I agree with you raindance. It's just common curtesy that people are forgetting to use and especially when it comes to cell phones. My boss always puts his on vibrate when he's in a meeting, and he KNOWS I'll only call him when its an emergency, or he's asked me to if a certain person calls that he's expecting.
I agree in reasturaunts it's very rude to be on the phone chatting away and the phones are ringing all over the place, and everyone looks around to check their own phone. Sheesh, what did we do before cell phones.
Our priest has a strict rule for the one hour your with him, turn it of, leave it out in the car or if you HAVE to have it put it on vibrate. He doesn't want to hear them ring at all! I can't blame him there, how annoying, for one hour during service you can't be without it? He's a good guy and boy does he give a look when he hears those phones ring during service.
OK off my soap box now. There has to be rules and ettiqute especially in an office, nothing more annoying when your in a meeting with your boss, and your cell phone rings. Amazing how many people jump to answer them, most of the time it's the significant other or wife/husband calling. My hubby won't call unless it's an emergency, even then your more likely to get a text message from him asking me to call him.
