Are You an Annoying Mobile Phone User?

Here in the developed west nearly everyone now has a moble phone. We should all be aware that around half of the worlds population will have never made or received a telephone call.

This highlights how lucky we are to have access to affordable telecommunications and the technological gap that exists between the developed countries and those in the developing world.

But many people think that mobile phones are actually more irritating than they are useful. Have you used a bus or a train lately?

I have to take the train to and from London every day and I find myself forced to listen to mobile conversations that I would far rather not hear. Ever evening on my way home from work on the train from London I have to listen to various people calling home to tell their partners that, surprise, surprise, they are on the train. And every day I have to listen to the same people making the same pointless calls, just because they can. How did they manage before mobile phones?

I’m also forced to listen to the inane conversations of teenagers that make no sense whatsoever. Often, they seem to be discussing their boring, empty lives or scathingly criticizing an alleged friend’s dress sense or discussing boyfriends in unflattering terms. In one conversation that a young lady chose to share with the occupants of a packed commuter train she cheerfully derided a young man’s sexual prowess with grizzly attention to detail. As she proceeded to describe her experience in far too much detail everyone in the compartment was squirming with embarassment.

Forcing other people to listen to one side of your telephone conversation is just one aspect of modern mobile phone use that is incredibly annoying. Another is people who use their mobiles to play their music far too loudly without any thought for others who might not like hip hop music.

We all need to remember how lucky we are to even have mobile phones. They need to be used considerately and ideally they should never be provided to people who use them to loudly describe their sex lives.
