There are many places that using the cell phone is acceptable and many times expected.
Lets talk about some areas talking on a cell phone is a big NO NO.
- In church. You don't need a cell phone to talk to God so don't bring it in.
- At a funeral. This is not respectful so don't bring it in.
- At a nice restaurant. Give your undivided attention to the one you are with and respect the other diners that are spending their money for a special meal.
- Your child's sporting event. They grow so fast give them your time and attention.
- Theaters. Very annoying when you get to the best part in the movie and someone starts talking on their phone.
- In bed. Guys you wont be invited back if you even hesitate whether you should answer or not.
- In the public bathroom. Ladies this is for you. I wonder why I go into the public bathroom and ASSUME that when I step into the stall I am having a little bit of privacy. Never fails I hear someone in the next stall talking on their cell phone and doing their business. What makes them think the person on the other end wants to share this with them! I know I don't like the idea of sharing my privacy with an unknown person on the other end of a phone call!
- While your driving. Everyone thinks they drive safely while they are talking on the phone but statistics prove that wrong.
- While you are on an appointment. Let your potential client have your undivided attention. A matter of respect.
When you reach for the phone to answer or call someone think about where you are and who you may disturb.
