Cell Phone Retardation

This summer when I was at the Black Hills Playhouse, I was isolated and didn't have the use of Internet or my cell phone. This caused me to completely forget what it was like to have a phone. Since being back, I have been leaving my phone on in inappropriate times, but I am getting back into the habit of turning it off.

Since classes have started, I notice things about cell phones. During most of my classes on Wednesday, I heard at least one cell phone vibrate. I don't understand why they have phones with vibrate settings. You can still hear them when sitting in a quiet classroom. They distract just as much when they are set to ring. I hate this. Not only once did a certain person's cell phone vibrate, but three times during one of my classes! Each time, all she did was reach into her bag and turn it off. Why have the damn thing on in the first place? If you aren't going to leave the classroom to answer it, why have it on at all? It distracts me from the lecture and it pisses me off. I can understand if you were waiting to see if your grandma was taking a turn for the worse, or to find out if you have AIDS, but seriously turn your fucking phones off. You aren't that important.
