Nah, Station, monitoring his favourite person, registers the disdain Hanners feels towards "Juicy", decides to..."take care" of the problem...
And promptly hacks Juicy's phone, tablet, laptop and every other device she owns, uploading all the photos to facebook and plasters her face everywhere, before sending a link to Juicy's employers. Juicy is fired and forced to move out of her apartment and takes to living on the street in a box that ironically says Juicy.
Hanners forces Station to apologise to the young woman whose life he destroyed.
Momo and May end up projecting two pony holograms, begging for the madness to stop.

--- Quote from: USS Martenclaire on 22 Mar 2016, 01:26 ---I'm not sure if cellphone jammers are the right idea. Granted, 95% of the time the call is probably chit chat but 5% of the time it could be someone in hospital or an urgent conversation with someone in a bad place. A coffee can often help me focus with calls like those.

A few years ago, I was behind a lady in a fast food place who was just getting ready to order when her phone rang. As she pulled it out, I was just getting ready to do the devastating eye-roll and heavy sigh combo for which I am justly famed when the friend with her turned to the line and said "Her husband's in Iraq, she has to take the call when it comes in because neither of them know when he'll get another chance." So, I've been a little more tolerant of people with cell phones in line ever since.
And yes, she did get out of line to go sit down and talk to hubby while her friend ordered for both of them.

More businesses need to have policies where employees are instructed under no circumstances to speak to anyone using a phone. They do not exist, and are but mere phantoms making noise to complain. I have worked at coffee shops like that. It was bliss, and those who were really throwing a fit were removed and sent to our Galasso-like boss. As a consequence, our regulars immediately went outside when they took a call, even at a table. I think the policy actually improved business since everyone else there was free from the blight of hearing one half of a conversation, usually at volume by some entitled prick.

Jeph should outsource any loose ends he doesn't want to bother tying up to The Perry Bible Fellowship
