Almost there

Today, I took a very expensive flight to New York City for a job interview. I waited in my hotel room all day for the phone call to go to my once in a lifetime interview. By noon, I was nervous; eight, I was pissed. Around ten, I realized my phone was still in airplane mode. FML

There's a reason it's called AIRPLANE mode. He took a flight, and it's required so as to not disrupt their instruments. You've been logic'd dumbass.

it's not necessary to turn on airplane mode when flying. you can also simply turn off your phone. I've never even flown before and I know this...

Why use airplane mode anyway? Turn it off on the plane, turn it back on once off the plane. It's the same thing.

I don't know about your nokia, but a lot of people now days have what's called a "smart phone" where you can download a crapload of apps like games to entertain yourself even if the actual "phone" portion is inactivated. So, in reality, turning your phone off is not the same as putting it in "airplane mode"

Because airplane mode let's you use your phone for other things

Exactly! Nobody knows how to read a book nowadays. Sometimes the person sitting next to you's got a story that's actually worth listening to.

Belive me, there are no radiosignals sending or receiving when it's turned off.. I could tell you a lot about mobile phones, smartphones and computers, but I simply can't have a serious argue with a man wearing a tinfoil-hat!

Your nerves probably got the best of you. Honest mistake, this kind of stuff happens to me all the time. I let my brain get ahead of what I'm doing.

You should just turn your cellphone off when you're on the plane rather than put it on airplane mode. Less to worry about and you can just turn it back on when you get off. Not that hard :/

Some people have this magical thing called a "smartphone". This wondrous device lets you download apps to entertain yourself. This is most likely beyond your Neanderthal brain, but it IS real. How magnificently splendiferous.

Well, also some members of society still do this activity called reading, wether for the knowledge, or the enjoyment. I, for one, am one of these people. It bothers me to extremes when people say that they cannot live without their iPod/phone/laptop. It is amazing that people can become that intimate with material items, where I would rather delve into a fictional world created by extremely talented writers who devote most of their life to writing. So you can say sorry for being so ignorant, and by the way, we aren't that far of from Neanderthals either. You won't believe where I learned that. READING. So please just stop trolling upon this innocent member, and troll on other sites, like twitter, which sucks already. Good day sir.

Haha ok you techno-addicts. I was just suggesting the SIMPLE way. Doesn't mean I'm "trolling". Sorry if I'm a person who can actual detach myself from technology for a few hours and pick up a BOOK or talk to the person beside me on the plane.

I was in a similar position on a trip to San Diego. The only thing is I wasn't upset. I ended up keeping it that way my whole vacation. :-)
