I totally agree. Cell phones did create this. I have a cell phone as does almost everybody but when I am in a restaurant or anywhere in public I mute my phone and I wait to call someone back. It is more or less an answering machine for me. It is exceptionally rude. The worst thing is when you are driving in the car with someone and they answer their phone and start talking to someone else when you are sitting right next to them. Its ok if you are getting directions or something but not just to chat. It is one of my pet peeves. Cell phones are a convenience and they should be used as such but not at the extreme that they are. If you are a doctor or someone that needs to be found in an emergency then fine but otherwise shut the phone off.
