My wife and I had an hour and a half meeting at someones office last week. During the meeting his cell phone rang twice and his land line rang three times. He did not even flinch when his phones rang or look over to see who is calling. He just kept the meeting going, completely ignoring the calls.

My wife and I were very impressed at his manners.

It is annoying being forced to have to listen to one half of someones cell phone conversation. I don't think half the people realize how irritating it is to have to listen to this...and the other half do, but selfishly could not care less about your annoyance.

Some people move their conversations away from others...but most seem too lazy or selfish to move.

Most people have the earphone volume cranked up so high that you hear both sides of the conversation anyway

The thing is as well that it annoys them when others do it, but are happy to do it to others themselves

I hate bluetooth earpieces in public. I about knocked some guy out the other day because I thought he was talking inappropriately to my wife in the line of the grocery store.

I always get a kick out of people who wear their bluetooth thingys around everywhere, on the phone or not--cell phone strapped to the belt...

I'm no fashion guru, but to me that screams NERD. I sometimes get the impression that they feel it makes them look important somehow...
