The bad part of that is that rules that aren't written aren't understood or known to all. Terms like "polite", "proper", "rude", "right","wrong", "good", "bad", and "god", are invariably subjective and tend to differ wildly from person to person.

I tend to become infuriated by people who fail to use their turn signals when turning or changing lanes, according to the law. It's like saying "screw you, I don't need to tell you which way I'm headed or what I'm doing." I also get aggravated at people who flick their ashes out the window. The world isn't these people's ashtray! I, for one, don't like breathing in all the smoke from people driving in front of me, puffing away with their windows open.

Until there is a rule against it, however, I'll just have to stay bitter about it. That's what people who get annoyed by cell phone users should do, too. Get upset and keep it to themselves, or they can get upset and say something. Whatever. I just think that there are FAR better uses for one's time, and FAR better causes to rail against than "ettiquette."
