Here's an example. You are sitting in the waiting room at a doctor's office. You maybe have brought a book to read. You spend the entire wait listening to someone on their cell phone yacking about nothing really and it dominates the room. Yes, people do talk to each other in waiting rooms, but when you are sitting beside someone you tend to talk quietly and sometimes folks even whisper so as to not disturb others. Cell phone talkers must of necessity talk louder. Also, do they really think we are interested in hearing their conversation. I think in this instance they should have the thoughtfulness to step outside much as they would do to smoke. It's just courtesy. JMHO.

Also, cell phones ringing in church. Did anyone ever hear of the vibrate option? Unless you are a physician on call and it is an emergency I see no need to have a cell phone turned on in church. If they must they should use vibrate.
