| Businesses Keep Cell Phones Off While Promoting Cell Phone Etiquette |
|
|
| 1. Cell phones should only be used to place or receive a brief call in a public place, such as “Mom, I made it home O.K., or I'm running late. 2. If you need to have a longer conversation, either complete it before you enter a place of business, or go outside to complete your call. 3. Keep your voice level normal or even below the normal level, do not raise your voice. 4. Switch your phone to vibrate when you are in a public place. 5. Hang up when you are at a cash register,order counter, teller window, etc. 6. Utilize your voice mail feature. 7. Always respect a business' request, either visually, with a no cell phone sign, or verbally to turn your cell phone off. |

| Yappie™: One who speaks incessantly into the cell phone. |

| Quite often the time that a person spends in a doctor’s waiting room, a business lobby or a gym is the only down-time that person has for the day, and a loud cell phone conversation about essentially nothing can be quite bothersome. By no means are we saying that cell phones should never be used, cell phone use just needs to be reigned-in, and cell phone etiquette needs to be promoted. No Cell phone signs are helping businesses everywhere to reign-in inappropriate cell phone use. A quick call received in vibrate mode, while in a restaurant or a doctor’s office saying, "I’m running late", or, "Mom I made it home O.K., is quite different than a lengthy call about "he said, she did," quite often spoken in a person’s loudest voice. Cell phone etiquette signs being used virtually everywhere to gently remind patrons of proper cell phone etiquette when in a place of business. Almost everyone realizes that it is discourteous to continue a cell phone conversation in a place of business, but they rationalize their lack of cell phone etiquette by thinking or saying, "Everyone else does it" We must each take the step to curbing inappropriate cell phone use by reigning in our own cell phone behavior. |
