Rules of Engagement

I think I may set the record for absolute boredom. No one can be more bored than I. Even people in jail, I believe, are much more entertained. I am currently underwhelmed with where I am in life right now and this SO ISNT what I am supposed to be talking about.
Per a recent conversation with He who shall remain anonymous upon request J I have agreed to discuss a National Crisis.
Cell Phone Manners
My prediction is that the cell phone will soon become a part of the human anatomy. Any Darwinians’?? Evolutionist ??? Well Since we humans are so attached to the cell phone it’s possible with “evolution” it may become functioning part of our bodies. Until then, HAVE SOME MANNERS AND PUT THE PHONE DOWN SOME TIMES.
(It’s inevitable that I will be hypocritical while writing this). Anonymous expressed to me his distaste for citizens of the cell phone nation , to talk on the phone while checking out ,ordering food and other acts of face to face communication that are hindered or often neglected due to incessant cell phone usage. This was HILARIOUS to me at first. But then Anonymous went on to make a really good point. It is absolutely disrespectful. To remain on the phone , participating in (mostly frivolous) conversation while a person is trying to assist/communicate with you. It sends a message of disregard to his or hers presence , and says that what you are currently involved in is far more important than the person who is before you .
I am SO guilty of this ! I always talk while I am shopping , But I do acknowledge people. Sometimes , very few, but there are times that I will even end the call to complete my purchase. I Think that I can count those times on one hand though . As a matter of fact , briefly after Anonymous and I discussed the cell phone manners, I went to the store, while still on the phone and checked out ,…..still on the phone J …and with that blatant display of hypocrisy , I have want to shift to another subject .
The Rapid Depreciation of Verbal communication skills.
The TXT message (another hypocritical rant).actually I will save that
