Cell Phone Etiquette?

Nothing is scared anymore. You go shopping and hear someone arguing with a husband or boyfriend. Or a Grocery store and "what would you like for dinner honey/" Of worse they will read the list and ask if they need anything else.

You cannot even enjoy your meal in a restaurant for people talking on their phone and of course they have to yell over the noise so we all get to share the conversation.Who cares?

The worst part of all is it seems everywhere you look, people are driving with a phone in their ear. I thought the cell phone was for emergencies or way of communicating something important if you had no way to get to a phone. Not to mention the danger we are all in while they concentrate on the conversation that should have been done at home.

I liked your infoworld site, it really needs to be put into law. I think it has gone beyond etiquette and now is a risky business that is causing serious accidents. I think it should be reckless driving if using a phone and driving.

#1. i don't mind others using there phone just keep it down no need TO SCREAM! i mean it is 2008 not 1998

#2. love hearing others ringers.. just turn it down you don't need it on the highest/loudest setting and for peeks sake answer the dang thing! don't let it ring!!

#3. !00% agree and texting too! just shut the thing off! i don't want to hear your fingures tick tick tack push giggle!

#4. nip this in the bud! lol what are you smoking LOL but yes some people wantto look important but do you need a tool belt full of electronics for every role you play in life!

#5. Please pull over at the very least! this makes me wonder how many people have been on the phone when the driver talking got into an accident. Plus the way people drive anymore you need to look at the road not back and forth from phone to road use voice dial or something!

#10. Never had issues with that! but crazy make sure it's insured!

Love the list! If only people would follow it, the world would be a saner place.

It's fun watching older movies (10+ yrs and older) where entire plots are based on people unable to communicate. Where's a phone when you need one??? For the younger generation, it confuses them. My daughter asked me during one of these, "Why don't they just call the police on their cell phone?" It was at that moment that I realized what a dinosaur I am. :-)

I thoroughly accept as true with you. cellular telephones, iPods and different digital units are turning out to be somewhat a nuisance. The irony of all of it is that those have been all meant to income human beings and makes lives extra handy not extra stressful. one element I hate approximately human beings using cellular telephones is BLUETOOTH! i will walk by skill of persons conversing on their stupid earpiece element like they are CEO of a few extensive business enterprise. and then while they sit down to consume, they do no longer even evaluate taking it off. Texting, such as you pronounced is likewise impolite on the dinner table. My sister has been interior the habit of texting on the incorrect cases. Very unhappy.

I looooooooove #6! There's nothing more annoying than seeing people walking around with what they think is their cute little bluetooth in their ear and no one on the other end. GRRR! Do they think it makes them look cool or something? Good for you, you have a bluetooth! Now put it in your pocket before I snatch it out of your ear!

I completely agree with all of them except the last one. I have to have my cell phone with me when I go out to lunch with co-workers in case my children's school happens to call for whatever reason...Sometimes I can tell that this is looked down upon by certain co-workers but oh well, that's their problem!

Absolutely! And while thou art at it, wouldst thou please keep thine in-person conversations in public places low enough that thou dost not subject everyone else in the vicinity to them?

P. S. Right on, Chris! Remember when teenagers used to take the family phone into a closet to have some privacy?

That and people just have no class anymore.

If I wanted to know the most intimate details of your life....I would ask. You don't need to broadcast them to everyone in a 20 foot radius.

People are so loud these days. They just want to broadcast all their personal details for everyone to hear. It is very irritating.

No sense. Agree.
