Virgin Mobile: ‘Enough talk already’
What the world clearly needs in these days of fast and furious comms is better on-the-go telephone manners. Thank you, then, Virgin Mobile US for launching the online Center Of Phone Etiquette. That’s COPE to you and me. And it’s there to primarily help others dial it down.
So, at this handy little website, you’ll find unspoken rules such as ‘no one should be stuck in an elevator with you, your phone, or your plans for the evening’. Which is, by the way, Rule Number 259. And you even can rate and share these regulatory gems to spread the dial it down message. Why, you can even add your own…
Virgin Mobile has also added a video gallery of annoying mobile phone misconduct. There’s a digital Mobile Eti-Kit to download too. Plus there’s some kind of hotline where sufferers can report etiquette incidents.
