Also in most cases the students forget to turn off the volume to their cell phones which will then interrupt the class or test. The kids see it as fun chatting with their friends while they are in another class, but they don’t see all the important notes being missed. If the teacher is assigning homework or informing the class about an upcoming test the student will not hear, which will then lead to failure! Year after year more and more students get cell phones convincing their parents that it will come in handy in case of an emergency. But if anything urgent were to happen at school the student can go to the office and make a phone call there.
“Holy crap I am so getting a ticket.” “Is there a reason why you were driving so fast?” He then asked me. “Well”, I replied, “To be honest I was trying to get here to help the guys load all our gear and quads, so they didn’t have to do it by themselves. Also, I am so used to driving the truck with the speedometer being off that I didn’t think much of it driving the car. That’s my fault though for not paying attention, I apologize.” He gave me a foolish look like what a stupid blonde, then he looked at Dallas. “She’s telling the truth, the truck is off.” Dallas piped up.

In fact, I almost always look for a quiet spot, which allow me to relax my body and my mind a little bit while I am in the bus.

It is so obnoxious when rude people walk into a restaurant with their cells attached to their ears I work in a restaurant as a waiter and oftentimes have to deal with
