The Ignorance of People!

I am so frustrated with inconsiderate ignorant people!

My husband and I went to a great program this past motzei Shabbat. The rabbi was inspiring and right on the money. His wife the rebbetzin was funny, charming and really fun to listen to! If it just wasn't for the BEEP's that can't figure out how to put their phones on silent and or vibrate!

Cell phones have been in wide usage for at leas the last 10 years. By wide usage I mean that I have had a cell phone for at least the last 10 years so have most people in North America. There should be no surprises of how to put your phone from one mode into another.

It does however surprise everyone in the room, even after the announcement of "Please put your phones, pagers, beepers into vibrate or silent mode". Everyone looks around and get's really annoyed and yet...these people just don't get it. Not only did one particular lady didn't get it...she didn't get it twice!

TWICE in one speech that was less than one hour!

Here's a thought: if you are waiting for a phone call, put the phone on vibrate and keep it in your hands and stand by the back door! Don't sit close to the back door but not really and keep the phone in your purse...just so that you have to dig for it while the lecturere pretends to ignore you all the while you cut into their speech for a few seconds...HOW RUDE!
