On behalf of cell phone offenders everywhere (and I most certainly am one since I use mine constantly when I'm not in the office), I'd like to apologize. We're a sorry lot and we just can't help ourselves sometimes.
I was once on the road waiting in a coffee shop down the street from my next meeting with a client. It was 10 am in the middle of suburban heck in Minneapolis (I think), and I had a very big, complex deal that I was working on with another client, and I called him while I had some downtime. Being a naturally loud guy, I typically get even louder on my phone since I can't really perceive how loud my voice is over the phone. As I was finishing up the call, a little old lady came over to my table, waited until I was done and said, "Sir, I have absolutely no idea what you were talking about, but I heard every word of it. Can you explain what all those terms and numbers meant?"
Needless to say, I try to be more concious of my voice level now.
