You, like many other people in this thread, totally missed the blatant sarcasm. But I quoted you cause you'd think you would have gotten it since you remember him yelling at everyone who was complaining about being entitled to hold their phone however they want so therefore you should be able to see the satire in his post.
The irony indeed.
a) the OP is always sarcastic and caustic - believe me - it wasn't "wasted" on me or missed.
b) while tongue in cheek (the gripe) - I don't believe it was completely meant as a joke. Satire mixed with a truth that is trivial, but that he wanted to "let out"
c) my post was also tongue in cheek and satirical in nature
You're giving him too much credit and me not enough.
