Cell phone Manners

DON'T DO IT! (in these places)

Museums/libraries/places of worship:

    These are places we go for peace and quiet - it's obnoxious to disrupt that for others.

 Movies and plays:

    People pay to hear someone other than you perform.

Elevators/bathrooms/beauty salons/public transportation:

    No one around you can escape. Why force them to listen to your chitchat?

Restaurants:

    People come here partly to get away from ringing phones and enjoy their conversations - so don't subject them to yours.

GOLDEN RULE: Put your phone on vibrate if you must get a call, but always wait until you're outside before you start talking.

WHILE DRIVING A CAR:

    It's rude to put other drivers in danger. So instead of going by the Golden Rules above, use a hands-free phone - and sparingly.

FYI: You are four times as likely to get into a car accident if you're on the phone while you're driving.
