You're a nice guy, right? Ever had a cell phone go off in an inappropriate situation, like in the middle of a movie theatre or some such? Ever had the phone ring while you were driving and needed to answer it? You've just become a rude and/or inconsiderate person, and it was the device that caused it.
That's right. Folks who would hold the door for you are made rude by a little bit of technology.
Had a phone ring in a resteraunt or theatre? Nope. With a single button-push my phone enters a completely silent mode; it's in this mode most of the time. When I'm at a particularly sensative event, I remove the battery completely and stick it in another pocket, just in case. I talk while driving all the time without any degredation of performance, this does not make me rude. I propose we also ban walking and chewing gum at the same time, as some people have issues there as well.
