So what are you going to do about it?

How are you going to deal with this situation, right?

If the situation, assuming that the situation is, you know, one of the worst case scenarios, are you ready to handle it?

And what are you going to do in terms of handling it, right?

Well, one of the first things you're going to do is to figure out as much as possible what in fact it is.

So listen to your doctors and what they're saying.

Then get a good, reasonable estimate of...

what might happen in the near future, how long that future might be, and then you redirect, you reorganize your life accordingly.

You make the best use possible of that time.

Yes.

You have no idea how many times I got upset about that.

Because to me, this was inconceivable.

I would say to myself, how is this guy possibly not aware of the fact that in the middle of the movie, he's raising his phone and now everybody behind him is looking at his phone instead of the movie.

It's how rude.

How could you be so inconsiderate about that sort of stuff?

And then that will, of course, ruin my whole experience at the movies because, you know, what are you going to do about it?

I mean, sometimes I did go and confront the person, usually fairly nicely.

And I got all sorts of responses from the occasional polite, oh, I'm sorry, I didn't realize it.

To some funny people, you know, telling me off and reacting in a very angry fashion.

I have a right to, you know, do whatever they want with my phone.
