Charles Fisher/ Cell Phone Usage-
Some people get really frustrated while others use cell phones in public. In “Cell Phones and Social Graces,” Charles Fisher talks about how he despises cell phones, and the ways other people tend to use them. He describes how disrespectful some people could get and how they may even take over some peoples lives. I personally never realized how somebody could hate cell phones so much. I some what agree with some of Fishers arguments such as when he talks about how people can not wait to use them. People talk on their phones while doing certain activities that they really could wait on, like while in church or on a carousel ride, as Fisher explains. Can they not wait two minutes at the most to return somebody's phone call? The situation gets worse, not only because they are being discourteous and answering a call at an inappropriate timing, but because of how they are handling the phone call. I do not think that a lot of people know the difference between their indoor and outdoor voices. I once was at a local Borders Book Store and some lady's phone happened to ring. She answered it and was talking into it as if she was in a crowd. I don't think she cared about what the people around her thought. Some people just don't get it.
