Get Off Your Phone!

 

 Do you want to know one of the things that irritates me more than anything? Rude people who continue their phone conversations while they are in a check out line. I don't care if it's the most low class store ever or not, it's rude. I see it all of the time. Actually, I used to experience this far too much when I worked at Target when seven years ago. I would have people come through my line and have the nerve to tell ME to "hang on". I would seriously think "oh, I'm sorry...I thought I was the one assisting you, can't you make the phone call at another time"? I obviously never said any of that out loud but I sure wanted to.

I see it happen on a daily basis; even at the gas station. Are we that obsessed with our phones that we can't even put a call on hold for a few seconds to do a transaction with the cashier? As much as I love my cell phone, I do not text or talk on it while I am in line or when it's my turn to check out. Maybe it's just from working at a place that I would have people do this to me all the time that made me get so angry about it. Another place I see it at is subway. Okay, you are ordering a sandwich and they are kindly asking you what you would like on it but you put your finger out and say "hang on a second"...umm, what? I don't think that's very considerate.

Really, I just want to yell at the people I see doing this. Unless it's an emergency, get off your phone! Does this bother you or do you see it and just think nothing of it?
