Some stores out here prohibit use of phones while in the store. Not Chain stores mind you but privately owned places. I saw some lady get denied service because she called someone from inside the store. It was hilarious. There is a big sign as you come in and one right near the counter. She is in line and decides to call. She gets to the register and the guy just pointed @ the sign and told her to come back when she was done w/ her call. OMG so funny!

I hate people with no cellphone etiquette.....

One time I was having lunch at the Riverdale Diner in Shelton with some coworkers and there was this table of 3 men sitting behind us doing the same....  One of the guys took a phone call at the table, then proceeded to put the call on speaker phone and have a conversation....I just then happened to go into an uncontrollable coughing fit which forced the jerkoff to take his call outside...

I\'ve said this so many times but WHY THE HELL CAN\'T PEOPLE EXPERIENCE WHAT IS GOING ON AROUND THEM! They all need this umbilical cord to the things and people they know. UGH it bothers me so much. I am soooo glad that I don\'t know anyone that would call me just to chat. WTF is that.

And Leith we have a few stores around here that have a similar policy. I appluad it. Manners seems to be a thing of the past im afraid

phone\'s don\'t cause accidents, idiots that dont know how to drive do

this is true, but there are still people who absolutely suck at multitasking and seriously forget that they are driving once they get on the phone.

but these people are bad drivers to begin with. i agree with rich here.. it\'s not the act of holding something up to your ear that causes people to drive silly. most people don\'t have 2 hands on the wheel anyways..

Bad drivers or not it is a proven fact that anyone using a cell phone even a hands free  phone does lose focus on their driving. Even if the person is only listening w/ both hands on the wheel they WILL lose focus.
This law may seem silly but so did the seatbelt laws and the helmet laws. If you really need to make a call pull over. No call is more important than your life.

or somebody elses.

The world on the road would be a better place if we went back to the great invention called" the pager" (beeper)if you will...

This way you have to pull over to a pay phone to make your call.
And people wont be able to talk on the phone in there car....I\'ll tell you what too, it\'s a hell of alot cheaper than a cell phone....

i hate cell phones.

[obsession600]

The cell phone companies keep trying to get permission to broadcast signal in the subways. Thankfully 90% of the commuters hate the idea.
I can easily imagine some nasty fights if people started yakking away during the end of the day rush hour.

if you think its bad in the NE, imagine being in montana. Where everyone has a pickup truck that is jacked up ten feet off the ground, tinted out with sound systems. which says to me they probably cant hear or see to begin with. as well as most of em were taught how to drive on the farm, with no pavement what so ever which makes em even crazier, now add 75 mile an hour speed limits, lots of wildlife and cell phones to the mix=extremely deadly. not to mention they give kids learners permits at 14 and 1/2 here, 14 year old kids cant even pay attention while walking across the road much less while driving and talking to there soccer coaches. another thing i heard about is that they just got the open container and no smoking inside laws here, talk about behind the times.

Ah, New Hampshire! The live free or DIE state, we dont have these silly seat belt/helmet/cell phone laws. I dont think we do...I wonder how many people die in NH because of that?

[stabmasterarson]

nh is also the only state you dont legally need car insurance

Actually it is illegal to talk on a cellphone while driving in New Hampshire unless it is hands free.

Also I think we may have seatbelt laws for those under 18. Not sure about that one though.
