Now I know there are some basic things we all know, right? I mean when we go through the check out lines, "GET OFF THE PHONE". I mean there are other people in line waiting to check out too. We know better....or do we? We know better or are we selfish? We've all heard, "I want my cake and it it too." Well, that's like saying I want what I want even if it's not possible. It is not possible to be rude with our cell phones and have friends and show our selves friendly at the same time.

We all know the situation: being subjected to someone else’s conversation while in a public space. Speaking on a cell phone makes some of us forget our manners! Celebrate Cell Phone Courtesy Month by following these tips for cell phone etiquette.
- When you are in a meeting, don’t check your phone constantly for texts and emails. Concentrate on the people you are with.
- Set your cell phone to silent or vibrate when in a courtroom, theatre, or place of worship.
- Don’t embarrass yourself; if you need to make a call which you know is going to get intense and emotional, save it for when you are somewhere private. The rest of the world doesn’t need to know about your relationship issues!
- Finally, check your personal volume control. It’s all too easy to start yelling into your cellphone. Everyone in your vicinity will appreciate your good manners in avoiding “cell yell”! Copyright © 2017 Days Of The Year LTD
