Re: Annoyance of cell phone use in public spaces

[Tom Brennan <g_brennantg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I personally dislike those gadgets for reasons already stated but also because
people who are using them tend not to watch where they're going.  As a blind
person, I pretty much have to go by "rules of traffic" when I'm walking and when
a cell phone person is wandering around not attending to what he's doing this
becomes difficult.  Also, there is the factor of rudeness.  If people are so
needy to talk on the phone they ought not be in public so they can be ignoring
everyone else.  Its a bit like the way I feel about call waiting.
