THIS:
It would be lovely to have this sign in front of every restaurant
(And for that matter, bookstores, craft shops, antique stores....)
I don't know if you have to be a member of twitter to view that photo or not. In case you do, and you aren't, it says:
CELL PHONE:
Please be considerate of others
And turn yours
OFF
(I was once at a restaurant with my parents - the last evening of a visit of mine there - and we wound up near a man who made the air above him blue with awful words delivered to the travel agent on the other end of the phone, who apparently made some kind of mistake or could not get the man the flight he wanted. Finally our waiter went over to the man and told him to either hang up, quiet down and quit using the expletives, or LEAVE. I think my dad doubled the waiter's tip after that happened.
It made me sad to hear him abusing the travel agent in that way. Even someone who's incompetent doesn't deserve the kind of vitriol the man directed at her. (And one of the uglier words he used suggested to me it was most likely a "her." But enough said about that.)
