SHHH! - Society for Hand-Held Hushing
Published December 14, 2004
If I were the type to join a club - even one that would have me, a doubtful proposition - this would be one I'd seriously consider.
I stumbled upon it just now on some random website.
They even have a link on their site to a PDF file you can download to make your own membership cards to hand out whenever you want to improve your immediate aural environment.

Here what the inventors' website had to say:
- Shut Up Already
After reading a story in the New York Times, Jim's wife Heidi came up with a method to fight back against the obnoxious cell phone users that we all have to deal with in stores, restaurants, trains and pretty much everywhere else.
Can design ride to the rescue?
Jim and the incomparable Aaron Draplin think it can.
So, as a public service, we introduce the reasonably polite SHHH! - the Society for HandHeld Hushing.

It is a shame that politeness is not a required course.
I especially like the folks that use the speaker phone in public! That way I get to hear BOTH sides of the conversation!
n0 shhhht
It's the people who speak loudly enough to be herad by all, yet look offended if you appear to be listening in, that really make me laugh. HTe knuckleheads who are more focused on their conversation rather than the vehicle they are operating are deserving of a swift kick.
