An I'll call you out for your lack of manners on top of it.
Keep posting..no need not to. This topic comes up every now an then, an good way to remind folks...to show their thanks if they liked a post, it helped them, etc. Or to remind folks there is a thanks button.
Sirscrapalot - If your phone call is so important, why are you standing in a line having this conversation? Use your phone, then stand in line. Simple.
I take a commute train almost everyday. It happens a lot where someone will sit somewhere close, and then call people and talk loudly on the phone. Some people are polite and when they receive a call will get up and walk to a part of the train car, in the door area, where you cannot hear them. I feel sometimes as if the person making the call, and then looking around while they are talking loudly about their business are really hoping that they impress people around them. So, being who I am and not being able to keep my mouth shut I politely interrupt them and then tell them that although they might really believe their phone call is important, that I don't want to know about the new software program they are designing for ipads, or whatever else it might be. I point to the door and then tell them that if they really need to talk to whoever it is on the phone, that they should do so where others cannot hear them.
It's a policy on the train, specially in the car they keep dark in the mornings for people on a longer commute, for others not to talk on their phones in the seating area. The conductors are really good about pointing this fact out to people who rudely talk loudly on their phone in the seating areas.
Had to say something, I completely agree with your post, 100%
