I have to agree with Pam here. I don't dislike cellphones or the use of them. But, why is it necessary for you to talk so loudly? If you do, then you are invading my space and you are very distracting. I have no interest in your conversation whatsoever.

It seems as though the cellphone has become some sort of god, that must be obeyed. I just read that they have become such a nuisance that a book of ettiquete will soon be published for the ignorant.

Why should you have to be taught consideration and manners - why should a minister/priest/rabbi have to stop his sermon and comment on the ringing of a telephone?

Cellphones have become a godsend in countries that never had basic telephone services.

But there is the feature of voice mail - and you could retrieve the message later.

It isn't a matter of whether you are "so not into them" - but it might be a matter of "you are so into yourself and this device that must be obeyed".
