Running this irritates me thread

    Was at the driving range yesterday hitting balls.

    Redneck trash behind me comes up yapping away loudly on his cell phone. I wanted to hit him with my 5 iron. Kindly step away from the fucking range if you want to talk on your phone. Right on the range isn't the place to do it. He had three redneck idiots with him, and I wasn't in the mood for confrontation, which is why I didn't say anything. But damn.

    Raises one of my great pet peeves -- people who demand absolute quiet on the golf course. You can yell and laugh and shoot off cannons when I am hitting the ball, I don't give a rat's. I wouldn't do it, but I really don't care if others do.

    Make the game more fun than a funeral.

    I don't demand absolute quiet. You can't get rid of ambient sound (birds, planes overhead, etc.) anyway. But this dude was right behind me yapping like he was in his office. Not cool. Saw someone else talking on his phone, but he was away from the range under a tree so he wasn't bugging everybody else. There's a happy medium, for sure.

    I'm with cosmo on this. While a personal preference might not dictate total silence, there are rules of decorum involving golf, and NOT talking is one of them.

    Even if it's just the driving range.

    Don't limit it to the driving range. It sounds like something that would give me the red ass in many settings.

    Yeah, go ahead and say it: holy bull = UCLA library chick
