Cell Phone Etiquette #1 - Bathrooms

To ALL cell phone users:

We live in an amazing time. We can watch live streaming video anywhere we are. We can text and email and calculate. We seem to gain an abundance of information from the world wide web.

Although we have all the technology in the world and we are beaming information into space and accessing data at the speed of light, we still need to remember the little things... like MANNERS AND ETIQUETTE!!!!!!!!!!!!

So here is Tracy Gillett's Rule of Etiquette Regarding Cell Phones - #1

When in a public bathroom DO NOT use your cell phone.
If it rings, DO NOT pick it up.
DO NOT call anyone with your cell phone.
DO NOT take any pictures or video IN the bathroom with your cell phone.
Matter of fact, there is little reason for you to bring your cell phone into the bathroom. It might slip out of your hands and fall into the toliet that you are using!
People may be waiting outside the stalls and you are taking extra time because you are having a conversation WHILE you are performing a bodily function AND we can hear every word, not to mention the person on the other end of the phone that can hear the toliets flushing while you are talking.
What is WRONG with you! Give yourself the 3 1/2 minutes it takes to go to the bathroom.
I stopped at a shell station in Bastrop and all 3 stalls were occupied. There was someone talking on the phone when I walked into the restroom and once she got off, someone else's phone rang...... and she answered it!!!

In order to train the general public that may not read my blog I am going to purchase one of those key chains that do the farting noises and anytime someone gets on a cell phone while I am in the bathroom, I am going to just start pushing buttons!!!!!!!!
