Basic Cell Phone Etiquette Rules People Break
We have been using cell phones for a long time, but we still haven’t figured out how to use cell phones in public !
There are many basic cell phone rules of etiquette which people still can’t seem to follow. Talking too loudly, holding inappropriate conversations in public, interrupting conversations, checking phone at the movies, texting while driving, texting small talk, disturbing people in live performances, libraries, and loud and annoying ringtones are some of them.
I can’t understand why people need to shout while they’re talking on their cell phone. They disturb and annoy everyone. They also forget that they’re in public and not in their private space. They talk about their private things which everyone hears.
Cell phones also interrupt our conversation. Suddenly, the person who you are talking with answers a call and you wait for a long time until he/she ends his/her conversation on the cell phone. This is really frustrating.
You can still hear cell phones ringing in libraries, in live performances, in movie theaters, etc. There are people who can’t quit checking their calls and text messages in movie theatres. The light of the cell phone is really interruptive in the dark movie theatre.
Cell phones cause a lot of car accidents every year, but drivers insist on texting while driving. Texting by cell phone has also created a knew kind of language which is called text speaking. I think that text speaking is laziness and it can sometimes be rude.
As you can see, there are so many cell phone rules of etiquette which people don’t follow. I hope one day, we will learn where and how to use cell phones.

Hi Sinem:
I am really interested in reading your journal!
I have the same feeling with you about talking loudly in publc. Sometimes I feel so embrassed when some of my fridends or relatives talkling too loudly in some publc places if they are sitting next to me!
It seems that more and more people will choose pause their conversation if their phones ringring. Usually they just say"Sorry" and then answer it to pause the conversation! And the other party who were talking with him or her has to wait there and even doesn't know when they can contine the conversation. I think it is so rude for me.
The same situations are often happened in movie theaters and libraries, but most people don't care the others who are sitting close to them are watching something and enjoying the movie or studying.
I agree with your ideas about the right etiquette in publc so much, but, I still know that it is quite hard to make everyone follow the rules.
Thank you and have a good weekend!
I really laughed at your illustration! I think I have told everyine how I feel about rude people on cell phones, but i do often think I am in the minority. On my way home last week on the bus, I thik there were about 5 noisy conversations going on at the same time, but no one seemed at all aware that they were being rude and disruptive! Maybe I have to just accept it!...
