Several things about cell phones annoy me - the obnoxious ring-tones many people choose - if you're in a business situation turn it off, or at leats set it to vibrate rather than ring.
Well stated!
The one place I've seen them in use that totally blows my mind is in men's rooms - I've seen people start or continue their call while they're busy at the urinal. ...
No telling how many Man Codes are being broken when they do this!
I'm also amazed at the number of women who enter stores talking, talk all the time they're in the store, leave the store talking and then get in their cars and drive away while still talking.
Seriously, as someone who teaches self-defense classes:
DON'T DO THAT! When violent offenders have been interviewed in prison, they outline how they pick their targets. They look for women who are disorganized, talking on cell phones, digging for their keys, generally unobservant. They sum them up as better targets than the women with keys in hand, head up, watching, eye contact, etc.
Minimally, parking lots are very dangerous places, for minor fender benders, kids running out in front of cars, etc. Parking lots need your total attention, men and women both.
