1. You are not the only person in the store.
2. Your ringtone is really annoying.
3. Stop texting in class.
4. Putting your phone on vibrate.
5. Learning to not answer the phone if all you are going to do is pick it up, say "I can't talk now" and then hang up.
6. Leaving a message.
7. Programming your voicemail.
The newest thing that bugs the joy out of me is people who program their phone to play you a song instead of that incoming call tone. You know, you dial a number, put the phone up to your ear and hear that familiar pulse that has been unchanged since you can remember. Well some people have selected the option to MAKE you hear a song during that time rather than the normal pulsing tone.
The problem being that those people are forcing you to listen to music you may or may not like. They will NEVER hear it themselves unless they are calling their own cell phone which almost never happens. It's a scam [sure, i'll buy music that i'll never listen to] AND it is completely inconsiderate. The other day I called someone who had Kid Rock singing his recently popular and reaaaaally bad rendition of Sweet Home Alabama. I wanted to hang up instantly - forget what the call was about, it simply wasn't worth the abuse I was forced to take. The best part is that when I called her on it she said she had no idea that was the song it played. She had intended to have the original Sweet Home Alabama play. It didn't make me feel any better.
