Cel phones, pagers AND watches go off at the STUPIDEST time. Everyone nearby
is subject to an interuption they did not ask for or have any control over.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE learn how to behave with your techno-gear. You have the
ability to stay in touch where-ever, when-ever. REMEMBER! People are getting
in touch with you and only you. EVERY ONE ELSE IS BEING BOTHERED BY YOUR
BEEPING AND BOOPING!!!

At and around schools these beeps and boops  are used as attention-getters
(LOOK at ME!!!) This is wrong (but not unexpected)!

I work in an industry where having your noise-maker go off in a
meeting/special event is DEATH (or at least unemployment) It's hard enough
going thru school/work with all the distractions that exist let alone 24/7
2-way communications; it's no wonder schools ban pagers and phones. Learn to
be responsible with your toys

Whether it's your school or my meeting; THE PHONE CAN WAIT!!! Unless you art
an EMS or POTUS; THE CALL can WAIT!!! DEAL WITH IT!!

BTW, ask nicely, promise to vibrate forevermore, and you MIGHT get it back.
