A Uniform Code Of Mobile Conduct?
As the ring-ring sing-song cells or mobiles are threatening to outnumber the hapless mortals of this planet earth certain behavioral patterns are fast emerging on the scene driving you almost to your wits’ end. Times are changed. Once upon a time a person walking talking to himself/herself in the street was called a lunatic, now he/she is a proud high-end user.
The said behavioral patterns can either be amusing or irritating or plain intruding. We are more concerned for the disturbing patterns. We have tried to record some patterns here a few of which may be region specific and so can be ignored or just enjoyed by patrons not belonging to that particular region.
Situation one. You are traveling in a bus or in a train. The passenger next suddenly bellows into his/her tiny instrument. You are roughly wrung out of your nice thoughts or quiet napping or absorbing reading or peaceful brooding. Till that noise polluter stops you suffer helplessly.
Situation two. Again you are in a bus or a train or in an air ride. You are now exposed to erotica. The person next just does not want to keep away his/her instrument. He/she fondles it, caresses it, kisses it and even licks it urging it on to burst into its tuneful climax. It’s up to you if you get titillated or disgusted.
Situation three. You are in a movie house and you are instantly aware of the proud owners who would stop at nothing to go on flashing their prized possessions. You’ll see numerous pools of luminous light all around. Some of the proud owners would not even know how to keep their instruments in silent mode. Some of them would even dare answering the calls not knowing how to keep their voices low. It’s entirely up to you if you can still enjoy the movie in Dolby stereo with all those added tracks.
Situation four. You are in the midst of a most fruitful constructive discussion. Suddenly the instrument of one of the group would burst out singing. That user would answer it, stand up, walk away and keep pacing up and down endlessly. You’d start thinking how to continue, end, re-start or trek the discussion.
Situation five. We have here the syndrome of the missed calls. Some people keep on giving missed calls. They beat you squarely in the act of answering even if you are very quick i.e. you just cannot answer such calls. You may know some of them, but you are at a total loss what they expect from you. Maybe they want to convey something in a form like the Da Vinci code. Maybe they want to avoid inflating their own mobile bills and so just want to pass on the burden to generous patrons like you. In any case we cannot suggest what you should ideally do.
Such irritants are only likely to increase over time.
So why not get together and campaign for a uniform code of mobile conduct.
