    Why should the meeting be interrupted for 5-10 minutes while I take my call?
    Well done Blurock! You have my respect. I wish a few more people had your cell phone manners.

    By observing the annoying behaviour of other people I seem to have built up a resistance to cell phones. It is a great instrument to enhance productivity if used correctly, but it can be very disruptive and annoying once the user gets addicted.

    Notice when a plane lands, the first thing people do is to switch on their phones and start making calls. No concern to other passengers in that cramped space before they let you out. Talking loudly about what they had for breakfast on the plane etc.

    Sit down at a restaurant and notice how the new arrivals sit down and start texting. No conversation at the table. Why do couples have an evening out if they don't talk? My wife and I recently observed a couple not talking 10 words and texting until they left after about 40 -50 minutes.

    At the start of meetings (and movies) people are always reminded to switch off. Why is there always an A&$ehole that does not know where the off button is?

    Talking loudly on the phone in public places. I am not interested in why Johnny dumped you! With a voice like yours I would have dumped you too!!!

    Enjoy your cell phones, but please do be responsible and considerate.
