March 19, 2013 Commonality For The Cell Phone Inept People

I was sitting in church listening to Father speak the weekly words and cutting through the silence was someone's cell phone. Tucked away in a purse the woman scrambled to find it and turn it off. 3 or 4 rings it took for her to shut her incompetence up and long enough to have the congregation's heads turn in her direction. Staring, judging, and all thinking what they would like to do with that cell phone.

In settings, locations and scenarios where it is socially and logistically expected to shut your phones off I have no pity or forgiveness for people who do not. In this day it should be part of your routine, you enter a funeral, check your ringer. Movie theaters, public transportation, the office, church are locations where you use the vibrate mode of your phone. Some places you just let the text message or voice mail sit for an hour, you can do it. You used to, remember those days 3 or 4 years ago?

But I have discovered a pattern when it comes to cell phone ignorance, the level of technological intelligence of the owner and the ring tones. Unless you have a completely rude person who refuses to be polite, the forgetfulness is directly tied to the lack of technical aptitude of the owner. All the ring tones are the default, out of the box, ringers. The owner's may not shut off their phone's ring tones because they may not know how to. If they can't change the ring tone to something more suitable to their liking the are more than likely to not shut their phones off.

Next time you are a quiet place and a ringer goes off, listen to what the ring tone is and you will see for yourself. Don't worry, there are plenty of people that do this so you won't have to wait long.

End of Line.
