Cell phone etiquette 101
More on cell phone etiquette basics, this time from Erica Hill for CNN. Of note, her report on an incident where a ringing phone in a movie theater actually led to violence, and a look at Yale University, extolling the virtues of students with cell phone manners:
Cell phone rudeness leads to violence
"Earlier this month, a Massachusetts man was charged with assault and battery with a dangerous weapon after he allegedly stabbed a fellow movie-goer in the foot. The other audience member reportedly asked the 27-year-old to turn off his ringing cell phone. The man has pleaded innocent to the charges".
At Yale University
The Yale Daily News recently published an article on proprer cell phone etiquette and "the new regulations of one of the school's residential colleges, Saybrook, prohibit the use of mobile phones in its library, and asks that students keep their phones on silent -- not vibrate. In the dining hall, students are asked to keep phones on silent or vibrate, and take any calls in a common room".
