What <a href="http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9147558/Here\_comes\_the\_new\_cell\_phone\_etiquette">rules of engagement</a> are absolutely necessary and what social penalties should become standard practice for repeat offenders?  <i>"It's easy to be rude with a cell phone.

<tokenext>FFS .
I suppose that some people would need to have rules explained to them .
I think it 's just a reflection of the lack of common sense.Here are a few of my favorites : 3 .
Avoid taking calls when you 're already engaged in a face-to-face conversation.Am I the only one that thinks that saying " excuse me , I have to take this " is rude , even though " excuse me " was said ? 4 .
If you do take a call , ask permission of the people with you.I suppose under very limited circumstances ( example : Your mom is really sick and your dad is calling ) .5 .
Avoid texting during a face-to-face conversations.Again , really ?
Before texting existed , did we just start doing other things while people were talking to us ? 6 .
Put your phone 's ringer on " silent " in theaters and restaurants.Common sense .
Everyone gets a free pass for forgetting once in a while , I guess , but it should just be a habit by now.8 .
Hang up and drive.When exactly was driving not the top priority when... driving ? This article is garbage .
Anyone who needs to have " cell phone etiquette " explained to them is someone who is not going to ever practice said etiquette .</tokentext>

	<htmltext>"Do not use your cell phone while driving"<br> <br>

Cell phones cause car accidents all the time.  Even if you think you're skillful enough to operate a cell phone and drive, doing so can be a role model for someone else who can't do the feat.  My friend was even in a bad car accident last week where he says the other driver was on a cell phone.  He had some broken ribs, a collar bone, and was pulled out by jaws of life.<br> <br>

If you get a ring, down answer it.  Then find a pull off and call the person back.</htmltext>

	<htmltext><p><div class="quote"><p>A phone should sound like a phone, not a disco.</p></div><p>
Thanks for your opinion. Luckily I don't have to agree. Frankly I don't think there is a problem with using music as a ringtone. In fact, I rather enjoy folk who do that because, when their phone goes off, I get some insight into their taste of music and maybe their personality. If I am on a first date with a girl, and she is acting very nervous and/or respectable, and her phone goes off playing the 'Banana Phone' song, it tells me that, despite her first date nerves, she really does have a sense of humor and is proud enough about it to be silly in public.
<br> <br>
I don't think having musical ringtones are a problem, I think the fact that everyone keeps their ring volume up to 11 is a problem. I think that people are oh so worried about missing that next call or message that they walk around with a vibrating loudspeaker in their trousers. I cannot claim to be absent of this mindset myself as I proudly keep my phone on high volume because I think it is funny as hell when the voices of Charlie the Unicorn and his friends announce themselves to the world. Of course, I make a point to turn my phone down or off in professional and/pr quiet settings. That, to me, is respectful ettiquette.
<br> <br>
However, claiming that having music as a ringtone is inherently bad or annoying is just silly. If a person likes a particular guitar riff, a particular note sequence on the piano, a particular singer's voice, then why not let them brighten their day a bit every time their phone rings with something that pleases them? If they keep the volume low, it shouldn't be a problem for you or anyone else.
<br> <br>
As for saying that a phone should sound like a phone, well I can tell you that the shrill rings of the various phones my parents have owned would jolt me out of bed like someone threw water in my face. It was unpleasant, painful, and downright hell when you had a hangover or a migraine. If that's what phones are supposed to sound like, I say, with all due respect, sir, "Fuck that."
<br> <br>
Cheers.</p></div>

	<htmltext>While it probably doesn't interest anyone I'll still write it down here:

Answers and opinions about listed "rules":
1. Agreed, some people just freaking shout in the phone when it'd be perfectly fine to speak less loudly.

2. This one I disagree with. If you don't like the topic at hand then don't listen to it (though if the person isn't following rule #1 then it's harder. But then again, it's more that the loudness is wrong, not the topic). It really depends on the person what topics are considered too personal and what aren't, you can't please everyone. Just avoid talking about sex, drugs, alcohol or making racistic comments when there's children around.

3. Why? I always answer the phone to check what it is. If it's nothing important then I just say I'll call back later, and if it is indeed something urgent then good thing I answered the call! Heck, I think people who get offended by you answer a phone call quickly are just offended way too easily. I'd rather say that when you answer the call do keep the length of the conversation to bare minimum and call back later if it's nothing urgent.

4. See above.

9. Now, this is an odd one. I haven't expressed such myself. Maybe it's a US carrier issue? Anyways, in real life it happens sometimes that both of you start talking at the same time and then stop at the same time. I usually just solve it by saying that the other person can continue, I'll continue after him/her.

