I'm ticked, but thought about the problem...

I don't have any problem with people taking a phone call - I get the giggles when I am in the doc's waiting room and I hear a rap song - complete with a Mudder Effer in the lyrics - go off.

People do not realize just how stupid some of the ring tones sound. (I actually laugh harder when I hear a actually ring like an old fashioned ring-a-ding.)

Sometimes the only time I remember I do own a phone is when it starts to beep to tell me that it's about to die...

For Christmas Dinner my BF daughter and her friend were texting on their phone constantly.
I dont think their phones ever left their hand even to eat.
I rarely use my phone, but since I am a bit hard of hearing (I tend to talk louder)
If I do call or receive a call everyone around me knows my business.

when I worked in retail if someone came up to my register while they were talking on the phone, I'd stand there and stare at them. then I would say I'll wait till you're finished with your phone call. that usually did the trick but the line waiting behind her would be very annoyed. it always worked like a charm.

I'm always attached to my phone, but I don't use it when I'm about to pay for an item or anything of that like. I can put it down, even though we're best buddies , I just find that incredibly rude. You can be attached to your phone, but it's not going to kill you to put it down for 5 minutes. And the fact that their money wasn't ready is stupid. Um hello, you should've had your money ready to pay for your items, you knew you were going to buy something
