Absolutely perfect. I have been subjected to other's cell phone conversations in restaurants, Broadway plays, concerts, etc, ad nauseum. And it just isn't the talking, it is the annoying ring tones people are using.

Cell phones should be taken to a place where one is alone or somewhat private. Anything else is boorish, and another aspect of the general decline in manners in society.

And with regards to the original list, I would add drivers to the 'shall not use cellphones' list, for safety reasons.
