The other day we had a little family wedding shower for my niece (she
and her finance just hit the courthouse with their parents so we didn't
get a chance to do anything beforehand) The phone rang, her mom handed
it to her and she chatted while we were all waiting for her to finish
unwrapping a gift. sigh. Finally off the phone, opened said gift.
Phone rang again and a conversation of at least 5 minutes went on while
we sat waiting. She put the phone down next to me. I very quietly slid
it off the table, into my lap and removed the battery. :-) No more
interruptions. Battery went back after dessert. Yes, I can be an evil
aunt but sheesh.


Good for you, Marcella! I love the convenience of having a cell phone
(it's the *only* way to reach DH when he's between schools where he has
to observe student teachers), but I can't imagine why people can't turn
them off or at least silence them when in a meeting, movie, etc. It
drives me nuts!
