Carl: I’m sorry, say that again. I couldn’t hear you over that guy at the next table shoutinginto his cell phone.
Stephanie: That guy is so rude . We’re trying to have a leisurely conversation over a cup of coffee, and we have to out shout some inconsiderate jerk.
Carl: Do you think he realizes what a nuisance he is?
Stephanie: I bet he doesn’t. People don’t seem to have any idea of cell phone etiquette . Cellphones should be banned from restaurants, don’t you think?
Carl: I completely agree. I don’t need to know the intimate details of other people’s lives. I sometimes wish I had a cell phone jammer . Like the other day, I was at the movie theater, and the woman sitting in front of me answers her cell phone and has a conversation during the movie!
Stephanie: I would have kicked up a fuss or at least shushed her.
Carl: I tried to shush her, but she pretended not to hear me. I wish...[Carl’s cell phone rings]... hold on one second . Hello, oh hi, Manny...
Stephanie: [Stephanie’s cell phone rings] Hello, yes, this is Stephanie. Oh hi, Leah. Oh sure. I can talk.
