NO CELLPHONE ETIQUETTE THIS DAYSSS???



Can You Hear Me Now????  (Verizon quote)

"YES, For Pete sake..... WE CAN HEAR YOU NOW!!!!!!!!!" (My quote)



Have you overheard a halfalogue or overheard one-sided cellphone conversation on a public transportation?  "Hi" ....... "What's up?" ....... "I'm on the bus" ..... "we can talk" ....... "oh my God" ..... "you kidding????" ........... 

Halfaloguers seems to ignore the fact that when they talk to someone on a quiet bus, it destroys the ability of anyone else to read a book or even to sleep until the person finishes it's conversation.  Is it necessary to discuss about relationship issues or worse, yet, to talk about what was happened last night?  "Hi" ..... (giggle) .... "yes" .... "last night was ..."  As a result, my brain will try to fill in the blanks when I hear half of this conversation ....... LOL, yeah .... you will do the same, would'nt yaa? 

Last week, this woman was sitting behind me, for the whole 45 minutes I was forced to listen to her halfalogue conversation about the other woman they don't like.  Seriously woman ..... its annoying, I am sure half load of commuter gritting their teeth listened to her personal conversations. Why can't she offer to call the person back, or the least she could do was try to tone down her voice.   Or the other day, some dude was discussing about some kind of enterprise campaign ..... I meant .... discussed about work related on the bus????  I was like ..... "Dude, what's wrong with office desk ... and/or ... private line .... ???" Was he tried to impress people surround him about who he is or his accomplishments? Ten years ago, what was it like sitting on the bus with no noise irritating our ears???  It must be pretty quiet and comfy .....

What is today's etiquette in a human society?  Some 30 years ago, etiquette was part of my school curriculum.  I am sure nowadays, those are obsolete ...................


Just me, daily commuter :)
