so today I was in a medical waiting room waiting for my spouse to have some minor medical procedure. (Of course) she was admitted 1-1/2 hour past her scheduled time so I spent the better part of the afternoon sitting there waiting. In the meantime, I sat there and witnessed (and was forced to endure) several phone conversations. It was somewhat uncomfortable for me as it felt like I was eavesdropping although the other parties didn't seem to mind.
If I receive a call while in a public setting, I always ask to return the call or recuse myself to a private area. Seems like it is better for me and respectful to those around me. IS there a common definition of protocol around this issue? I am curious as to what others may think about this topic.
