I wrote a few weeks back about cell phones and my general dislike for them [link]. I don’t own one, though I did buy one for my wife two years ago as a Christmas present. Tech Central Station has an anti-cell phone piece called Beyond Cell Phone Etiquette that’s really good. The author laments about how taking a long train ride or bus trip or even waiting on line at the post office is now ruined by what he calls a cancer: cell phones!! This guy really hates the cell phone rings and tones and how they “..send a shockwave of minor panic throughout the public locale”. He has ten rules of etiquette for using cell phones in public that make sense to me. Unfortunately, the people who need to read them are those louts who are always talking on their phones or allowing them to go off in church or at a concert.
