What Can Happen When Cell Phone Etiquette Runs Amuck

I spend a great deal of time informing you of proper etiquette rules.   Occasionally, I point out why these rules are necessary.  Rarely, do I hypothesize about what could happen if etiquette is not followed.

Today I would like to share I joke I recently heard with you.  Even though the intention of this joke is to make people laugh, it’s not far from the truth.  Perhaps it has actually happened to you.

Enjoy, learn, and  please help keep our etiquette standards from going down the toilet by turning cell phones off in public restrooms.

I was in in the public restroom – I was barely sitting down when I heard a voice in the other stall: “Hi, how are you?”……..Me: embarrassed, “Doin’ fine!”Stall: “So what are you up to?”…….Me: “Uhhh, I’m like you, just sitting here.”Stall: “Can I come over?” ……… Me: (attitude) “No, I’m a little busy right now!!”Stall: “Listen, I’ll have to call you back. There’s an idiot in the other stall who keeps answering all my questions!
