It’s a bit irksome when you’re in a diner and someone from the next table suddenly bellows out in laughter; or worse; talks animatedly at the top of their lungs as if the person they’re talking to is on top of a mountain! You turn around only to find the person deep in conversation with another on his cellphone.

You start to see that all the other people from the nearby tables are likewise giving the person annoyed looks and whispering among themselves just how crass this person is. Unfortunately, this is not a rare occasion.

Several people have this habit of yammering on their cellular phones as if they’re the only ones in the room and not in a public place. Lest you become one of them, it’s best to have your cellphone ethics checked.

CELLPHONE ETHICS

When in a public place, we don’t go around chatting as if we were broadcasting the daily news that everyone should hear. This applies as well to cellphone talks. It’s a personal conversation that should remain private - just between you and the person on the other line.

If you’re in a restaurant, in a crowded room or somewhere that people are just a few feet away from you; you should move away from the crowd or excuse yourself from the table to take the call in private.

At the movies, public commutes, libraries and other places where silence is observed; it’s best to divert all calls to your voice mail and have your phone in vibrate mode. Naturally, if you’re on a date, taking phone calls on your cellular is a big no-no! You don’t want your date to think you’d rather talk to someone else when you’re with them.

CELLPHONE PRECAUTIONS

One of the most important things to also remember when talking about cellphone conduct is that behaving in a way that you aren’t so focused on your cellphone and your calls could ultimately save your life - especially if you are driving. There have been numerous accidents caused by a driver losing focus because they were animatedly talking to someone on their cellphones.

Whether you have your Bluetooth headset on or you are on hands-free mode, the fact is that your attention is divided between driving and chatting on your cellphone. You won’t only be endangering yourself, you will likewise be putting in danger other people on the street.
