Gilda, I have to agree with you on all points, and onesnowyowl on the service industry thing. When I was a cashier, I used to get so pissed off when someone would come up to pay for something while on their phone.
As far as driving is concerned, I have witnessed many near accidents due to phones, but just as many due to old people on the road, as analog mentioned. This is a problem that is related to driving itself, not just to cell phone usage. Too many people have licenses who shouldn't, and it's too easy for horrible drivers to renew them.
Basically, it all boils down to the idea that there are plenty of people out there who are all about number one and who gives a damn about others...manners really seem to have gone out the window.
