I find cellphones anoying. Sure, they are useful, but some people really take the technology for granted.
Questions:
Is it mean to deliberately flush the toilet if someone is using their cellphone in a public washroom?
Would you accept a call from someone if you knew they were calling you from a public washroom?
Why would anyone think: "Gee, I have to piss... Wonder what (friend's name) is up to"?
Another set of questions:
Is it mean to repeat everything someone says when they are talking on their cellphone next to you on the bus?
Is it mean to make weird and rude noices when they are doing the above?
Is it mean to stare at them intimidatingly (while still making noices) while repeating their side of the conversation?
Just stuff I have wondered. I am curious as you know.

It kinda depends on the situation...If my cellphone rings while I'm on the bus or something I'd better well answer it or else I'll get my ass handed to me. Its cuz it's for work and if it rings it's usually an emergency...So in that situation, if someone did the things you're mentioning here while I'm on my cell I, personally, would react very badly...For personal use though there is a time and place for a cell phone.
I suppose it would make people mad, but hard to have respect for those who don't have respect for anyone else. I mean, if I had a cellphone on a bus, it would be turned OFF for the duration of the bus ride. One reason being: I like my privacy when i'm talking on the phone. Not every stranger sitting around me needs to know what I did last weekend, or what I'm going to do next weekend. I just find cellphones annoying in the hands of annoying, inconsiderate idiots.
True enough...social calls can wait. I don't answer those on the bus. I hate answering the cell on the bus regardless but calls from work can't really wait...especially if you ride the bus as much as I do! ;) Who knows, maybe some corporate executive has a serious problem and you're the only one who can fix it...it's happened to me before and believe me, you don't want the CEO of your big multination workplace to know who you are if he's mad cuz he can't get his email
