I would like to reach out to more people, but I don’t really see how I can do it through this site though. Thank you for the inputs, maybe I am missing something. Kindly do lemme know :)

I agree, if the call is important, then the person has every reason to move, infact if the situation is made understood, I would be more than happy to help if needed. The only time it bugs me is when there is a misappropriation of time for the same.. A 1-2 min call when important is a serious yes.. However a text followed by a few more which goes beyond 5 mins is quite annoying indeed! :)

He he he he :D .. Well I guess women have that one advantage, not many would want to stare at me :D :P.

He he he.. I guess I am not alone then ;).. True I think it is very annoying to do that sometimes, esp when you are putting so much energy and effort into a conversation..

Thank you Seeta :). I somehow find the texting rude compared to the calls. Texting is such an easy escape sometimes..

It is unfortunate that the phones have become so common place. Even I do it when I have dinner at home, instead of conversing with parents, I am happily chatting over the phone which literally is not doing any good anywhere..

Thank you Shweta :). Amen to that! Priorities is something which I am usually quite picky about. It sorta makes me feel that it is nice when others do it too. Those simple etiquette which can make such a huge difference in our lives..

Thank you Alok, thought we would start writing about the simpler stuff as well, the untold laws if I may call them.

To a certain extent the exception applies to the situation you mentioned Alok, wouldn’t mind someone picking up the call for a quick 10-20s talk. However the texting is something I strongly oppose to. I myself have done it in a couple of meetings and I realized how bad it was and how poorly it reflected.

But true that, every rule has an exception :)

He/she can simply ask the person that can I call you later, and I don’t think it will have any impact :)

BTW nice post…. Liked your concept of this phone.

I find it rude even when people text or whats app on their phones while talking.. going out for dinner is as good as eating alone because most of the time everyone at the table is busy with their phones :(

It is time people realise priorities. But get a lot of flak for always keeping my phone on silent without notifications! Phone etiquette when with someone is quite important.
