That ranks up there with listening to cell phone conversations when the person is talking with no regard for whomever is within earshot.

I get a few of those looks, but they're from new people that just haven't gotten the clue.

If the conversation is that important, keep it private and close the damn door!

I can't stand the rudeness of cell phone users in public.

Several years ago I took my wife out to an upscale restaurant to celebrate
our anniversary. A women with a party of 6 was taking cell calls while we were
eating and disturbing everyone around her.
When she hung up after the second call I got up and asked her politely if she
would take her calls outside as it was annoying. At least she was willing to comply.

If it were Burger King it would have been different.

Behind a woman at...you guessed it....Dunkie's this am and she decides to MAKE a phone call in mid-order!!! So the person waiting on her did not know if she was talking to her or to the person on the phone!! I wanted to beat her with a stale cruller!!!

You should have moved around and in front of her and made your order. Her problem is no one has given her a STALE CRAWLER/CRULLER lately......

Funny, even if I'm on a work conference call while paying for groceries I'll take the bud from my ear and give the cashier my full attention for the few moments...it's just rude.
