New technology introduces the need for new rules of etiquette.

There's not much more annoying than finding a private spot in a public building to use your cell phone and having someone plunk down beside you and listen to everything you're saying.

There's not much more annoying than having to ask someone using their cell phone in a public place if they wouldn't mind moving out of the way while you use the stairway (or kitchenette or elevator or meeting room…)

Good old fashioned rudeness never goes out of style.
