He wears an ID bracelet with my info in there and our alarm system at home has the number as well. This gives us both needed independence. When we are together, it is either off or silenced.

I DO NOT sit and engage in idle chatter.
I don't think that was in any way directed at you or others in your situation, dillywho. But the phone can be on vibrate and still get the job done.

And if people absolutely have to communicate while in a restaurant, they can walk outside while answering the phone.

We've had breakfasts next to contractors communicating with each other in walkie-talkie mode--loud beeps followed by loud voices. Rude, inconsiderate, and unnecessary.
