I remember being at a Linux conference and commiserating with a
speaker about the rudeness of people who leave their mobile phones
on during the talk. He was particularly annoyed by one in the
talk he had just finished. Not only had someone's mobile phone
gone off, said the speaker, but "And then he answered it!"

In the talk, sitting in the audience. 

I have complained before about people who sit using their laptops
and IRCing in talks, but that one was just amazing. 

I drag in the "at a Linux conference" to pretend it's on-topic,
but I think possibly follow-ups to grrltalk or somewhere :)
