Bravo, say people like Vinnie Bartilucci, a computer programmer from Lehigh Valley, Pa. Among his methods for countering loud cellphone talkers is to place a small recording device he carries for work on the table next to the offender.

Mr. Bartilucci did just that last summer at a McDonald's in lower Manhattan, soliciting the logical question: What are you doing? (Which was punctuated by an expletive.) "I said, 'Well, since you obviously want me to hear your conversation, I’d better keep a copy of it,'" Mr. Bartilucci recalled.

Reminds me of when a student came up to ask me a ref question and answered his phone while I was helping him. He then doubled (quite possibly trebled) my ire by telling the person, "I'm in the computer lab." Thankfully, they don't let me have sharp objects while I'm on-desk.
