us, before you even click into a snowboard or pair of skiis....yet there these dipshits were, glued to their phones and taking pictures of themselves.

I find it all rather pathetic to be honest.

The phone is amazing in many ways. Finding places, instant GPS, reviews etc. I was in LA last week and it was a breeze because of that phone. 15 years ago I would have had to look at an atlas and figure out the highway system. That really isn't too long ago! So yes, the phone has some awesome things and it very useful.

But we have an entire generation now that is socially inept at the same time.
