Put the cell phone down!

It seems that we have become a society who would rather communicate via text message or email than talk to the person sitting next to us. Ever notice how it takes about 0.5 seconds for everyone to frantically turn on their cell phones after the plane lands? Or that annoying little light while someone is sending text messages during a movie? Is it really going to kill you to not be in touch with someone for a brief period of time while participating in certain activities?
And the people with Iphones are the worst!! FYI: you will NOT die if you don't come in to physical contact with your iphone for more than 10 seconds. Put the iphone DOWN. :)
Here are some times when you should not be on your cell phone:
1. in the bathroom. I've seen people in public bathrooms using their phones. Finish your business, wash, then use phone. :)
2. while eating dinner with someone else!! how rude!
3. while you are working out. You can't focus on your physical fitness for one hour without using your cell phone?
4. while you are ordering food or coffee or any kind of other service that involves human interaction.
5. any time that using your cell phone distracts you from something that may cause harm to other people!

We need to put the phones down more... life is passing right before our eyes because we are too busy looking at that little screen.
