First it was text messages, which I don't mind because then they were still listening to me, but when they picked up the phone when I'm in the middle of a sentence.<BR/>I always have my phone on the table, just because I don't like to carry a purse and then it's in my pocket and uncomfortable to sit on, but if it rings there's this handy little button where you can turn off the ringer, which I use a lot.WWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10197522956439691745noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30100921.post-38843183517155719842007-04-13T09:04:00.000-05:002007-04-13T09:04:00.000-05:00I remember one time I was having breakfast out wit...I remember one time I was having breakfast out with Female Offspring #1 and I decided to check my voice msgs while we waited for our food to arrive, she yanked the phone out of my hand and said, "Mom, that's RUDE!"

In any dining situation, I think it's always the polite thing to put the phone on silent and not answer it or just turn it off. In some situations though, it's not POLITE to answer the phone, but it's not necessarily rude either. Examples:<BR/><BR/>Date dinner: don't answer<BR/>Business dinner: don't answer<BR/>Dinner with good friends or relatives you haven't seen in awhie: don't answer<BR/>Casual dinner with parents: eh, I might answer<BR/>Informal dinner with a lot of people, not a business setting, just random conversation with various people: not that bad to answer<BR/><BR/>At any rate, I think it's okay to look at the phone to see who's calling.Carrie Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13273435332966491857noreply@blogger.com
