12/01/2002 Entry: "Phone etiquette"
I realised that I have a different attitude to the phone than most people around me.
What would you do if you were in the middle of a conversation someone who is actually there in person and your phone rings?
Do you stop your existing conversation in order to get the phone? Or do you let them drop to voicemail?
I'm surprised by the amount of people around me who will just break off an existing conversation in order to start a new one with a phone caller!
Don't people think that's rude? To me it's no different than someone interrupting you. I think that's one of the bad things right now. People prioritise phonecalls, text messages, and email over real "live" people who are right in front of you... grr...
