How to Talk on the Phone - Phonettiquette

We’re all guilty at some point or another. We break one of the golden rules of phone etiquette. Come on… admit it. You do it too! Here are Gordon’s top five ways to become an annoying mobile phone user. DON’T do these!

What? Hello, yeah, no, that's fine, I was just going to read the top five list on how to be an annoying mobile phone user. Yeah, I know, people. No, I mean, yes sir, people just don't know, right, right. Well, like for one, like when you are talking to a friend face to face and then the phone rings, you're suppose to abruptly stop talking to that person, and then answer the phone, and then talk as long as you like, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't matter if you are talking to your mom in person, or if it's a sales person trying to sell you something. Yeah, that was the first tip. No, I didn't do these, Gordon did. I don't know, some random guy in the chat room. Well, then another thing you can do to be a more annoying mobile phone user is, leave the ringer turned on, while at the movies, church etcetera. Right, because then when the phone call does come in, then you can like fumble around for it and everything, and then trying undo attention to yourself in the process. I know, I know totally, alright. Now the third one had to do with driving, suggesting that, if you use your mobile phone while you are driving, then you can weave in and out of traffic. You will stop abruptly tailgate,and then of course, when the other drivers look at you, you are suppose to look back with this whole, like, do it I am on the phone kind of look, as if it is their fault. Yeah, no, that's another good way of being annoying, and then another way is sending text messages to other people and treating them as if they were some kind of top secret military information, and if anybody saw him, that such that the entire nation be comprised, yeah. No, I know, totally, totally, right. Well, it's just bad behavior, even Ponzi gets mad at me sometimes. I don't mean to do it, like I am not bored with the conversation, it's just when she starts paying attention to something else, then I pull out my phone and either check the email or do something else, surf the Web ,send twitters, yeah. No, she has got mad at me a few times because of that. Well, I don't know, I mean there are probably other ways that you can be annoying with a mobile phone, but I just started making good video. I am glad that he has submitted the top five tips. chris@prillo.com, well you know, the live stream is happening anyway. Actually I was hoping to get emails from people, talking about other social graces that we often don't think about. Oh I know, Ponzi gets mad at me so frequently. I don't mean to do it. Well, I don't know, maybe they will send them in. We will be streaming the video live anyway, we are pretty much doing it, 24 hours a day. That's the thing, you know. Got the video going on in the chat room. I don't think they pay attention to me any more, alright. Alright, alright, see you later.
