Writer's Block: Miss Manners

[boodie]

[Error: unknown template qotd]

Hands down, Mobile phones, people seem to think it's appropriate to have them turned on EVERYWHERE and that the people around them all want to hear their conversations, loudly most of the time.

Get a grip people, turn your mobile OFF when you're eating out, watching a movie, going to a funeral, visiting someone in hospital.

Oh, and to those people with the bluetooth headphone set things, no, they do not make you look cool, they make you look and sound like an idiot.

The thing I dislike most about mobile phones is how people will break off a conversation, mid word, to answer it. It seems to be worse with mobiles then with desktop phones.

My estimation goes up a notch when I'm in conversation with someone, especially a sales someone, and when their phone rings, they just reach down and hit the button to abort the call, instead of answering it.

Oooh yes.. that is sooooo freakin rude.. hello people you're already talking to someone, let it go to voice mail, OR if it's important they'll ring back..
