Cell Phones And Being Available
Are you sure that you really want to be available for everyone to call you 24 hours a day? I know I do not. I will never forget when the power company called to pitch me their new averaging payment plan while I was standing at the copier at work! I was so mad. As the cliche goes; the more you make yourself available, the more available everyone will expect you to be. People will get mad when they can not reach you once you have a cell phone. I can not tell you how many times I have heard someones cell phone ring while they are in a public bathroom.
In society today, cell phones are everywhere. People talk on cell phones everywhere which is really annoying. Like waiting in line at the grocery store and the bagger has asked the lady in front of you if she wants paper or plastic but she is too busy having some menial conversation to even hear the guy. Get off your cell phone and answer the bagger and stop holding up the check out line! I hate cell phones.
Cell phone etiquette is getting to be a forgotten concept. You will see people talking on the phone loudly and disturbs people nearby in restaurants and even in offices. I am sure by now, once or twice in a meeting you will notice that when a cell phone rings, almost everyone around will immediately look for their cell phones. If you were the one talking, and then the person in front of you talks on his phone, how would you feel? I am sure you will feel belittled and ignored. Rude practice, and should be changed.
Cell phone users need to learn cell phone etiquette. A cell phone should never be used at work or in public places unless someone is dying or something. I mean how many times have you gone up to a co-worker to talk business and they are talking on their cell phone about a non-business issue and you have to stand there and wait until they are done with their personal conversation? How dare you slow down my productivity at work. Makes me want to go to the boss and complain.
How about those people who have their cell phones on in church? You have your hands lifted, eyes closed, as the holy spirit starts to move and all of a sudden the lady next to you has her cell phone ring! Or what if you are up preaching and teaching and one cell phone rings. Everyone looks down to see if it is their cell phone. How rude to the person speaking. How would you like it if everyone turned away and started fit-tiling with their things if you were up in front of all those people speaking? Leave your cell phone in the car or turn it off.
During meetings, please turn off your cell phone; it is rude to have your phone ringing while somebody speaks. Disruption may cause problems especially when the meeting tackles extremely important issues. However, if you are waiting for terribly important call, you may use the vibrate mode of your cell phone to alert you when a call is in-coming and leave the meeting if you need to answer the call. You may also inform the possible caller that you are in a meeting and that you cannot be disturbed.
When traveling and if you are on-board an aircraft, you will be required to turn off your phone. This is because electronics devices may interfere with the aircraft's avionics. Thus, it is a requirement to turn of your phone for safety reasons. However, for extremely long flights, airline companies allow cell phone usage at a certain time, if you really need to make a phone call, use this time allotted if necessary.
Cell phone companies continue to cram more and more cool functions into their cell phones. Just remember though that buying a cell phone comes with responsibilities. New technology does not give you the right to be rude. The right for you to blab on your cell phone ends at my ear.
