Don't you hate it when people tap away on their BlackBerrys at the dinner table, or discuss their love lives on their cells in the dentist's office? Sure you do—but you've never been guilty of such breaches of mobile etiquette, right? Right.

Talking in the bathroom and texting or phones ringing in movie theaters are my biggest pet peeves. I don't care if people talk or text in public just as long as their reasonably quiet about it.
No offense Ben, but it's etiquette.
It bothers me most when people use their phones and text while I'm at theater although at restaurants is a close second. As for at retail and grocery stores or restrooms, it doesn't really matter to me. Also, I'm not offended if someone texts while they're talking to me as long as I can still tell they're paying attention.
When my friends are texting other people when I'm around...what am I, chopped liver?
Im not perfect, i text in public and in restaurants.... but I agree with the part about being on the phone while in the john. Just today I happened to hear a man talking on his phone at the same time while taking care of 'business matters' and all I could think was I wonder what the other person must be hearing and thinking.....
I have to say i have done a lot of this stuff. I text all the time but i still pay attention to the people I'm with. when i can hear someone talking on their cell phone from the other side of the room. That drives me crazy.
It's the bathroom, for crying out loud! Get over it!! When people are blowing their noses and farting in public (instead of the b-room) using the room for a conversation is NO BIG DEAL.
@m_leinoff Ditto. Everything that was described here is rude. and it's RARE that i answer the phone while i'm fraternizing, driving or eating. But i'm old (28yo)

Texting while driving is my #1 peeve, accident waiting to happen. Having lunch or dinner with someone and pulling the phone to text would be my #2.
