Subject: Re: Annoyance of cell phone use in public spaces From: Tom Brennan <g_brennantg(at)TITAN.SFASU.EDU> Date: Mon, 6 Aug 2001 18:21:59 -0500I personally dislike those gadgets for reasons already stated but also because people who are using them tend not to watch where they're going. As a blind person, I pretty much have to go by "rules of traffic" when I'm walking and when a cell phone person is wandering around not attending to what he's doing this becomes difficult. Also, there is the factor of rudeness. If people are so needy to talk on the phone they ought not be in public so they can be ignoring everyone else. Its a bit like the way I feel about call waiting.
