Six Ways your Cell Phone Could Annoy People

By Dr. Kavita

Cell phones have become notorious as annoyance agents all over the world. The weirdest thing about these gadgets is that no one wants to find out how their own cell phone and the manner it is being used is irritating people.

Here are six ways your cell phone could annoy people:

Driving and using your cell phone

It is great to have excellent multi tasking skills, but do you really want to use those skills while you are driving and a moment’s diversion of attention could cost one or more lives? I cannot say how much I detest those people who behave in such an irresponsible manner and continue putting their lives and that of others too at risk.

Ignoring people in front of you

If you ask my opinion, I think that if a person cannot understand a simple etiquette of looking at people and focusing on what they say when in their company, then this person is a moron. How can you simply ignore people sitting / standing in front of you as they talk to you and continue to fiddle on your stupid cell phone? This sort of behavior announces about a person’s lack of civility and should be avoided at all costs.

Leaving the phone on ring mode

You may be besotted with your silly little ringtone, but not everyone around you thinks so. Just like people would like you to shut up in places where silence is expected of you, teach yourself to set the phone on silent alert or vibration mode and shut up in public places like the library, hospital or when attending social events, while watching movies in the theatre and even at your workplace.

Talking on your cell phone

I agree that your cell phone is supposed to be a gadget that helps you to make and receive calls. But I believe that the Almighty has blessed you with the basic common sense to judge if the situation is suitable for blabbering away on your phone.

I have seen people disregard all norms and blabber loudly in the theatres, in hospitals and even in banks and other places where no one wants to be bothered by someone talking in a loud voice.

Playing games

All of us have by now come across at least one such situation in our lives where we are left to feel like fools and are at a loss to decide whether to walk away or remain seated, while the person in front of you and supposed to be sharing meaningful conversation with you is busy playing a game on his / her cell phone. That is just dumb behavior!

Clicking pictures

Some people have an obnoxious habit of clicking photos almost incessantly. They are forever hooked to Instagram, Twitter and Facebook and think that the world would be extinct without their photos flooding the internet. Stop clicking, we are mad at you!
