Personally, I am on call 24-7-365.
If I miss a call, I could miss-out on making between $1600 - $9000
If that bothers someone, I really don't care.
(although I do go to vibrate in a theatre or something similar)

That could be...could also be that they're waiting for an important job interview call, and they want to make SURE they hear it. |

If my phone rings in a public place i answer it as fast as i can or mute the sounds. Normally, i have my phone on vibrate. Its funny how people will just sit there and stare at the phone and let it ring 5 times before answering it...i see this all the time, its really annoying and i'm just not sure why people don't just answer the phone or mute the sound?

I don't think there is anything wrong with having audible notifications in most public places. Of course during a show or a meeting or at a library it wouldn't be appropriate. I think the OP is hyper sensitive. I understand that. I am hypersensitive about certain things, but I realize it is me, not everyone else.

They do it because they are rude, ignorant and inconsiderate.

I 100% agree. It's one thing if I am at Panera, I expect that. However, if I am at the movies then that shouldn't be happening. |
