Talk about rude!

Seriously, folks. Where are the manners? You want to teach your kids good behavior yet what you “model” is clearly disturbing. Case in point: I’m at a parent meeting the other night at my area’s local counseling center to learn about a group my daughter is in at school. It was only ONE HOUR. Yet in the span of 30 minutes, at least five women’s cell phones rang. And they answered it! One: even in the middle of a question to the counselor. Sorry but I can’t help saying: How rude! Have you heard of “vibrate?” or the “silent” feature? Where have the manners gone?

I totally agree. My kids tell everyone the cellphone is my best friend, but at least I know when it’s not appropriate to have it ring. I’m embarrased when I forget to shut it off in high school orientation meetings, but I would never take the call. That is rude. I also think it’s rude when people go on and on in conversations in public places. I have no desire to know the details of your dental surgery, maritial infidelity, or your kids problems – I have enough of my own, so please put the phone on vibrate or just put it away. I have come to realize the world won’t end if I dont ANSWER RIGHT NOW. They’ll call back
I hate cell phones. Sometimes i am feel i am the only one that puts it on silent or turns it off where necessary. such as movie theatre or hospital.
I Also teach adults software for a major software company. not M$. Before i teach i have to tell the adults to please turn phones on sielnt. and without fail many dont and the class gets interrupted so i will stand there and stare until its handled. pretty soon people will just have a phone attached to the braain. not me of course. I wont get hacked.
I couldn’t agree more. And this extends to personal times to: I can’t tell you how many times I am in the middle of a one-on-one conversation with someone only to realize they’ve picked up their phone and began jabbering. I also have friends who pick up their kids from school talking away. Put the thing down and let your kid know you’re happy to see him! Here’s my rule: I look at the phone number, and if it’s not a school calling to tell me my kid is sick I don’t pick it up when I’m with others. Nearly all calls can wait.
Cell phones are not only rude, but totally inappropriate for most social environments.
If you are someone that is on-call, that’s one thing. Otherwise, put it on vibrate and let it massage your hip!
If you are in a meeting and awaiting a call FOR the meeting, that’s okay. If you are awaiting a call from a child, that’s also okay. Otherwise, the caller can leavce a vm and you can call them back later.
You should forfeit your right of participation if your phone goes off or you call out.
Don’t get me started on cell phones & driving, makeup & driving, reading & driving and the rest of it.
Its funny in NY and NJ it is supposedly against the law to talk and drive. but i see it every second of the day i am in the car. ear peices are as cheap ast 8 bucks. i have one. why cant others?
and then when the car almost hits you they give you a look of “hey didnt you know i was talking and swuriving towards you?” like its your fault.

I so agree!
You know what I think about this crazy cell phone stuff? I think
....hang on….
“hello?...hey! what’s up…no nothing, what are you doing….okay….yeah….yeah….yeah….i’ll call you later….okay….great….yeah….bye.”
I think answering your cell phone in a public place is very rude. I would never be caught dead doing something like that.
Hey Karen – I have news for you…”forgetting” to put your phone on vibrate IS rude. Period.
No one would ever think about answering the cell phone or driving with it… yet it goes on all the time. Interesting. I wonder where all the people glued to their cell phones are coming from.
One clod at the movie theater two weeks ago in Mohegan Lake took his call in the movie on speaker phonem, then checked his message. Talk about a brass set.
People also stop in the middle of an aisle to chat, I just push them out of the way… every few people will say to me “how rude”... I explain to them I didn’t want to be rude and interupt your cell phone converation in the middle of the store….
I feel it is time to spend more time counseling and group counseling kids and spending less time on “coking them to the gills”. And I`m doing fine after my surgery. WBR LeoP
