Life's Like That : Switch Off That Darn Phone

I hate it when handphone rings in a meeting, especially those with funny ringtones. Hate it even more if it that happens in a seminar or cinema. Irritating lot. This only show how disrespectful they are to people around them and even themself. The least they can do is to put it on silent mode. At least people are still able to reach them or send sms. Return call after the meet. As simple as that. Is that too difficult to do? Imagine trying to talk a person, half way conversation, you hear 50 cent singing in the meeting room. Conversation disrupted because he/she has to take the call. Hardly continued with 5 minutes discussion, Usher's ringtone playing! Darnit!

Question : How to brainwash people to follow this kind of simple phone ethic?

so true.. its really sad to know that many have no humility. i think at times we should play our part by 'awakening' them, not by being rude or telling them off but by simply explaining why it not appopriate for a person to have his hp buzzing at the cinema or seminar. make a difference!

i think the govt needs to enforce some kind of rule, like breaking one knuckle when the phone rings in the cinemas/meetings, 2 knuckles when talking loudly to the phone in meeting/cinemas, and break the neck when they don't care when they are told off not to do so...
