Around here cell phone use is not permitted in doctor's offices...
there are signs saying to go outdoors to use your phone... many
medical waiting rooms have cell phone signal jammers. Public pay
phones were in booths or behind a sound barrier... but cell phone
users are rude, they scream into their phone so annoy everyone around
them and who needs to hear their filthy language. I have no need to
use a phone when I'm not at home, in my entire life I used a pay phone
maybe 4 times... every cell phone conversation I've ever overheard is
nothing but inane gibberish with the foulest of language.
