Cell Phone Boors Who Make Asses Of Themselves In Public
One afternoon
of Thursday, January 4, 2001, I was leaving a small shoe store that was located
on the corner of Dey Street and
Broadway, across the street from the World Trade Center Mall in lower
Manhattan. There, I became a witness to
a public spectacle; a short and stocky woman was seen shouting obscenities on
her cellular phone on a crowded street during the
busy hour after twelve noon. I had to
wonder, why does she have to shout all of her business for everyone to hear on her
little phone? By all means keep your
personal matters to yourself, after all
no one wish to hear any of your boyfriend problems and gossip that has to turn into
obscenities in loud volumes that others can hear you just three blocks down! What I don't get, is why do these people
discuss things in public that should be discussed privately? Why does these
blabber mouths or... may I say foul-mouths shout all of their business on
the cell phone as if they were the only ones who mattered? This woman's voice was so loud and filthy, it's a wonder
that no police was called on her! There should be a law against shouting filth on
the cell phone in public, for it not only violates the rights of the people who
are forced to listen to foul-mouth conversations that they do not wish to hear at
all, it also makes sensible cell phone users look real bad. I for one, find it very annoying
and downright rude to be shouting on the cell phone in public. When I purchased my first cell phone, and
had little knowledge of how phones should be used, I knew first hand, not to use
it in public to shout all my business, making a public spectacle of myself. But if I was to use it in a public place, it
would be where there are very few people around, and I WOULD certainly speak on
the phone with my voice at a low volume where no one would hear what I'm
saying. Etiquette is supposed to be accompanied with the use of cell
phones, obviously there are just some buffoons who never uses it when it comes
to using cell phones.
