h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

"Sins" for mobles:

1. Not turning them off when in a meeting.
2. Two word text message - come on, say something!!!
3. Voicemails, especially long-winded ones when a text would suffice.
4. Only phoning once when the person's lost signal and leaving a message, instead of trying again.

.... neglecting to lock your keypad to avoid *constantly* accidentally texting or phoning the first person in your address book.

My name (no, not Otto) appears first alphabetically in many people's phone books, and this happens to me all the time. Last night I was woken up at 3am, and would have been woken again at 5am had I not switched my phone off.

Lock your keypad, and/or put a dummy entry called AAAAAA with no number into your phone book.

Or you'll burn in hell for ever.

Yeah. And tell your friends to turn their phone off at night to avoid such disturbances. You don't need your phone at 4am, so why waste the battery leaving it on.

Er.... I believe the usual reason for leaving a phone on overnight is so as to be contactable in the event of an emergency.

I suppose that's ok if you don't have a landline. But if you do, I don't get why you'd leave it on. My sister tells me it's so you can get and reply to a text if it comes through. But why would you want to be woken (and maybe the rest of the household too) by your phone bleeping at 4am for nothing?

What about blurting out the most personal of things as loudly as possible early mornings in the train compartment...
I have to contain myself not to cry out telling the person in particular that their personal life really isn't interesting at all (let alone their sex life)

Yeah, that's annoying too. In any public place. At least have the decency for your own sake to go round the corner or phone the person back later in private.
