Ever encountered a person who completely lacks phone etiquette?
1. Inclusion in conversations unwillingly
I have just about had it with people who include me in their phone conversations without asking.I don't need to hear gossip about people I have never, and probably will never meet. So what her weave is a hot mess? I don't need to know all that. Whisper, or excuse yourself, and go talk outside.
In the checkout lane at the grocery store, this lady just had to find out what some character called Misty wore to the club the night before.She then had the audacity to gesture to the cashier to wait until she finished her conversation! Meanwhile the rest of us in line had to grit our teeth, and wait patiently.
2. Shouting on the phone
I mean really, it's so unnecessary. If the person can hear you clearly while speaking face to face in a normal voice, they should be able to hear you speak at the same or lower volume over the phone. Phones or hands free devices are pressed to the ear hint hint.
3. Ringtones
I love ring tones just as much as the next person, but does the volume have to be turned all the way up? If people can hear your latest hit song ringtone from miles away, then yes it is probably just a tad too loud.
4. Driving while talking or texting.
Now this one gets to me the most. Unless having that conversation on a freeway where speeds are 60-70 mph would result in a life being saved, or global warming being stopped in it's tracks, or one of America's most wanted criminals being captured, I think the conversation can wait.
5.Phone stalkers
If you call me and for some reason I'm unable to answer my phone, leave a message and I'll return your call as soon as possible. It gets to me when people call, leave a message, then keep calling every five minutes leaving messages like " Hellooooo pick up the phone" . Some people leave a message like "Call me back it's extremely urgent" but when you call them back in a panic hoping to God that the emergency is not life threatening, it turns out to be nonsense. They'll be like "oh it's nothing, I just really wanted to ask what you think of the 100 degree weather. Really!
