CELL PHONE ETIQUETTE
- DON'T
MAKE OR TAKE CALLS when
you’re in a confined space such as a bus, train, restaurant,
doctor’s waiting room or anyplace where those around you will be
forced to listen.
- TURN YOUR PHONE OFF
completely
during public performances such as concerts, lectures, movies,
your child’s piano recital, plays, and yes, even sports events.
And if you forget, don’t pretend that’s not your pocket ringing,
singing or imitating the mating call of some wild animal. Turn
the phone off immediately and under no circumstances answer it.
- DON'T
DIAL AND DRIVE !!! ------- DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE !!!!
------
And if you’re going to talk and drive, be honest
about whether or not you can really give the road your full
attention even while using a hands-free head set.
-
DON’T YELL. Background noise
where you are is what causes you to raise your voice on a cell
phone. Look around; if people are giving you the hairy eyeball,
lower your voice, call back later or take the conversation
elsewhere.
What can you do if someone else is lacking Cell
Phone Etiquette ?
In many public places you can simply walk away or change your seat. In enclosed spaces you
might try tapping the yakker on the shoulder and asking them to
please lower their voice or perhaps take their conversation
elsewhere
