I can do what I want when I want.
And besides when I have a cell up to my ear or am holding a conversation with the air, I look very cool and very popular.
Or as the old joke goes. It's all mind over mater. I don't mind because you don't mater.
Sad very sad!!?!!]]>Jan 9th 2009 12:24PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/Jan 9th 2009 12:26PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/Jan 9th 2009 12:27PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/Another thing: Why do some people think they are so important that they have to inconvenience other people with their excesive cell phone usage? I can't tell you how many times I have stood in line at grocery stores, Target, WalMart, Starbucks, etc only to have the line stopped by some idiot on their phone who thinks their conersation takes precedence over conducting their business and getting on with it. Once, after standing in line at a WalMart for almost 20 minutes & hearing the person in front of yak away on their cell, I finally lost my patience when the cashier rang up their purchases & stood there waiting for this person to pay, only to have the person turn their back to the cashier and continue their conversation, including taking a call waiting. I lost it and reached out and took the phone out of her hand and told the caller "sorry,. she has to hang up now and pay for her stuff so she can stop holding up the line at Wal Mart. She will call you back." I then hung up the phone and handed it to the very shocked woman and said, "Hang up and shop, lady." I was given a very loud ovation by the people behind us in line. Man, It's not like her conversaton was a matter of life and death, she was gossiping about a co-worker something that could have waited.]]>Jan 9th 2009 12:32PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/
People abuse them, just like credit cards. Both are for convenience, not for extravagance. Too many acting like 'big-shots' when most, are NOT.

And Laura, *kudos* to you for stepping in and helping put a stop to this madness, I mean RUDENESS!!!! ]]>Jan 9th 2009 6:35PMhttp://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/http://www.switched.com/2008/12/23/25-rules-of-tech-etiquette-4/Jan 9th 2009 1:18PM
