Have you ever been somewhere quiet and your phone went off really loud? Or have you been in class, a meeting, anywhere you're not really supposed to have your phone or use it, and it goes off and you get in trouble? What did you do?

Yes i had that experience,so it was our time to work at the office and our supervisor was just behind me and suddenly my phone just rang where it cellphone at the office in not allowed. So what I did was I cough so loud to cover the ringtone of my phone and said excuse me and ran to the comfort room. And when I came back my supervisor just ask If I was ok, well I just said "Im fine, Im not feeling so well today sir...". The next day I turn off my phone just before I came in to the office to avoid that from happenning again.

Yes, I have done that, when I was on attending a meeting for staffs where I worked and the manager was discussing issues and things to be done. And everybody was listening to her so it was in the middle of silence when my phone rings, somebody just phoned and I had to check the phone and switched it off straight away. The manager looked at me and said, please everybody turned off your mobile phones, have you read the sign? But I just forgot to turn it off when I came in because I was in a hurry, and afraid to be late. I apologised and said sorry sincerely, and from that time I have to put my phone to silence mode and made it vibrate when there a call or text, so I won't be in trouble again.

I usually keep my phone turned off, and will turn it on when I need to make a call. One Sunday in church as the Pastor was giving the sermon, I heard the sound of a cell phone. I looked around thinking to myself, gee someone did not turn their phone off. Lo and behold it was my phone. I am glad the Pastor did not hear it. I did not turn it off because it plays a little music when turned on and off. I stuffed it in the bottom of my purse with a lot of tissues to try to muffle the sound if it rang again. Now, I always make sure that the phone is off.
