Has the smartphone ruined modern manners?

Survey found 68% would answer phone during dinner date

We’ve all been there: you’re on the train trying to unwind after a long day when the familiar blare of a mobile phone pierces your ears and you’re soon a passenger in someone else’s conversation. It’s an all too familiar scene thanks to the surge in popularity of the smartphone.

I go ballistic (in my mind), when someone behind me on public transport launches into a conversation on the phone. Mostly they seem to think they have to shout into the phone. Either because they're on a bus or because they're talking long-distance!

I don't know why. I feel like grabbing their phone and throwing it out the window!

But there are some I pick up. Mostly I get text messages so I don't even talk I just send a text message back.

But is I did I would finish the convo quickly and apologize to my company for the interruption. Then I would set my phone to Silent.
