Cell phones have no place in any environment where an extended conversation wouldn't be allowed. Normal people would not have a long conversation in a library, Dr's office, or class. Public transportation is questionable. If you get a call answer it and tell the person you'll call them back. Or at the very least keep the conversation QUIET. Most cell phones pick up sound very well an no one should have to talk at the volume that so many think they have to. I must admit I'm guilty of talking too loud at times but I tend to talk too loud in person sometimes too. It's a habit I've had since I was a kid and have tried to break for just as long.

At the very least, if someone is hearing your conversation (other than a family member at home) then it's probably not a good idea for talk on the phone for very long.

I went to a gas station the other day and some person had a blue tooth on their ear and was talking away when they walked up to the cash register. The cashier though they were talking to her and said "excuse me" and they replied "Oh I'm not talking to you." and rolled his eyes at her. After he left and I stepped up she huffed "I hate it when people do that and you think they're talking to YOU." I agreed with her and let her vent. He was rude to her to answer her that way.

Get off the phone when you are around other people (not just walking by) or interacting with them.
