Places where you should limit

your cell phone use

 1. Restaurants
• Put on vibration mode.

• Only make outgoing calls if necessary and

keep them brief.

• If you really need to take a call, you

should excuse yourself from the table and
take a call in a private area.

• When people call you, let them know that

you are eating, and unless it’s an
emergency, tell them you’ll call back later.

• Keep your voice as low as possible.

 2. Movies, Theaters, and Plays
• Turn your phone off before you enter the
venue.

• Don’t answer it in the theater.

• Step out into the lobby and call the

person back.
 3. Work
• If you have a private office,
it’s probably fine to leave
your cell phone on.

• However, if you are a

cubicle dweller, do your
neighbor a favor and put it
on vibrate.

• Also during meetings keep

it on vibrate.
 4. Mosques, Churches, Synagogues, and
Other Places of Worship
• Turn your phone off or leave it in the car. You
and everyone around you should be able
to worship in peace.
 5. Flying
• Before your plane takes off,
turn your phone completely
off.

• Most airlines don’t allow cell

phone use because it may be a
safety issue.

• There is some concern that

electronic gadgets, including
cell phones, may interfere with
navigation equipment.
 6. Bus, Train, and Other Public
Transportation
• Turn your phone off or have it on vibrate.

• Limit your calls to emergencies.

• Once again, it is rude to chatter on a phone in

public.

• High chances of theft.

 7. In the Checkout Line

• If the phone rings and you

feel that you must answer
it, let the person know
you’ll call right back and
hang up.
 8. Don't answer your mobile phone into the
bathroom. Ever!
• This is just wrong.

• You never know who's in there; the person

on the other end of the line will hear
bathroom sounds, e.g., toilets flushing; it is
an invasion of your co-workers' privacy.

• Moreover, your toilet is disgusting. “We

flush the toilet and send bacteria into the
air.”

• So it is better to keep mouth closed and

avoid taking mobile out which can get
germs on it and then on your face and
hands!
