Very annoying
October 15, 2007
Does anybody else get annoyed when a cell phone goes off during a church service? Seriously, why does this still happen? I understand we live in a cell phone-driven society. Rarely do I see anybody driving anymore that is NOT on their phone. And I hate to generalize, but it is usually a mom in her gas-guzzling SUV going to pick her kids up from soccer practice. Those are the worst! I can’t stand it when a car is holding up several behind it, then when I finally pass, that person is on their phone, unaware of the world around them. It makes me want to slash their tires.
So back to the church service. Again, why does this still happen? It has happened several times at the church I attend. I also notice that people with the most annoying ring tones are the ones that leave their phones on full blast. Do they honestly think their ringtone sounds good? Yesterday, during church, someone’s phone went off. Big surprise. Then it went off again, the same phone I might add. This didn’t happen just two or three times, but four times. Honestly, are you so concerned with your phone that you cannot turn it off for 2 hours a week and give that time solely to God? To me, that is extremely selfish and rude.
Please, for the sake of everyone, be courteous enough to turn your phone off during church. And if you own a phone, please do not drive ever.
