DING DING DING!!! There be the answer...
My company offers support for our customers 24/7 - I have to carry a cell phone, occassionally I've gotten calls at 3am when a database has gone south, but those are rare...
I hate talking on the phone, and unless it's a customer wiht a problem the call will rarely last more than a few minutes, so people tend ot not call me...
What kills me when I am out and about, is where people think it's OK to use a cell phone. I've been in airport restrooms and the person in the next stall is doing their business, including flushing and hand washing, all the while talking on the phone - -Was the call that important? Now if it were me on theother end of the phone, I would ahve hung up... I have heard people on the plane as we are waiting ... at 5:30 in the am, talking on the phone... about their sex lives.. . sorry, your sex life at this hour is not interesting to anyone...
If people could talk at reasonable volumes, where their conversations don't intrude on my space (because it is all about me, after all) then I don't care what they do, it's the people who talk so loudly and are completely oblivious to the looks they are getting, and where they are having conversations that cheeses me off and makes me wonder about where simple manners have gone.
