Howdy Tampa,

You are SO right. The verses to this could go on and on and on and.... [Linked Image] I think I will add one about the cell phone users...from recent experience. Earlier this week, I participated in a funding workshop sponsored by our congressman. After lunch one day (which he provided..an indoor sit down formal affair) he got up and was addressing the group...when someone's cell phone actually went off as he was talking. The person then proceeded to sit there and talk on the phone WHILE the congressman was speaking!! [Linked Image]

When I teach workshops...the first order of business is to tell people where the restrooms are located..THEN to let them know that cell phones are to be either turned off or on vibrate for the duration!! If someone's phone rings, I say that their wife better be 9 months pregnant and due to deliver any minute...or they better be the obstetrician!! I also hate it when you are out dining with someone and they answer the phone at the table and proceed to carry on a lengthy conversation with someone else. The message is that the other person is more important than you are. I have actually gotten up and walked out. Cell phone users are some of the worst. Nuther verse coming! Thanks for the great suggestions.

Another thing that bugs me is dogs. You KNOW I LOVE animals...but when dog owners let their dogs bark incessantly it drives me NUTS. I have dear friends who raise miniature schnauzers..who are well known for barking at anything...and nothing. Those dogs, cute as they are, just plain make too much noise, especially living in the city where they disturb everyone for blocks!!

Hugs,
Bobbie
