Mobile phones

An ever increasing number of mobile phone owners use their gadgets without any consideration for others in hotel lobbies, restaurants, bars, airport lounges, doctors' waiting rooms, shopping centers and other public places.

I therefore suggest that in public areas Call Boy Corners/Call Girl Corners be designated for mobile phone owners who wish to use their phones. In order to avoid the issue of sexism, I propose we call these areas Call Person Corners (CPC).
