I usually shut my phone off entering a restaurant, just as I do when
at a theatre. Nothing worse than being in a nice restaurant having a
conversation and some assholes phone rings, and rings, and rings.
I'd like to see someone take the offenders phone and drop it in their
soup (just once)
In the car I have a hands free that slides on my rear view mirror,
as the law ( no talking on handheld cell phone) is coming soon ( and
no one is ready). This allows me to keep my eyes peeled for fools on
their phones wandering in and out of my lane.
