Yakker yanked

A woman spent sixteen hours talking on her cell phone ... on a train ... in a designated "quiet car," where cell phones are not allowed and conversations are to be kept at a low volume. That, apparently, led to a confrontation with other passengers. According to one account,
Lakeysha Beard of Tigard was charged with disorderly conduct after police said she got into a “verbal altercation” with passengers on the train. The other passengers complained she refused to put down her cell phone, even after train staff made repeated announcements for passengers to not use cell phones, according to police.

When a passenger confronted her about her loud talking, police said Beard got aggressive.
She was removed by police from the train in Salem, Oregon.

She claims to have felt "'disrespected' by the entire incident."

You gotta be kidding me.

Lady, you don't know what disrespect is until you've been forced to endure somebody else's inane conversation(s) for sixteen straight hours.

If it's physically within your power, just shut up.
