Well, we were talking about people using their phones in places that they actually have no right to use them. As it has already been said above, the theaters expressly forbid the use of cell phones inside the theater during the movie. The problem is that they rely on the “honor” system, which doesn’t work with people who have no honor. I always put my phone in “do not disturb” mode when I enter the theater. I don’t want to be called, and I don’t want anybody else to be called during the show. I probably wouldn’t even notice if the signal was jammed, and I certainly wouldn’t mind it being so.

The way I see it, it’s my right (granted by the theater with their aforementioned “ban” on phone use) to not have to hear somebody’s phone while I’m watching the movie. The phone users are the ones denying my right with their self-appointed privilege of using their phone in an inappropriate time/place. I wouldn’t use a phone jammer myself, because I’m not really the vigilante type. But there have been times I would have been glad to have one operating in my proximity. People are just straight-up rude!
