Etiquette 101 ............. CELL Phone Usage




Don't you just hate it when people are on their cellular phones,and speaking as if they learned how to whisper in a helicopter.

What prompted this post was while waiting taxing on the aircraft this guy next to me whips out his cellular phone and commences to have a full blown out meeting. Everyone in the entire aircraft could here him even in coach.

So, what I did to quail his verbal blog. I started chuckling. That got his attention. Then I just plastered an innocent smile on face and he got the message. So, here are a few rules for cell phone usage. TAKE NOTES!

2. One was just stated.............. Never use your phone at a dining table.

3. Try not to use your phone while on a date, or even text while the other party runs to the restroom. They will assume that you are checking in with someone else.

4. CHURCH, masjid, synagogues, weddings, theaters, funerals,.................. Your phone should be on silent.

5.Allow your calls to go to voice mail when handling transactions.

6. If you are in the presence of a group you do not have to answer the phone all the time. Just simply excuse yourself. My all time favorite is stop nursing your phone while out with friends. You are at a lounge and you go into withdrawl because your phone is not lighting up like the Vegas strip. Just get over it. ABSORB THE MOMENT!


If you are still using a flip phone, then take a look at these.
Here are some of the latest cell phones I think are hot---ola!
ASK YOURSELF THIS? Could you survive 5 hours with this device?

Mr. Cosmo:

You may be the worst offender of using your phone constantly at lounges! Was this post some sort of self-healing? :)

Hmmm!
Evan, although I take your observation into consideration. I must contradict you in a gingerly manner. There is a slight difference to handle business(emails) over mere rhetoric via text.
Ciao!
