As anyone who knows me will testify, I'm not a great lover of mobile phones, and the 24/7 contact-ability they provide. And it makes me a Luddite I'm sure, but I rather liked these 10 commandments of cell phone etiquette...
- Thou shalt not subject defenceless others to cell phone conversations.
- Thou shalt not set thy ringer to play La Cucaracha every time thy phone rings. Or any other annoying melody.
- Thou shalt turn thy cell phone off during public performances.
- Thou shalt not wear more than two wireless devices on thy belt.
- Thou shalt not dial while driving.
- Thou shalt not wear thy earpiece when thou art not on thy phone.
- Thou shalt not speak louder on thy cell phone than thou would on any other phone.
- Thou shalt not grow too attached to thy cell phone.
- Thou shalt not attempt to impress with thy cell phone.
- Thou shalt not slam thy cell phone down on a restaurant table just in case it rings.
