Camera phones popping up in front of me while I am trying to enjoy an event. So annoying! I luv taking pix but I always make sure I’m not blocking someones view. I try to anticipate the shot and stand behind the crowd.
Cheers

This has become an increasingly prolific behavior at concerts, restaurants etc.
I was recently at the "Music goes Bang" show & could not see many of the performances

Because of the many people holding their phones in the air to film the entire concert
I had to say something to the very rude people doing this a couple of times
when they held those damn phones right in front of my face.

The cell phone issue has become indicative of a current lack of manners & etiquette
that is a generational issue, I for one, never take my phone to meals, family time, movies etc.

I find nothing more rude then a person taking out a cell phone to take a call or text
during a meal, movie etc.

Times sure have changed & not for the better.
