Texting, calling, and then texting again, this is a cycle that has become part of everyday life. While the cell companies come out with newer and better phones such as the ones that you can listen to music on or check your email, we as a people just find new ways to pay even less attention to what is going on around us. Annie Nakao has even stated that being on your cell phone in public is just absolutely rude!
To be honest, there are some situations that I would agree with Nakao that this is true such as, the doctor’s office, in the checkout line at the store. These places are typically the places I do not want to hear someone talking about how they need to get their nails done or how bitchy their boss was that day at work. Also it does not matter where you are if you are talking as loud as you can to the one on the phone, really can you not just ask them politely to turn their volume up? This is really not that hard and would allow you to be more polite to those around you when you are talking on your cell phone!
We all have seen the poor child sitting next to his mom or dad while they are cussing, as if cuss words were the only words they had ever bothered to learn, at someone that probably is not paying attention to something much more important that may be going on. THIS NEEDS TO STOP! Surprisingly cussing on the phone is neither in the time or place it should be when a child is nearby. If you must be on your cell phone in a public place at least remember to be polite to others around you that may not want to know your ENTIRE life story.
