Do you Practice Proper Mobile Phone Etiquette?

Here in the west nearly everyone now has a mobile phone. But we all need to remember that around 50% of the worlds population have never received or made a telephone call.

This really highlights the technological gulf that exists between the developed countries and the developing countries.

But many people think that mobile phones are actually more irritating than they are useful. Have you recently used any form of public transport?

I have to take the train to and from London every day and I find myself forced to listen to mobile conversations that I would far rather not hear. On my homeward journey I regularly listen to people calling their partners just to tell them: ‘I’m on the train’. And every evening I have to listen to the same people making the same calls with the same useless message. How did they manage before mobile phones?

I’m also often forced to listen to the conversations of teenagers who appear to speak a different language. Their conversations seem to be focused on their boring lives, the television programmes they’ve been watching or criticising their boyfriends. In one recent conversation a young lady loudly shared the details of a recent sexual experience with a detailed account of what took place. As she proceeded to describe exactly what had taken place everyone in the train compartment was cringing with embarassment.

Forcing other people to listen to one side of your telephone conversation is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is incredibly annoying. Another is people’s choice of annoyingly irritating ring tones and yet another is playing music loudly without consideration for others.

Everyone needs to be reminded of how lucky they are to own a mobile phone. Owning a mobile phone is not a god given right, it’s a privelige that should not be provided to people who use it to describe their sex lives, loudly.
