He became so irritated by his fellow passengers talking loudly on their cell phones that he bought himself a cell phone jamming device and started to turn it on whenever their chattering began to get on his nerves during the journey. <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>Eric was caught in the act recently by NBC10 but he was far from intimidated by being sprung.&nbsp; \u201cI guess I\u2019m taking the law into my own hands and frankly, I\u2019m proud of it,\u201d he told NBC10 investigators who challenged him.&nbsp; \u201cA lot of people are extremely loud, no sense of just privacy or anything.&nbsp; When it becomes a bother, that\u2019s when I screw on the antenna and flip the switch.\u201d <\/p>\n<p class=\"mb10\">\n<\/p><p>However, despite Eric\u2019s belief that \u201cit\u2019s more of a grey area\u201d, cell phone jammers are illegal, and the man later said that he had disposed of the device after discovering this.&nbsp; Nonetheless, a great many people would no doubt have sympathy with someone who just wanted to ride the bus without having to listen to the incessant chatter of those around him.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A \u2018vigilante cell
