Etiquette Challenge #1: Cell Phone Talker

Etiquette Challenge #1: Cell Phone Talker

Is it ok to talk on your cell phone while you’re getting your hair done, ordering food, standing in line at the bank, casually strolling the racks at a trendy boutique?

We’ve all been there.  You’re in a public place and your attention is snagged by a  person’s personal cell phone conversation and you:

  • Try to ignore it
  • Silently fume while sending them dirty looks
  • Move closer to eavesdrop
  • They guy on phone is cute, so it’s ok
  • The girl on the phone is so snotty you wish you could disconnect her call
  • They are talking way too loudly for the surroundings
  • You leave
  • You complain to your friend
  • You complain to a manger

What would you do? What do you think? What have you done in the past? When is it never ok to talk on a cell phone? Chime in, tell us how you feel, email us other etiquette challenges.

The Etiquette Challenge is a regular blog feature we’ve brought over from our Facebook page.
