My cellphone invention:
Some kind of interference circuit so that the phone will not work at speeds faster than 3 mph.
Like inside a moving vehicle.

1. ....add 'within 20 feet of a cash register' and you got a deal....
When I do my retail gig that is a pet peeve. Especially since a lot of people don't make the call 'til they actually get up to the register. :eyes:

3. Gotcha.

4. Or in a movie theater.
I hate cell phones with a passion. I own one, and have only used it about 5 times.

5. I thought about something like that for walking around NYC
Give you, say, a 50 ft. radius of quiet.

Problem is, such a device violates the law. :sigh:
