One in 10 Brits favours slapping an anti-social behaviour order (ASBO) on
'inconsiderate' mobile phone users, according to a survey by comparison website
Moneysupermarket.com.
The survey canvassed the opinion of 2,000 UK adults on their pet mobile phone
hates.
The results suggest that more than half of us regard a 12-month ban on using
a handset in public as a fair punishment for talking too loudly on the phone in
public.
Other major annoyances cited by respondents include mobile users who play
music too loudly, swear into the phone in public and make calls while in
restaurants.
Men proved to be most in favour of ASBO-style punishments. Two-thirds were
keen on a year-long ban for anti-social mobile phone behaviour, compared to just
50 per cent of women.
