Is There Proper Mobile Etiquette?
by Darla Mack
There are some things that fall under the category of ‘mobile etiquette’ that either we or others do that drive people nuts.
I’ll be the first to admit that my mobile etiquette definitely needs some work. I have the habit of just randomly texting someone and then if I don’t get a reply in a timely fashion I start calling. I guess thats due to my impatience, but the fact that is most of those times the matter has no sense of urgency what-so-ever. My apologies to my victims. 
I also have the habit of calling people and not leaving messages. I look at it this way… if I call, my number shows up therefore the person can tell that I’ve called. Bad theory?
I also have a bad habit of not checking my voice mail messages. Most of the time I’ll see who called and just call them back.
Now the funny thing is although I do these things, I can’t stand it when its done to me. Does this mean that I don’t participate in proper mobile etiquette? And is there such a thing?
We use our devices for everything. When we purchase a new phone it comes with a user manual to teach us about our device, if we don’t already know about it. Should the same thing apply for how we use our phones? Hmmm…. until further confirmation I’ll probably keep bugging people with messages and calls. Lol, they can always tell me to stop right?
