The stupidest thing I've ever seen anyone do or say in relation to a phone:

Russell Crowe throwing his phone at a concierge seems pretty stupid, most people's cell phone etiquette seems pretty stupid to me as well, especially loud push-to-talkers in the airport.  If you have no idea how to use technology properly why broadcast that to everyone within 200 yards? Although I am somewhat of a loud talker. :)
