A request to all cell phone users (my rant for the day)

Please when you are sitting outside of your RV talking on your cell phone to Aunt Minnie, Uncle Jed or anyone else keep the tone down to as if the person was next to you.
The lady in the site across from us could have been heard a block away today as she shouted for about an hour, and it seems more and ,more people feel they must shout on them.
I could bring you completely up to date on what that ladys entire conversation was about.
Last week a guy next to us was giving out his credit number card to someone, and I could have written it down if I wanted to.

  • Are you at an RV park where your neighbor is close by? Most campgrounds that we frequent we're a bit away from our neighbor.
  • :) I was once "entertained" be a man at an airport while he was talking about his business on his cell phone. By the sounds of the conversation, his business was not doing well. When he was thru, I asked him what the name of his business was. He told me. I then asked him if his business was listed on the stock exchange. He said yes and I thanked him. He gave me a funny look and asked why I wanted to know. I said that because of his conversation he shared with us, I want to make sure I didn't have stock in his company..... LOL the look on his face was priceless. I believe in teaching experiences. I've also been known to respond when they talk too loud too close to me...LOL...like "oh, really?"....... that usually quietens them down.

    x2 You can't fix stupid or rude.
  • No different than someone with an outside entertainment system blasting their tv, screaming kids, cackling around the campfire, or any other of the "noise pollution" issues that occur during communal living situations. EVERYONE needs to be cognizant of their noise levels, not just one group.
  • Maybe it was a LONG distance call.

    Seriously, I agree with you...happens all the time, everywhere. Two nights ago in the booth next to us at Olive Garden.
