Silencing your cell phone at the outset of a movie is standard these days, however nothing could be more distracting than a bright spotlight when some receives or is responding to a text message in a dark movie theater. If you must use your phone, adjust your settings to a lower brightness.

A bad cellphone manner that in effect bothers me is when you’re talking to someone and you realize they’re as a matter of fact talking to someone on their bluetooth and not paying you any mind.

What As a matter of fact bothers me the most is when i see moms on their cell phones instead of watching their kids .I understand we all have to get on our phones for whatever reason for a minute or two however if you’re on your phone for longer than 5 minutes and not even staring at what your what  child is doing at the time thats BAD  .
