Cell phones

The other day I was in a conference with several of my colleagues. It was a pretty important conference. In the middle of the conference, one of the women’s cell phone started to ring. Much to my amazement she took the call without even leaving the room! I though pretty much everyone knew that cell phone etiquette mandates that in situations like this if you take the call, you leave the room. But no, she proceeded to have a very loud and heated discussion with whoever it was that was calling in front of everyone right there!

I was amazed that when she finished the call she just returned to the meeting as if nothing happened. Everyone was glaring at her, and it didn’t faze her at all! What nerve!
