Cell Phone Manners Matter!

It is ridiculous how society had come to be, in the sense of manners. Rather than progressing it seems that we are regressing and forgetting what our mama's taught us. I was at church the other day, during the blessing of the wine and bread, a cellphone rang. You wouldn't believe what happened next, the cell phone owner started talking! During the most important part of the mass! I was altar-serving that day and Father had asked me to escort the individual out. It was inconsiderate, the fact that we had several signs in the foyer before mass that encourage the congregation to turn off their cell phones off and not only that, but mass is the time for us to be one with God and to listen to His teachings. Since the signs did not seem to be effective follow these rules instead:

Rule # 1 - Never use your cellphones in quiet and meditative areas. These areas are meant for meditation and peace, not for socializing.

Rule # 2 - When signs ask for cellphones to be turned off, please be prompted to do so. The signs are not just there for decoration, they serve a purpose.

Rule # 3 - Put your cellphone on vibrate, that way no one is boether and you get to receive your oh so important calls.

Rule # 4 - When talking on your cellphone use your indoor voices, cellphones are not meant to be megaphones, talking softly and quietly is enough for the receiver to hear you.

Rules # 5 - Refrain from texting or calling when it is inappropriate to do so.

If you fail to comply with these five simple rules, then there is no helping you. These rules are meant to help society to progress not regress in the sense of cellphone manners.
