Are We Both Jerks?

July is National Cell Phone Courtesy Month.  (Yes, there’s a Month for just about anything.)  Anyone who has been rudely interrupted by people on their phones or been run into by a walker  (or driver!) chatting on a phone or…well, you know…will appreciate this month.

But, wait.  Maybe I’ve been guilty of being a cell-phone jerk, too.  Have you?  Probably, since we’re all human.

Anyway, the founder (in 2002) of this Month, Jacqueline Whitmore, has 7 simple ways for us to take ourselves out of such jerk-dom.  Take a look.

I pledge to be better at this.
