Raunchy mobile lowers courtroom tone

A MAN was lucky not to find himself facing contempt charges when his highly embarrassing mobile phone ring tone rang out loudly in a packed courtroom.

The decorum in the Ipswich Magistrate's call-over court was shattered as the sound of a woman experiencing heightened sexual pleasure rang out for between 10 to 20 seconds.

Numerous people sat in the public gallery, including several local lawyers, struggled to choke back laughter in Court 1 as acting magistrate Roger Stark tried to ignore the ring tone and attend to the case before him.

The message repeated a woman moaning: "Oh, yeah ... yeah ... oh, yeah ... do it to me."

A man seated in the public gallery could be seen try to unsuccessfully turn off his phone as he also attempted to hide his obvious embarrassment.

Less than an hour earlier, prosecutor Constable Jo Little had warned people seated in the public gallery to ensure their mobile telephones were switched off or risk having them confiscated by the presiding magistrate.

Most, if not all, Queensland courts have clear, obvious signage near the front of every courtroom informing people to ensure their phones are switched off.

Several magistrates have also adopted the practice of confiscating mobile phones that ring in court, while many others publicly chastise people who fail to turn them off.

While Mr Stark chose to take no action against the man, he could have held him to in contempt of court.

The man could have also found himself charged with causing a public nuisance - which carries a maximum sentence of six months jail.

Yep...that's embarrassing!

I was visiting hubby in the hospital once and standing at the elevator near a GIANT sign that said to turn off cells. Some girl was sitting beside the sign talking very loudly into her cell to someone that seemed to be telling her to shut up.

I was livid!

If the elevator hadn't opened when it did I'd of had a few choice words for her ignorance! Later when I told hubby about the incident he was glad to know I held my tongue and that I didn't have to wait any longer for the elevator to arrive.

I was at a four-way stop here in town and when a car to my left went it was my turn. Fortunately I didn't rush because a second car started going through just as I was starting to move. I beeped the horn only to have the lady point to her cell phone like because she was talking she didn't have to obey the signs.

How rude DB you hooking your horn when she was trying to talk on the phone.

Perhaps she was receiving directions from someone on the phone and they didn't tell her to stop.

Complete surrender should not just come at moments in which one faces overwhelming odds, but in the calm when it seems one is personally in complete control of one's life.

Gosh, you guys are right. What was I thinking.

It's quite incredible how many of us are such inconsiderate assholes to keep interupting these peoples' important cell phone calls...

I quit counting the close encounters I had with the distracted dickheads during today's runs when I ran out of fingers...besides, I kept losing count when I had to raise one particular finger in the international salute...

I used to tell my kids I was just letting that guy know he's Number One in my book
