I do not have a cell phone, but have nothing against them most of the time. It is annoying when someone is talking so loud. I am not interested in other people's conversations. They are good to have for any number of reasons, I just chose not to have one. I am sharing the following with you that I thought said it all. You never know what the person that is hearing your conversation may do.
After a very busy day, a lady settled down in her seat on a train and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice."Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I am on the train. Yes, I now it's the six thirty and not the four thirty but I had a long meeting ....no, honey, not with that floozie from the accounts offfice...with the boss.
No sweetheart, you are the only one in my life---yes, I am sure, cross my heart".
Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly, when the young woman sitting next to him, who was obviously angered by his continuous diatribe, yelled at the top of her voice.
"Hey, Eric, turn that stupid phone off and come back to bed!" Eric does not us his cell phone in public anymore.
A lesson learned the hard way.
