From my experience here...Sparks is NEITHER "willfully ignorant or just genuinely hasn't acquired the experience to understand."

LOL well to be honest.... when they just start off rolling their eyes at me from the beginning of the thread... I just like to see the hackles raise more and more. the rolly eye thing is the "in" thing you know... all the cool kids are doin it. But you know I MUST see their valid points... even though I don't roll my eyes at them lol but that request is rarely returned lol and ALWAYS with rolly eyes hehehe. My view is... if you can't start out the debate without resorting to the roll eyes or sarcastic remarks (not nessecarily LH right away) then I shouldn't have to be the civil one either... it's not a fair request

hehe just teasin... I don't really care either way. But I believe that if they had actually read my posts they would see that I did concede to there being a time and place for the cell phone calls but that the hospital should not be responsible for babysitting the people who just MUST have their cell phone glued to them at all times at full volume. But apparently... that was not enough. I just don't get why people can't see that their loud cell phone ringers (that get more obnoxious each year with all the new special ring tones that you pay a fortune for) and their loud yakking and carrying on might not be appropriate in a hospital setting. If everyone were able to be curteous and be quiet... I might be more apt to agree with cell phone use in the hospital. But most cannot so I think there is a time and place for everything and you should at least try to find an area that isn't filled with people or patients to use your cell phone. I don't think that is an absurd request lol.

Karen, I remember my mom saying that to me one time and I purposely held the face I was making for a long time just to prove her wrong... it didn't stick... but boy was my face sore lol. What about the "if you don't sit back from the TV you will ruin your eye sight" I never believed that one and I have perfect eye sight... for now. but now both of my parents wear glasses so I know it's onlly a matter of time *bites nails anxiously* i wish we had a smiley for that lol a nailbiting smiley.

LH, people shouldn't remain speechless but they certainly should keep their talking to a dull roar. there is no need to be loud and obnoxious in a hospital. whisper.... and you can talk all you like. If you are talking loud enough that they can hear you down the hall... you should be asked to take your convo elsewhere. And apparently many people think you have to yell for the other person to hear you on a cell phone.

OHHHHHHH and those stupid walkie talkie phones. Now you don't even have to dial and hold the phone to your ear.... you can just press a button get a loud BEEP BEEP BEEP and get a loud voice projecting out of the speaker of the phone. Now I don't get those at all. There was a guy in the restaurant using one the other day LOL
