Question

Which of the following is a rule of thumb for cell phone or smartphone etiquette? A. Silence your phone during meetings. B. Avoid checking your phone repeatedly for notifications. C. Do not speak on your phone while in line at a cash register. D. All of the above

Answer 1

I believe the correct response is D. All of the above.

Answer 2

Answer:

D. All of the above.

Explanation:

The first one is quite trivial. It is a no brainer that one must silence their phones in meetings. It disrupts everyone when it rings unexpectedly in a typically quiter room.

Avoid checking you phone repeatedly. Yes, we know you're expecting that textback from a special someone, however you need to unwind and be present with the people around you.

Please do avoid talking on your phone while in line at a cash register. The problem here is that, everyone around you is forced to listen to your entire conversation. This can make them feel uncomfortable.

So generally, it is a good rule of thumb to follow ALL OF THE ABOVE.
