Apparently there has recently been an incident in a supermarket in the UK, part of a big chain, when the cashier refused to serve a customer until that customer finished a call on their mobile phone. For some reason the incident received huge publicity, and even the deputy prime minister got involved and voiced his opinion.

Anyway, here is an amusing article, well worth reading, about the modern-day habits of mobile phone users and how it has become the most normal thing in the world to be talking on your cell phone while conducting affairs with other people at the same time. Thanks to Nick for finding the article: he is too shy to post it himself.

Thanks to Nick for finding this.

I am one of the few people I know who does not, and has never had a cell phone. One of my mantras at the wheel of the car is, "Hang up and Drive!" I frequently mutter this when stuck behind a chatter or texter at some traffic light which turns green for three seconds every ten minutes.

Of course, I should feel privileged to be let in on the soap opera intricacies of some VIP's life while I ride the bus. Unfortunately, I am a total ingrate. I really don't want to know how many polyps were found in your gut unless I get to join the conversation. It is a good thing that I don't go to movie theaters. That could get ugly very quickly.

If I had been behind the talker at the grocery check out, the cavalry would have come to the checker's aid. People find enough ways to hold up the line as it is. Digging deep for change after the total is presented, or arguing about a rejected coupon are bad enough. Talking on the phone has no remote excuse. Being snotty about it besides would make you total fair game for anyone stuck behind you.

There was, and might still be, a popular deli in downtown Chicago, very close to the main AT&T offices. Obviously, this was an area rife with early adopters of wireless technology. The owner posted prominent signs at the door ordering customers to turn off their phones. If his instructions were ignored, and a phone sounded, he would get on the loudspeaker and publicly excoriate the culprit. By reports, this usually got him a round of applause. I imagine times have changed since I first heard the story.

Sounds like a "Vitamin H deficiency" to me.
