Geek Out: Do You Listen To Others' Cell Phone Conversations?
Today's geek out comes to you courtesy of an anecdote posted by SilverFang9899 in the Cell Phone Rant Group. It wasn't so much the cell phone story itself, about a woman screaming and crying on her cell phone — "It sounded as though her boyfriend were breaking up with her" — but a bit that SilverFang wrote about her own reaction.
She wrote: "It didn't really bother me, as I take perverse pleasure into listening to people's phone conversations, but if I were [her], I would have put my window up!"
Drama in a parking lot
Just a few months ago, I was sitting in a McDonald's parking lot eating and this woman the next car over was screaming, swearing and crying into her cell phone. It sounded as though her boyfriend were breaking up with her. It didn't really bother me, as I take perverse pleasure into listening to people's phone conversations, but if I were she, I would have put my window up!Cell Phone Rant: Is It OK to Talk in a Taxi?
OK, Cell Phone Rant group members, I've got a sticky subject on cell phone etiquette. It's pretty cut and dry where not to be on your cell phone, lest you're judged as rude or worse, icky — the drive-thru, ordering food, and yes, the bathroom — but are there places where you're receiving a service that it's OK?
I'm talking specifically about taxi cabs.
Cell Phone Rant: The Guy Making Your Food Is the Rude One?!
TeamSugar user Jyramiah added a great anecdote to the Cell Phone Rant Group: What would you do if the person on the cell phone being rude called you rude for trying to help her?
It started with her working at a sandwich shop when a customer entered and got in line while talking on her cell phone. When the counter person tried to take the her order, what do you think the customer did?
Cell Phone Rant: Drive-Thru Revenge
The Cell Phone Rant Group is there so you can vent about someone who infuriated you by being on his or her cell phone at an inappropriate time, because rarely do we have the wherewithal to go, "Hey! What you're doing is rude!"
Well today, TeamSugar user kaylamom2000 is my hero, because that's what she did.
Mom lost her kid because her text was more important
Ok i work at Target and I was bringing in some carts and while i was bringing them in I hear this mom arguing with her son, both obviously upset. Well the Kid, about 9-10 years old, tells his mom "i don't wanna go with you" and leaves his mom. The mom instinctively goes after her kid, and as she gets to the door of Target, she picks up her phone to answer her text, about 1 minute later she looks up and her kid is gone.Confession: I am a Cell Phone Rant Offender
Forgive me, geeksugar readers, for I have sinned. You see, I began the Cell Phone Rant Group as a means to call out the mobile phone rudeness of the world, and yesterday, I totally broke a commandment: Thou Shalt Not Talk on the Phone While at the Cashier.
When Cell Phone Rant Group contributor kiddylnd shared her cashier rant, I totally agreed.
I'm sorry, I'm in a meeting right now. Can I call you back?
I've been hosting new teacher orientation this week and getting to know a bunch of new faces. Inevitably, someone's phone will ring which will interrupt my train of thought. They'll fumble through a pocket or purse looking for it which distracts all of the other people in the meeting as well as me.my mother is always on the phone
I love my cell phone just like everyone else but when you are watching small children because (a) the parents are going out for a dinner date that they rarely ever get OR (b) giving the mom three hours to have her hair done or 30 minutes for a wax, then you really shouldn't be talking business while two small children under the age of 4 are running around. My mother is the queen of cell phone "talking anywhere and everywhere" abuse. Honestly, the thing is glued to her head and she is always on the phone with Verizon getting upgrades and new phones, etc.Paying at the cashier, answering the phone.
So I accept money for a municipal facility. We have lots of customers who are not always in the best of moods to be forking over money at that time and for the reason they are there. I hate it when someone is in the middle of a transaction and they answer the phone!Top Brands
