11 WRONG PLACES TO USE YOUR PHONE
Our phones have become a part of our everyday lives,
especially in the era of smart phones. Using one’s smart phone has spelt
misfortune and even death for some people as phone usage isn’t acceptable
everywhere you are. Quickly, below are 11 wrong places to use your phone(s).
1. In A Religious
Gathering
Whether it’s in the church or mosque, as long as a religious
service is going on, using your phone is sure to distract you and probably
someone else, close to you. If your body is twitching to use your phone, simply
step out, knock yourself out and step back into the service.
2. During An
Interview
Ever heard of people who were sent out of an interview
process because they couldn’t just switch off their phones as instructed? It
may sound bizarre but if you find yourself at an interview, with the sudden
urge to draw out your phone (especially against instruction) don’t do it.
3. In The Airplane
These are the “Social Media Must See This”
people. Some people would even go as far as fighting the flight attendants
after persistently telling (begging) them to switch off their phones. They
should threaten to throw them out without a refund.
4. At The Filling
Station
The sign that has a phone picture with a red line across it
isn’t just for decoration. You’re posing a potential risk to your life and the
lives of other people at the filling station. Just switch off the network for
the short (or long) period of time.
5. On A Date
Some ladies are too fond of this one. Yes, you don’t like the
guy but you’re eating the food he paid for. At least don’t insult his
personality by choosing your phone over him. And guys who do it too, it’s a big
sign of disrespect.
6. At The Movies
A lot of people are guilty of this one. The hall is dark.
When you take a picture, you camera flashes and there’s no escaping it being a
source of distraction for people close to you. If you’re no longer interested
in the movie, allow them watch theirs in peace.
7. During A
Meeting
Many bosses take advantage of their position to put up this
“No one can question me” attitude of using their phones. It is sign of
irresponsibility. Dozing in the meeting is a more tolerable bad habit than
using your phone.
8. At The
Saloon
Hair stylists can relate to this. You used your phone
throughout the whole time and you’re complaining the style isn’t exactly what
you asked for. How will it be? Is the stylist a magician? OYO is your case. Abeg
fly.
9. While Driving
A lot of people have died from this particular habit, so much
doesn’t need to be said on this one. If you’re still text-driving, God help
your soul and good luck!
10. While
Walking On The Road
Until some people bump into a pole or someone else, they
won’t remember that they’re on the road. Some even go as far walking into an
oncoming vehicle. Death cases have also been recorded on text-walking habit.
11. Add
yours
Feel free to add yours.
Good luck to our phone addict pals everywhere. God continue
to help you guys.
