Color me rude then.

I have important calls that are sometimes time sensitive.

I don't buy in to "unwritten rules"

I will assume nothing about needing to be quiet in a library if there are no signs that indicate that as a policy. I've been on buses with 50 people that weren't talking and that shit annoys me, I hate living in such an anti-social society that everyone has to avert their eyes 5 degrees and slightly downward and take care not to sit too close to another person due to being in such a PC society now.

Now, if she was just babbling and interrupting your concentration, it would have been much simpler to take the direct approach and ask her to get off the phone while she was still on it instead of making a public spectacle of it. It would at least given her the option to go out front to finish the call.

and to WK

did you seriously say to use the cell phone in the car?
thats illegal in some states (like WA for example)

anyways, if there isn't a posted rule or request to not use the cell phone (like there are at any movie theater) then goddamnit, I'm going to use the service I'M PAYING FOR every month if I get a call.

meh.

in the same breath though, I do take care to be polite to people in the area if they look like they can't be disturbed.
