GENTLEMENS CELLPHONE ETIQUETTE A gentleman knows to use his cell phone... … if he is alone … if he is certain that his conversation will not disturb or annoy others … if he is a doctor, receiving a call from his answering service or from his office … if he is a father, expecting a report from his children or from their babysitter … if he is at a raucous event such as a football game, where his shouting will only add to the general uproar … if it is truly necessary for him to bring another person into the conversation at a business meeting, at that very moment … if he truly believes there is a chance that an emergency is in the offing. A gentleman does NOT use his cell phone... …when he is behind the wheel of a vehicle, of any type … in church or during a theatre performance, a movie, or at a concert … at a table in a restaurant of any type – be it fast-food or first-class … in the waiting room, or in the examining room, at a doctor’s office … when standing in line at the grocery store, the post office, a deli, or any other place where customers may find themselves trapped as helpless witnesses to his conversation … in an elevator, unless he is alone, or in the company of only friends or co-workers … in the workout room at his gym … on the “quiet car” of a train … in the cabin of an airplane, unless some actual, dire emergency demands it
