Our Do Not Call register exempts local businesses and charities too. It's a hazy line though as most of the 'local' ones still seem to have New Delhi accents!
Saw this answer somewhere: "It's done, it's over but there is blood everywhere. I'm coming over for the other five grand."

Cells phones are my biggest pet peeve bar none.
Some people can't seem to do anything without their 'effing phone glued to their ear or they are texting up a storm when you are trying to talk to them.
What the hell is so important all the time ?!?!
The world is a nut house without fences and there are so many rude people in the world, rude and clueless. I have worked with people over the years, who quite honestly I am surprised they can even get dressed in the morning, let alone find their way back to work.
I have worked in the same office building, with many of the same people, for 23 years. 450 of us, all one company in one building. Anyway, rudeness abounds.
I can't ever have a conversation with my boss without her cell phone going off and she just ignores me and starts yaking away, and 99% of the time it is a personal call. Oy Vay!
OK I feel better.layful:

The man I work for can do it simultaneously....puts a conference call on mute and texts someone else on a completely different matter. I've been in the car with him driving while he's doing this (and so has his son.) His excuse is "this is the way I make my living." His obsession with it drives us all bonkers, but we love him in spite of it.
Cell phones & texting by anyone at a dinner table or in front of other people who are trying to converse with them MAKES ME WANT TO SCREAM AT THEIR RUDENESS!!!
Katy does your boss text while he is driving or are you driving?, if it's him driving & texting i would refuse to get in the car as he is putting all of you at risk of a serious accident even fatality
Sorry to say, Jill, he's driving. I know it's dangerous, but I'm not in a position to challenge it. I just clench my fists, grit my teeth, and hope for the best -- as does my lil guy's mom. There really is no way to get his attention on this. He's hardheaded as can be and tho endearing, he does as he pleases...as most wealthy guys do. I realize the consequences and ride with him as little as possible. If I refused to ride with him, he would be insulted and I would be out of work. Obviously, at my age, jobs aren't easy to come by. As for lil Jordan, how do you rectify this? His dad is not drinking, and since you can't reason with him on it, I am desperate for the cell phone/texting/driving laws to be enforced ASAP!
The saddest joke of all, he has made gentle reference to "as we age we have to be more careful"....so he asks ME to please pay close attention when I'm driving with Jordan in the car!!! Everyone who knows him shakes their head in amazement on that one.
I could write a book....he's one of the most amazing people I've ever known. Brilliant, hugely successful...President of the National Honor Society of a huge high school and not a damned lick of common sense!
