[QUOTE="RonJohn, post: 874285, member: 2426"] For me it depends. In a place like a medical waiting room, I would typically not accept calls unless it was for work or an emergency. I would text back and forth to provide updates to people, etc. If it was an actual emergency, I would probably deal with it as the gravity dictated. For a work call, I would probably leave the waiting room and complete the conversation outside or in the corner of a building. It is very common for people to carry on phone/facetime conversations around strangers that they shouldn't. It is even pretty common for them to have the other person on speaker so the group of strangers hears both sides of the conversation. I think one of the worst examples I remember was landing in Atlanta and a guy got on his phone describing the graphic details of the bachelor party he was arriving home from. He was the only person on the plane talking and was talking louder than he thought he was. [/QUOTE]
