Tech Etiquette: Cell Phone Dos and Don'ts 9

by Tom Conlon on August 26, 2009 at 12:30 PM


DON'T Include Us in Your Conversation
Exhibitionism in its worst form (Ashton Kutcher's Twitter life aside) is when you answer your cell phone in our presence and, as if that wasn't rude enough, proceed to try and loop us into your convo as if we're just dying to be included. You do this by rolling your eyes, whispering to us with your hand over the mouthpiece or generally looking to us for reactions to things we'd need Ben Stiller ears to hear. Don't do it; you're not fooling anyone with your faux inclusiveness, and really it's just annoying. Pick one person to speak with and act accordingly (see above).
