And this difference in perspective is why this converstion isn't going anywhere productive.
jwoody, good for you for standing up and saying something different... saw a couple of others in there that were along these lines.
Now when it comes down to it, I'm not annoyed by people that talk on their cell phones in public, even when I'm that cashier. What bothers me a little more is when you are in "no cell" zones in public places and they still don't pay attention. It's kind of like a "no smoking" sign. People don't notice, or if they do, they laugh and light up/dial anyway. Good photo op for those who observe the irony in action, but other than that, it's just the way the world works.
There is an attempt at reviving manners in today's society. It's not doing very well. Too many differences of opinion when it comes to what is acceptable and what is not. And I'm not about to say which is right or wrong.
