I was in a restaurant when an Amber Alert warning went out to everyone's cell phone...

Except that my phone didn't go off because I had turned off the Amber Alert notification unlike everyone else in the restaurant.

Got a story that can outdo that one, share it and vie for the title of King Schmuck of the Universe.

1. That happened in my office a couple of weeks ago.

Everyone said to me, 'You can cut that off? How?'

2. Wow what a bunch of heartless jerks who don't care about kidnapped children.

That's what I felt like everyone was talking about me while they shot eye lasers at me.

3. I guess theirs never went off at 3 am. n/t

4. My Prism TV puts out Amber Alerts using the same blaring tone as for weather alerts

I HATE those. First off, I am seldom anywhere where there are children. Second, the alerts come while I am at home where there are and will be no children. Third, it always gets my adrenaline up because I think it's a weather alert for a tornado or something. Fourth, the Amber Alerts are for the entire state, not just my area.

Oh - the final thing that pisses me off is that there is no way to look up information on the Amber Alert so I can see if it might be my area, what child is missing, where they might be, or any description of what to watch for even if I were out to look for a kidnapped child!
