Top Ten List of Cell Phone Annoyances

These aren't the Top Ten annoyances. If I tried harder, I gotta believe I could come up with better ones.

Hearing someone ten feet away from you describe the weather.

Hearing someone five feet away say "I gotta run; gotta go to the bathroom."

Folks who can't go anywhere without a cell phone.

Folks who interrupt your conversation to take a cell phone call.

Folks who take that call and talk about inanities for five minutes, knowing you're sitting there, waiting.

Absent-minded driving fueled by cell phone use.

Parents who interrupt activities with their children so they can take the cell phone call (none of my business, but when I see it, I cringe for the child).

Cell phone narcissists ("I Cell, Therefore I Am")

Cell phones in the wilderness or other outdoor venues.

Cell phones in places reserved for silence (churches, libraries, lecture halls, my bedroom).
