After 16 hours blathering, woman doesn't understand why she got the boot In an epic incident of the pot calling the kettle rude, a Tigard, Oregon woman said she felt "disrespected" after police escorted her from an Amtrak train mostly because she refused to get off her cellphone — for 16 hours.

Beard's rudeness wasn't accommodated by some unknown super phone, but by Amtrak's handy cellphone charging stations.
In a follow-up interview with KATU.com, Beard confirmed she was blathering away on her mobile device, but that "she didn't understand why she had to be escorted off the train."
Like many communal commuter-based agencies, Amtrak does have a policy against obnoxious blathering, specifically in "quiet cars" like the one Beard was annoying her fellow passengers in, again, for 16 hours.

Good riddance to that Amtrak train ride to hell!
