Leave me alone! I'm on my phone
Leave me alone! I'm on my cell phone
Date published: 1/4/2008
SOME PEOPLE are so rude! I was in a restaurant talking on my cell phone the other day, and I could barely hear a word my friend was saying because of all the noise. What is it with these people? Couldn't they see that I was on the phone? I mean, how rude! Even the waitress interrupted me. "Can I take your order?" she asked. "Give me a break!" I shot back. "I am on the phone here!" The woman huffed off. I should have called the restaurant's manager and had her fired. What kind of person interrupts someone who is on the telephone? During my entire 20-minute conversation, the people around me just kept talking and banging their forks and knives against their plates. Were these people raised in a barn? Didn't their parents teach them any manners? I am on the telephone and they just keep on eating and making noise! I wanted to just stand up and scream, "Will you people just shut up! Can't you see I'm taking an important call?" But I didn't. I've got too much class to do that. I just tried to carry on my conversation despite all the noise and rudeness. Still, the commotion was so bad I could hardly hear what my friend was saying about Brittany Spears' sister's pregnancy. And I never did understand what she said about Paris Hilton. Then that annoying waitress showed up again and mumbled something else about taking my order. "I'll give you my order when I get off the phone!" I shouted. "Now, just leave me alone while I'm talking!" She started to leave. "And ask these other rude people at that table to stop being so loud while I'm on the phone!" I yelled as the waitress walked away. My friend asked me what was going on and I said, "Oh, it's just the people in this restaurant being rude." She understood. This lack of telephone etiquette is everywhere. I was driving down the street not long ago and this crazy man opened his car door to get out just as I was dialing someone on my phone. "You idiot!" I screamed out the window. "You should know better than to get out of a parked car while I'm driving and dialing! I can't watch you and the telephone at the same time!"

these days with the Cell Phone Boom, nobody pays special attention to it when they see someone on their cell because EVERYONE is doing it~~so does that mean EVERYONE has to be quiet when someone is on their cell phone I THINK NOT!
late or very late ..

I glad someone was finally sticking up for my right to have loud conversations on my cell phone. It is so disturbing when someone ask you not to talk. This is America, right? Now I wish someone will let those pesky court baliffs and church ushers know not to interupt private conversations.

Unbelievable, but so true! Makes you wonder how these people survived before they had cell phones. For most people cell phones are a very useful tool, but it seems that for some it has become a serious addiction. Have you ever noticed the panic in a teenager that can’t find their phone? Even worse is one that can’t find the phone in the car while driving! Unfortunately it’s not just teenagers that have this problem.
