iPhone Pest

I went to watch a water puppet show this evening. I could describe it, but you'd be better off doing a search on YouTube. That's because so many people were filming the show on their various devices - phones, cameras, handicams etc.

The woman in front of me (late middle age, possibly German, but could've been from further north in Europe) was a right pain. She insisted in holding her iPhone up in the air whilst recording large chunks of the performance - this was more often than not right in my line of sight to the stage. I tapped her shoulder and asked her to put her phone down several times, but she just seemed oblivious. I also resorted to kicking the back of her chair in a childish protest. The lady sat next to me also wasn't too impressed.

When the lights came up at the end of the show I gave her a very withering, British style stare when I caught her eye. That'll teach her!
