When people let their phones ring endlessly. For God's sake - either answer it or mute it, don't just ignore it!

I was at a symphony concert where the guest performer was Yo-Yo Ma. And up in the cheap seats where I was, phones went off no less than FOUR TIMES during his performance.

It sure seemed like three of them were the same phone, but there were at least two different phones that went off.

How on earth do you not silence your phone going into a concert? And if you forgot to, how do you not silence your phone when someone else’s goes off? And most importantly, how do you not silence your own phone if it goes off?

During the applause the same person’s phone went off again and I just started laughing.

I later said Dvorak was remarkably far ahead of his time to write a piece for “solo cello, orchestra, and iPhone.”

This infuriates me to no end. I dont understand how these people live. Every few seconds is another notification. If its a Snapchat notification its even worse and I dont know why.
