Week Eleven

The cell phone etiquette quiz said that I know proper phone etiquette but that I don't always use it. Sometimes I know that it is inappropriate to use my phone in certain places like the bathroom, or answering a text message at a restaurant. But the truth is that if I am with my friends or family at dinner, I know that they won't care if I answer a text message. If I go into the bathroom to answer my friend or mother's phone call, I know that the people in the bathroom nor my mother will care that the toilets are flushing in the background. Now, if I were at dinner with a new acquaintance or something like that, I would not answer a text. If I were answering the phone to my boss, I would not answer it with toilets flushing in the background. As far as cell phone use goes, I think that there is a time and place where it can be accepted and others where it can not. I mean, the point of cell phones is so that people can contact you away from home.
