Very rarely is it important enough to take with me and answer. If it is a possibility that I have to take a call, I tell the person I am with. I am always reminded about how life was without cell phones. We all survived! I really try hard not to do that – I leave my cell phone in the car when I meet people.

When I answered the door, she was in a full-fledge conversation on her cell! (Why didn't she just finish the call in the car??) Anyway, it was awkward as she barely acknowledged me when I let her in, motioned her to a seat. I didn't know whether I should leave the room (I assumed she didn't care if I overheard) or what. Her conversation went on for a full 10-15 minutes and it was even more awkward when she finally hung up. She didn't even apologize or explain! It really annoys me unless it is an emergency call or it has something do with what we are doing at the time. People lose all courtesy, it seems, on their cell phones.

To avoid that, I keep my phone turned off unless I'm out of the area, need to make a call, or expect to receive an important one at a certain time. Otherwise I do the old fashioned thing and use land lines. Because I live where cell phone reception is difficult to get my battery needs frequent recharging even if the phone hasn’t been used.
