And yes, to all the compulsive SMSers, I'm sure YOUR text messages are extremely important and/or interesting, but seriously, it's just fucking rude to be fiddling around on your phone while somebody else is trying to talk to you. It's way more rude than just having the ringer go off and stepping outside to take the call - at least that way you only look like a tool for the 20 seconds it takes for you to step outside, not for 20 minutes while other people wait for your half-assed responses.
There are times when it's important to respond to an SMS. 99% of the times people actually do it, it isn't one of those times. Cell phones are alright, but SMS gets my vote for worst invention ever. |
lol @ SMS police.
But yea', don't even get me started on cellphone etiquette.
- People answering phone calls, or leaving their ringer on in a restaurant or when having a meal with others
- People answering their phone when you're in the middle of a conversation with them, and then proceding to start a conversation with the person on the phone.
- People answering their phones at all when you're in the middle of a conversation with them (couldn't it wait 5 minutes)
- People getting mad at you because you didn't answer your cell phone. (ie. people thinking that just because you have a cell phone, they have a god-given right to be able to reach you)
The list goes on.
