I realize there are times when some people forget to turn off their call phones.

There are times when the "vibrate" function should be used. Doctors offices ask you to turn off your cell phone and they definitely should be turned off in church and or at wakes/funerals.

To not turn them off or on "vibrate" is just being disrespectful of where you are and to other people. I don't for the life of me seem to get why some people think they are so important in that they have to receive every message or have instant access. I personally don't answer my cell phone if I am driving, Period, no exceptions. They can wait till I get to my destination or pull off the side of the road.

They do serve a vital function in that if you have an accident or get stuck on the road, you have the means to call for help, Other than that, give me an answering machine any day.
