Should You Need A License To Operate A Mobile Phone?

from the how-to-deal-with-idiots dept

It's no secret that there are a lot of idiotic people out there, and when you put mobile phones in the hands of such people, they tend to do (you guessed it) idiotic things. However, it seems a bit extreme to suggest that people should be required to get a license to operate a mobile phone. The suggestion appears to be (half) joking, but even the list of "example" test questions are a bit silly. Proper mobile phone etiquette is simple: don't annoy other people. Anything you do with your mobile phone that will involve annoying or potentially harming others is probably a bad idea. If it's not going to do that, then you're probably fine.

    Considering the amount of morons that use both, I'd push for the licensing :)
