Cell phone etiquette.

I witnessed something today that I would love to forget, or I would have loved to gone over and taken the woman's cell phone out of her hand and placed it into a nearby fish tank.

I noticed that the waitress was preparing for a large party. A family of 5 with 3 small children showed up first followed by an older couple and then there was the younger couple. I want to say the woman was thirtyish. You were drawn to her not because it was like that game on Sesame Street of one of these things is not like the others. Even though it totally fit because all of the other diners were these tiny soft spoken polite well dressed individuals. Even the children were well behaved and then there was this woman. Wild red hair wearing a tshirt that said something and talking very loudly into her cellphone. You heard her as she entered the restaurant and she didn't get off. Not when she came in, not when she sat down and not when the orders were being taken. She loudly laughed and talked with the person on the other end of the line while the others sat quietly and waited for her to get off her phone for an uncomfortable amount of time. She was laying her upper body on the table dramatically laughing and saying that she couldn't believe what the other person was saying and then more hysterical laughing. When she finally did get off the phone all she did was lay it on the table. No explanation, no apology, no nothing.

Really? Seriously? People. Come on. You have to know that there are certain things that you do and do not on a cell phone. You are being rude. Get over yourself we all have cell phones. Hang up and become involved in the world that is right in front of you.
