Back before cell phones we had phone booths. Phone booths were designed so you could have a private conversation with someone and not let everyone around you know what you were saying. Now days people want everyone to know what they are up to and if the people around them don't quieten down they talk loader so they can be heard!
We had a youth minister setting behind us at Panda Express and this guy was trying to sell an employer on hiring a young man in his congregation. Before he left I was ready to hire this kid. I know more about him than his mom! If this kid new this youth minister was blaring out all the personal information about him in a restaurant he would have crawled under a rock!
I am sure all of you have been exposed to those type of conversations...

I hear those same loud conversations in lots of places even when the loudmouth isn't even talking on a cellphone!!
For some unknown reason folks talking on cell phones feel they must turn up their speaking voice about 3-4 levels instead of maintaining a low, quiet voice level. If they would simply speak as though they were speaking to someone sitting nearby it probably would not be quite as irritating. But they seem to forget the LOUD speaking volume is not required...A lot of people have NO TELEPHONE etiquette.
Oh yea, lots of times. And then there is the matter of texting. Did you see the U TUBE video of the woman texting while getting married? There she was under her veil with the minister reading the vows, her about to be husband feeling uncomfortable while looking at her and she holding the phone and texting. Why the minister didn't stop, I don't understand.
