People and cell phones

**Corey Bit Spank** · 02-07-2005, 12:05 PM

So I`m in my school`s computer lab (in the library no less) and this girl sits next to me.

And then calls somebody.

And then talks really loudly to her boyfriend and gossiping. Apparently she doesn`t want him to be friends with this other girl that she doesn`t like and . Oh baby this is so juicy.

Are you allowed to use cell phones in your school? We weren`t allowed to have phones, pagers, anything.

My professors, at the beginning of each class, no require you to take them out and TURN THEM OFF. No vibrating, because that makes noise too.

Cellies are getting a little out of control.

Duh, college not high school...ignore me LOL

Yeah I went to GW, very affectionately known as "Cell Phone University" Everyone, everywhere constantly talked on their cell phones, leave class, talk on your cell phone. I did it too, but I had a business to run so it was legitimate (really...legitimate lol).

You do really overhear some interesting convos. I alwaysenjoyed getting in the elevator in the parking garage and watching everyone`s phones drop their calls.

Rude behavior in general is getting out of control

A cell-phone incident when I was teaching would`ve been a one-time thing

Some of these cards might come in handy. There is a link to a PDF in the center column.

Thats what it is, its rudeness not cell phones that are the problem. I make it a point never to talk on mine where its going to be disruptive, I walk all the way out of restaurants when I have to take a call, all the way out of movie theatres even before the show starts. People just don`t understand or don`t care that talking on a cell phone in close proximity to others in a quiet situation is rude.

There are a LOT of people at my school w/ cell phones. My ChE instructor will kick you out of class if your phone rings/vibrats/makes any noise. The 2nd time it happens he`ll kick you out of the class.

Other teachers don`t like them but don`t make too big of a deal about them. I`ve heard people`s phones start ringing during finals!

I ahd a professor in college that answered the phone and humiliated the person being called lol

Some ditz chatting on her cell phone released the pressure on the brake pedal of her car and rolled into one of our fire trucks.. no damage to the rig, but she caved in her grille and puctured the radiator.... and she told the cops it was our fault (we should have hit the siren to warn her she was rolling...but she was behind the truck! !

She did get a ticket for "following to closely".

Some of my High School teachers do that. Funny stuff!

**Corey Bit Spank** · 02-07-2005, 03:21 PM

lol. I got up and left.

She was getting into it.

Most of my professors have a no-cell phone policy. I had one that had no cell phone policy. If somebody called you, you just got up and walked out and talked on your phone outside of class. heh.

Americans wouldn`t know how to function if they could not have a phone glued to their ears 24/7. 90% or more of the conversations are not so important that they must take place on a cell phone while driving, eating, in a movie theater, or worst of all, school.

It is unfortunate that they have become such a status symbol instead of a convenience.
