Mobile Answering

That's so funny! There is no way that I will answer mine in any of those. Thinking about it I wouldn't even have any kind of mobile or whatever with me while doing half those things.

Mobile Answering

1. In the middle of a meeting

Gosh, no. I would die of embarrassment, if my cell phone began to ring in the middle of a meeting.

2. While on a date

Yes I would answer my cell while on a date. But I would not do this too many times though, unless, my date is very lecherous or very boring.

3. While watching a movie in the cinema

No. I usually switch off my cell when I am in the cinema. It is extremely annoying to hear cell phones ringing, watching a movie at Movietowne. You would be surprise how abusive people become when they hear the sound of a cell phone ringing, in a cinema.

4. While in the toilet

No. I only did this once because I was expecting a call from my spouse. But I did sound irritated while talking to him. When he inquired what was wrong, I growled and said that I was on the throne!

5. While on the bus

Yes of course. I don't see anything wrong with this.

6. While driving

Honestly speaking, I don't drive. But if I did, the answer would be no. It is too risky. I don't think I could master the art of keeping my eyes on the road and focusing on speaking to someone on a cell phone.

7. While on a roller coaster

Ahhh no! I think the purpose of being on a roller coaster ride would be to enjoy yourself and to forget about everything else!

8. While being married at the altar

Good grief no! I remember attending a wedding and the groom actually answered his cell while the priest was starting the ceremony! The bride and the priest did not look very amused.

9. While making love

Gosh no. I will answer the cell only if I am looking for an excuse to get away from the person.

10. While in an interview for a job

As a general rule, I always switch off my cell phone before entering an interview. Most people are not aware of it, but it is very bad manners to be talking on your cell during an interview. The message that you are sending the interviewer, if you answer your cell during the interview is, "this call is more important than this interview!"
