Huh? I Completely Agree with Phone Company Advice …

To that end, a new study commissioned by Vodafone UK found that over 70-percent of all workers "talk business on their mobile phones in public, with one-in-five talking about business-critical subjects such as sales leads." Worse still, 15-percent admitted to "openly discussing confidential new products or services whilst traveling," while 26-percent admitted that they have actually followed up on a lead in which they received via listening in to another’s public call. Not surprisingly, the company recommends that individuals utilize more discreet methods of communicating in public, suggesting texting and emailing in particular.

That’s some advice from Vodafone in the UK, for business folks talking trash, and sometimes revealing confidential information along the way, on cellphones.  Nice.  Good advice from a phone company.  Please shut up or talk quieter, or send a written / typed form of communication instead. 

How many times have you *wished* some suit would do that instead of regaling you and everyone around you with their latest triumph in a crowded public place?  Lots would be my quick answer.

I really like the SHHH cards produced by Coudal.com (like the image top of this post) as well.
