Certainly you are often out in public with other people and have conversations with them. How is it so different when someone else has a conversation with their friends over a cell phone instead of in person? I just don't understand why this upsets you so much? (Unless the conversation takes place in a theater or concert or a church, mosque or synagogue, where all casual conversations, cell phone or in-person, are frowned upon.) -- Vic Roberts
