Biggest Tech No-Nos 8

Being a bad customer with gadgets
Ever worked in retail or as a waiter? If so, then listen up. If someone is trying to help or wait on you, don't keep listening to music or yapping into your phone. At best, you're making others wait, and, at worst, you're saying, "You're not important to me, servant." Either way, this obnoxious behavior is easily remedied by, at the very least, removing one headphone or putting your call on hold. You have no excuses.

I loved the one about rude customers in a retail store who are on the phone when store employees are trying to help them, and they can not put the call on hold. These morons should have their phone taken away or shoved where the sun does not shine.

It's cell phone use in general that's the scourge. I have one too, but for crying out loud... If people are swerving in the lane, if they're speeding, if they're suddenly slowing down in front of you, if they fail to signal, if they cut a turn WAY too close, if they run a red light, it's bad enough. But when I see them on the phone, too, it sends me somewhere else. You're going to wind up on a stretcher... I don't wan't to be in the hospital in the bed next to you as they try to remove a Voyager from your ***.

When I see someone absorbed in conversation on their cell phone and they won't look at me I just go on to the next customer whether they were next or not. If they're too busy to look up at me then I ignore them right back. If they complain I just say "I'm sorry but you seemed too be busy to be waited on". Rudeness begets rudeness.
