Cellphone Users Irritate Me Sometimes

i still can remember when i was still in college. i had lots of classmates who were so addicted into texting that they can't put their mobile phones off even during classes. mostly at the middle of lectures, mobile phones went ringing destructing everyone's attention inside that room. even if professors kept on reminding students to put off their mobile phone when inside their classes, they simply just don't follow.

Well, i DO use a cellphone, however, i never intend to disturb people, and so, when am asked to switch off the cellphone, i comply, that is, if it's a valid request. I mean, i wont just switch it off if some passer by asks me to switch it off, or if i am in a place where usage of cellphones is allowed, and does not disturb. However, i am considerate enough, and so, i comply if am asked kindly, rather then being commanded as some people do it!

the incident happened during your conference just shows how people are stubborn. the message is clear, yet people tend to be hard headed. there are always bad apples around where ever we are. it really pissed me off too, when someone's cellphone rings during church services. instead of being kind-hearted, i tend to become imprudent at them. that destroys my purpose already of going to church. people should know when and where to use their cellphones properly.

I do have a cellphone, but i'm responsible enough to know when and where to use it. I do had an experience like that but i was the one who's speaking infront. Before I start the lecture i asked them to please turn of or put your cellphone on a silent mode. When in the middle of my lecture I heard a cellphone rang(looks like it was in a loud mode). I was interrupted and I loose my focus on the subject that i'm explaining to them. It really pissed me off that i want to shout at the owner that "do you have any good manners?!" but just before i speak, one of the guards asked him to go outside of the conference room so we can continue the disscussions.

I experienced exactly the same thing during an important teachers reunion. He also answered the phone and we all heard the conversation because he didn't even went out of the room. I think that if was me that was in charge I would tell him to go out and not coming back! It's a disrespect for all other people. Another thing that angers me is to see all those people that are driving and talking to the cellphone without using a handsfree kit.

u have seen that. once it happened that i went in to a shop to buy some goods there i found the shop keeper was busy with his cell phone. and i received my goods just with a half n hr after his complete conversation.hahaha

The person you speak of was not just some person who forgot that their phone was on, but was one of those people that feels that common decency and courtesy does not apply to them.

I get annoyed when in a meeting or in church etc a cellphone rings and someone actually talks!! I usually keep it on silent as I occasionally get emergency calls from my hospital. If I get an urgent call, I go out and then answer. All other personal calls I cut off and call back when possible. I also get annoyed by loud ringtones at any place. I prefer a standard phone ring or some soft ringtone that doesnt hurt the ears.

Yes, I agree with you that sometimes other cellphone users will not comply the rules with regards to the usage of their cellphones during the seminars and sessions.Even at church,I could also hear those irritating and disturbing ring tones during the mass.

Nothing is more annoying than something like that. Or in a theater when a cell phone rings and they answer it and talk really loudly! I've made some not-so-nice comments to people who do those things.

It's definitely annoying when someone's cellphone rings during lectures and especially during meetings. I had that experince a lot. They didn't even apologize for causing the disturbance. Instead, they just answered the phone! I really wish at that time the chairman would warn them in order to embarass them. I always make sure I switch it off during meetings or in the cinema.

I know what you are feeling here. I don't like the cellphone ringing at quite place. It made sound more louder and noisy, no matter how good the ringtone was. And when someone did that to a place that required you to turn of your cellphone, that person surely don't have respect to others.

I really hate when that happens to me I rhink people are so crazy when It comes t that whole cellphone thing and ringtones and everything else and believe me it drives me craxy just like you.

cellphones are necessasry anytime.it is both right and wrong on part of the girl.imagine if it was an emergency case would you have bothered to complain about it.what if it was something serious???!!!.but taking into account the fact that the lecturer had requested the phones to be switched off. she atleast could have kept it in the vibration mode to avoid such a situation.certainly it would irritate you .but sometimes people tend to behave like fools so it would be better if you iugnore it.

i agree with you... it is very annoying when we are in the middle of a serious meeting or in a lecture hall then somebody's cellphone rings loudly... it's not only disturbs the others but also the presenter/lecturer's concentration and i think it is really really rude to do that... i always comply and switch off my mobile phones automatically without being requested to when i have to do it... especially when i am attending a church service... i really hate it when somebody's cellphone just rings in the middle of the sermon...

That is a really really rude move. I know that cellphones has been a necessity to our everyday living to get connected but I think there is still some limitations. Maybe she become deaf the time the instructor said it should be turn off or she is just always against the rules. Yeah I have experience something like that, it was when I'm taking an exam and everyone was instructed to turn there cellphone and put all the bags at the side of the table of the instructor. Then after an hour a cellphone rang and no one know s who's cell it is cause all of our stuff are in front of the room. so we don't know whose to give an eye.

Oh I've had many experiences with people leaving the ringer on when they aren't supposed to. Recently I was in the hospital and there are signs everywhere that states no cell phone usage in the hospital. People ignored it left and right and were using them in patients rooms and hallways. They could care less. I've also had it at Bingo. They specifically say before the one type of game (speedy) to turn off cell phones. The numbers are called out really fast and are easy to miss. You always have one though that won't turn it off and someone will call during that game. It's not only distracting but it could cause people to miss numbers and thus lose out on a bingo. I've even seen it happen in churchs. You'd think they'd have enough sense to turn them off before going in but they don't seem to. They usually ring right when the priest is giving his sermon too and some will even answer it. To me that's just plain out and out rude. There is no reason for such behavior. Have some respect and show some courtesy to others.

Yea its definitely disrespectful that she didn't turn her cell phone off or on silent. Usually I turn mine on vibrate or silent when its asked to be turned off. Because of the fact that I have a child and I wouldn't want to miss an emergency call from her teacher, babysitter, dad or who ever might be watching her.

Several times in my life i hv this type of experience wherein in the middle of a lecture, in the library or even in the hospital someone's cellphone started ringing. it so irritates me sometimes that i cant say. people just dont pay heed to the signs where its written that switch off ur cellphones before entering a particular area as for example in the library, during a conference and especially in the hospital.

I have experienced such predicament, and I agree that these kind of people really annoy others who know cellphonethics. Even mature, educated people fail to comply with simple requests such as switching off their cellular phones amidst formal conferences. Rude, rude. . very rude! It's embarrassing sometimes that even people we look up to violate these simple rules. Definitely such situation is most unwelcome. Why, even students comply with these simple requests. It's pathetic that grown-ups cannot comply.
