Our first topic is about something many of us would rather live without, but double back home to get if we leave them behind. Mobile phones.
We'd like to know your thoughts on mobiles phones and their usage. Things like when you should or shouldn't use them, what time is too late to call someone and when is it appropriate or inappropriate to text or call.

I think mobile phone usage can be very obtrusive, and people should respect that in some situations they shouldn't be used. For example, if you are visiting a friend whom you haven't seem for a while...it is very rude to sit there texting someone else when you should be 'catching up'. One situation that has happened to me...I got a text from one of my friends who was organising her afternoon. She was with one of her other friends who was obviously busy later in the arvo, so she was making sure that she wouldn't be alone for the rest of the day. In the end I told her that I was busy and I don't know what she did with herself!!! But then in other situations they are great. My brother doesn't have a home phone, so we can only contact him on his mobile. So he has to expect texts at all hours if we need to get in contact with him (text only, cos it's more expensive to call). If you are on a date or something like that, then it is a definate no-no - people need to use their commonsense.
