More and more people are forgetting about proper cell phone manners. What I mean is the loud, rude attitude that almost everybody carrying a mobile phone is becoming guilty of. The annoying ring tones and the incessant yakking spare nothing; not even weddings, funerals, and presentations. And I'm not kidding about this. Just ask a lot of salesmen, executives, doctors, lawyers, and practically anybody. They’ll know what I’m talking about. From avenues to movie theaters, from classrooms to conference rooms, from diners to churches, rude cell phone users can victimize you. They practically forget basic courtesies. I know a lot, and I mean a lot, of businessmen who have quite a few anecdotes to tell about this attitude. One of my favorites is about a speaker who was doing a demonstration. When his cell phone rang, he immediately stopped and answered his phone! This is absolutely flabbergasting, and needs to be stopped right now. A recent survey says that carrying out loud conversations in public is the worst habit of cell phone users. Moreover, poor cell phone etiquette is observed by almost everybody at least once a day. But let us be clear on one thing. Cell phones are not the issue here. People are. The sales of cell phones are rising. So are the decibel level and the rudeness. Wireless technology is being abused all around us. It's time to take a stand against it. Here are some dos and don’ts. Don’t take a personal call in the middle of a business meeting. This rule also includes meetings with co-workers or subordinates, and job interviews. You’ll be surprised to know how many job applicants flunk this one. Do not subject others to your phone conversations. We do not need to know the humdrum details about your life. People around you should have the luxury of not hearing your chitchat. And remember to keep all conversations short and simple. Do not hold a phone conversation inside concert halls, elevators, libraries, churches, cemeteries, infirmaries, restaurants, museums, or any other enclosed public spaces. Try also not to hold an intimate phone conversation while in public. If you really must, get an earpiece, so that you can control the volume of your voice. Don’t set your ringing tone to play La Cucaracha every time someone calls you. Do we really have to listen to this nonsense? Grow up! Stop trying to multi-task with your phone. Avoid making calls while shopping, walking the dog, waiting in line or doing other personal business. Lastly, inform everyone that you’re now following improved cell phone etiquette, and ask them to do the same. It’s very important. Technology and good manners can live in peace together. Just ask the millions of Internet users, who’ve adopted the rules for email etiquette. You can always use the vibrate function, use voice mail, or go to a secluded area before making a call. All it takes is a little bit of consideration.
