Thread Name: BS: Overheard Conversations: Cell phones
Subject: RE: BS: Overheard Conversations: Cell phones
The only phone I have is my cell phone. I got tired of paying for the home phone and the cell and I use the cell more often, as I travel a lot by myself. That's actually why I got the cell in the first place. I was living in Vermont and coming home to Maine to visit lots of weekends. I turn my phone off at the movies, ignore it in the store (it's always in my pocketbook and barely audible) and never, ever answer it while I'm driving. I do have a head set for use when I'm driving but I've placed the call before starting my journey and even still I talk on the phone very rarely in the car. Cell phones serve a very useful purpose. I am also 100% in favor of banning the use of cell phones while driving as I have an incident at least once a day in my round trip commute (which is about 32 miles). I find that the people who are rude in their phone use are also rude in other aspects of life.
