Top 5 Worst Places to Have Your Cell phone Go Off

In the cutting edge of technology, about 203 million people in America own a cell phone. It seems like every few months a new and improved cell phone comes into the market with a dozen functions that would put a Swizz army knife to shame. Of course, having too much of a good thing can turn out bad. Even though many people say they need and depend on it, they also find the cellular phone to be a nuisance; especially if phones ring at the worst time possible. Take the following places for example:

 1. Funerals

The time where everyone is busy mourning the death of a loved one, the last thing they need is to hear a cell phone disturbing the peace.

 2. Weddings

A woman’s fairy tale-like fantasy comes true with this once in a lifetime experience. Warm smiles, proud looks and then hearing the sounds of a never – ending ring tone of one’s cell can ruin the happy moment in less than 5 seconds.

 3. Job Interviews

The one chance of making a good impression; anything can go south with one wrong move. That includes having the employee hearing Sir Mix a Lot’s “Baby Got Back” as your ringtone.

 4. School Shows (Plays, Music Concerts, ect.)

Whether it’s during the middle of a character monologue or a student performance, having a cell phone go off in the audience is as much of a pain as putting up with a crying baby in an airplane on a three hour trip.

 5. Class Lecture           

During a very important lecture, the last thing you need is to bother your classmates and your professor with a cell phone. Not only is it a good way to get yourself kicked out, but also you end up looking foolish.