11. If you feel bad about such, get offended or something then you're just too easily offended IMHO. Just ignore it and continue the conversation, geesh. Besides, it'd be better to say "The call was dropped", instead of placing blame on either party's phone.</htmltext>

	<htmltext>My wife spends several hours a day "yelling" into a cell phone in a language I don't understand. The first annoying thing is, she will try to carry on a conversation with me while she is still on the phone with someone else! The second annoying thing requires some explanation: I enrolled my daughter in hula lessons. I taught my daughter she should respect the teacher. On one of the rare occasions when I couldn't take her myself, my wife took her and spent the entire lesson in the dance room talking loudly on her cellphone while the teacher was trying to teach. Apparently it never occurred to her that she could go out in the hall to use her phone! What's worse... they never said anything to her about it. The teacher waited until the next lesson, and then bitched at me about my wife's behavior! News for the world: I have no control over my wife's behavior. In fact, if I tell her to do something, she is much more likely to do the exact opposite, just to prove she doesn't have to do what I say! Last annoying thing: when I need to use a cell, I tend to lock myself in a bathroom, rather than try to compete with the ambient noise. What people don't seem to understand is that past a certain point, speaking louder and closer to the microphone actually makes the conversation LESS intelligible; it overdrives the amplifiers into distortion. And of course, most people's reaction to be told "I can't hear you clearly" is to TALK LOUDER!</htmltext>

	<htmltext>Back in the winter of 1999 the Irish GSM network Eircell first allowed prepaid users to send SMS - they were free to send and receive and very few people especially my age didn't have phones at the time. Most people switched their phones off at night to save battery or whatever so as long as you weren't deliberately trying to piss someone off you could text who you liked, when you liked. It was mostly just a bit of fun, a new and unusual method to communicate with fellow GSM handset owners.<br> <br>

<br> <br>

But its no longer the case, texting has become a more widespread method of communication and therefore more formal. Especially since about 2006/7 when everybody started moving to Facebook with private profile, switched off Bluetooth and basically refused to talk to randomers anymore due to their paranoia. <br> <br>

Now if I meet a girl there is a perfect interval I have to wait<br>
1. Before sending the first text<br>
2. Before replying to a text<br>
3. Before sending a second text after no reply (much longer)<br>
4. Random 'padding' time in addition to these. A constant delay = freaky/stalker-ish<br> <br>

There is also the number of texts I can send without reply before I have to assume she wants absolutely nothing to do with me anymore ever or risk being publicly denounced as a stalker/rapist type person. (usually only 2 or 3)<br> <br>

Before I could send someone a text and they would get it when they are available and have their phone switched on. Now if I wake up at 4am and think of something I have to tell them I have to use a PyS60 script to schedule the text to be sent at a sociable time. Otherwise the person will go around saying <i>"omg, he sent me a text at 4am!!! the crazy stalker, he is awake and thinking about me at 4am! how obsessive! lets call cops now pls kthbai!"</i> <br> <br>

Voice calls are not immune either - I cant call someone out of the blue for a chat, before I could but now they assume there is something wrong with me if I do that. In the early 00's I could call people and talk about an hour and they'd think nothing of it. Now its common to text before call<br> <br>

When you send a text there is also risk that someone wishing to stir up some drama can isolate that particular text from the rest of the conversation and try to pass you off as a bad person.</htmltext>

It was mostly just a bit of fun, a new and unusual method to communicate with fellow GSM handset owners.
But its no longer the case, texting has become a more widespread method of communication and therefore more formal.
Especially since about 2006/7 when everybody started moving to Facebook with private profile, switched off Bluetooth and basically refused to talk to randomers anymore due to their paranoia.
Now if I meet a girl there is a perfect interval I have to wait
1.
Before sending the first text
2.
Before replying to a text
3.
Before sending a second text after no reply (much longer)
4.
Random 'padding' time in addition to these.
A constant delay = freaky/stalker-ish 

There is also the number of texts I can send without reply before I have to assume she wants absolutely nothing to do with me anymore ever or risk being publicly denounced as a stalker/rapist type person.
(usually only 2 or 3) 

Before I could send someone a text and they would get it when they are available and have their phone switched on.
Now if I wake up at 4am and think of something I have to tell them I have to use a PyS60 script to schedule the text to be sent at a sociable time.
Otherwise the person will go around saying "omg, he sent me a text at 4am!!!
the crazy stalker, he is awake and thinking about me at 4am!
how obsessive!
lets call cops now pls kthbai!
"  

Voice calls are not immune either - I cant call someone out of the blue for a chat, before I could but now they assume there is something wrong with me if I do that.
In the early 00's I could call people and talk about an hour and they'd think nothing of it.
Now its common to text before call 

When you send a text there is also risk that someone wishing to stir up some drama can isolate that particular text from the rest of the conversation and try to pass you off as a bad person.</sentencetext>

<sentencetext>My plan is to let all the old people who are so worried about etiquette being the same as it was in 1949 die off.

That is why most people are annoyed by the people talking loudly into their cell phones. It is already not socially acceptable to have excessively loud conversations in public.

My tone of voice is indistinguishable from other conversations happening in the area, and in fact is usually quieter.Try it sometime as an experiment if you are used to speaking up on the phone, you'll find you can be heard just as well.
I have a friend who literally doubles her volume on the phone.
It's quite amusing and I have to remind her that she's doing it.Also, if you have any kind of music as your ringtone (except for the harp sound on the iPhone) you should be shot.
A phone should sound like a phone, not a disco.</sentencetext>

Its generally more efficient (no miscommunication), easier to be safer (when you text you still have the message hours down the line and can respond instantly), and in all honesty a lot less rude to the other person. With a phone call, you expect the other person to drop everything and devote at least 75\% of their attention to you, with texting it requires a lot less attention.</htmltext>
