When I find myself in a situation where someone is chatting on a cell phone I try to ignore their conversation as I do when people in line are having an in-person conversation. It's rude to evesdrop when avoidable. When I CAN"T avoid evesdropping because the people are talking too loudly is when I would ask them to be quieter or in some cases save their phone call till later. I will be considerate and not complain about conversations in-person or on the phone until the they start being too loud to be considerate to me as well. In fact I will probably tolerate the rudness far longer than some would. If I say something to you though then you can be sure you asked for it.
