Cell Phone Courtesy Month was originated due to the rude behavior some folks exhibit while using their cell phones. Of course, none of us act rude on our cell phones but I’m sure each of you know exactly what I’m talking about.
On a personal level, one of the most aggravating things to me is when people talk on their cell phones in restaurants and when the ringer goes off in church. That’s just plain rude and this month is the time to consider how we use the cell phone and maybe you want to forward this article to your friends as a reminder.
Some people seem oblivious to all things around them when they talk on their cell phones. Sorta like cell phone zombies. I can usually tell when the person in front of me is driving while talking on a cell phone even if I can’t see them on the phone. Just something about the way they drive.
Here are some tips for using your cell phone in public:
1. When in meetings or places of business, take a moment to silence the ringer.
2. Keep your conversations at a low volume. Many people unknowingly raise their voices during a cell call and accidentally share very private information with those around them.
3. Whenever possible, excuse yourself from a room and step out to make and receive calls.
4. Learn how to turn on your phones ringer to vibrate. You don’t miss a call, and you don’t disturb others.
5. Don’t text and drive. Yes you’ve heard it a thousand times. Don’t be a statistic. Just pull over for a moment to send your text. Here at Spivey Insurance, we want you to arrive alive.
