Lunch with a mobile phone<\/p>\n
Have you ever had lunch with a mobile phone? Let me explain.
\nMy son and I recently stopped at a coffee shop on Jl. Wijaya I on
\nour way home from school for something to eat. Seated a few
\ntables from us were four very well dressed young people. During
\nthe course of our snack, one lady received at least 10 phone
\ncalls.<\/p>\n
Whilst I appreciate what one does with their mobile phone is
\nentirely one's own business, I would ask that people have a
\nlittle more consideration for those around trying to enjoy their
\ntime, without being constantly disturbed by the ringing of a
\nphone. Surely a polite \"I am having lunch, can you call back
\nlater?\" or better still, simply disconnect the phone while you
\neat.<\/p>\n
Spare a thought for the friends you are supposedly lunching
\nwith. Surely they would enjoy your company much more than
\nlistening to incessant ringing followed by animated telephone
\nconversations. It is really impolite, is it not?<\/p>\n
Whilst I appreciate the convenience of such \"technology,\" it
\nneed not take over certain fundamental courtesies one can display
\nin a public place. We have smoking and non-smoking sections in
\nmost restaurants. Do we really need a mobile phone user section
\nand a non user section? Please let us eat in peace.<\/p>\n
