Who's at fault? - Nubblies.net Forums

A person calls a high school student during schools hours. The student unknowingly has their phone on them and the ringer is on. The student receives Saturday School for having a cell phone in class. Who's at fault and why?

The dumb bastard who called his high school girlfriend during an hour when he should've known she was in school, is at fault.

If you have a phone in class, at least be smart enough to turn it off.

Elegy · 02-06-2004, 03:41 AM

A. Don't call people that even have the possibility of being in class. Wait till after 6:00, I'd say.
B. Don't take your fucking phone to class. That's dumb as hell.

Well clearly the kid with the phone is 100% at fault, as far as he knows someone just wants to leave a text message or a voicemail.
A saturday school does seem a bit extreme for having a cell phone... did this really happen?
And don't bring that shit about not calling people when they could be in class... you never can memorize everyone else's schedules (and in highschool, study halls, breaks, and whatnot), so feel free to call anyone at anytime on their cell, if they have it on, its their fault.

It does seem really extreme, but just turn your phone off, you can always check voicemail and call people back during lunch or something...

Man i would love a saturday school....might get to see my hero bender!!!! That man makes me laugh everytime he is on VH1!!!!

f3lix · 02-06-2004, 04:41 AM

Yes this did happen, and the student is in high school; how soon we forget how strict high school is.

silver and cold · 02-06-2004, 12:09 PM

I take my phone to school everyday, and all you have to do is turn the ringer off!
I've had one problem and that was cuz i forgot to turn the vibrate off, and it hit my cd player... but my teacher didn't care so it was cool...

Huh. The whole cell phone thing right now is a moot point.

The intriguing thing is.......what the hell is a Saturday school, and please tell me that it hasn't been implemented by WCHS?

f3lix · 02-07-2004, 05:47 AM

you go for 3 to 3 1/2 hours on a saturday morning as punishment (for larger than detention stuff).

It has not.

I go to the highschool, and I almost always have my cellphone with me in class... but I ALWAYS have it silenced (vibrates). Every once in a while I'll check it to see if someone's let me a text message, and teachers never seem to care one bit. Even if somebody's phone rings, that person usually just feels really stupid, and quickly turns their phone off (happened once in one of my classes).

Is this an actual occurance, and where?

Anyways, I say that if it's at college, where class schedules are intermittent (sp?), I say it's nobody's fault... just a bad misshappening. I suppose the silly kid shoulda had the cellphone silenced, though.

I too go to the high school and always have my cell phone on, and occasionally forget to silence the damn thing, and despite a few mishaps where my phone has rang during class, I am yet to get in any trouble whatsoever. I often times find friends calling my cell to intentionally get me in trouble, or college friends forgetting the high school schedule and calling me, so I do not believe it is the callers fault. Just the person who forgets to turn thier phone off. But then again, a Saturday school is a bit drastic, therefore, blame the administration.

Since you're too stupid to read, I'll reiterate it for you.

Sorry about the first part of that, but you never answered the second. This obviously wasn't Warsaw, so what school was it?

...because if it was Warsaw, it'd probably be about some kid jacking off in study hall

f3lix · 02-09-2004, 02:24 AM

It was in Jasper, Indiana.

VOL · 02-10-2004, 12:19 AM

The caller is to blame. I hate when people's cell phones go off during class. I mean, if you call someone, you obviously know them well enough to know at that time they should be in class.

rla128 · 02-10-2004, 12:32 AM

Twice today I heard cellphones ringing, and twice today I heard teachers say, "Turn it off... I'll just pretend I didn't hear that."

Warsaw must not be THAT bad...
