Unhappy Rude People Being Bred by Cell Phones

Your Thoughts Please
I hate cell phones and what they have caused people to become. People will stop in the middle of conversations to take a cell phone call; interrupt you to take a cell phone call. I was in a store recently where the sales lady, waiting on me, stopped to take a cell phone call. She motioned to me to put my things on the counter so she could ring them up. I just stood there. When she finally LOOKED at me, I said, "I'll wait". She promptly hung up, without so much as an apology. Yes, I carry a cell phone, but rarely use it. Mainly for emergency purposes and GPS facilities. If I fall, it will come in handy to call for help. And people just don't realize how rude and inconsiderate they've become since cell phone technology came along. In my opinion, someone who answers a cell phone while you're carrying on a conversation (or in a meeting) are saying, "This call is more important than you!"
