When we go out to dinner with whoever, I tell them we don't do cell phones at the table.
Choices given...turn it off...don't answer it....leave the table if you just must not miss one....if they talk on the phone at the table I get up and leave...they get my bill.

I know how terrible of me, however not as terrible as those who just can't seem to do without.

I do the same with vendors.

Before I retired I used to have a rule in my conference room or business gathering...your phone rings and I get it. I never had to collect very many before the word got around.

How dare I? No...no...no how dare they be so inconsiderate.

Among other things I enjoy on a cruise is there are no jabber talkers on their cell phone. How do they make it all that time?
