When will people learn how to use a cell phone in public meetings? The darn thing rings, so they open the phone, and then hit ignore. This just causes the person to either (a) call back, or (b) leave a message, both of which cause the phone to either (a) ring again, or (b) give the tones/notes/tunes for an incoming voice mail message.
The best thing I ever saw was during one of these meetings, after hitting ignore twice, and the phone ringing again, twice, the guy had the decency to get up. So I am thinking he is going to go outside now and answer the phone. No such luck, apparently he got up (so he could better answer the phone, I guess) and said he is in a meeting and then SAT BACK DOWN TO CONTINUE TO HAVE THE CONVERSATION! Obviously, he was not capable of talking and continuing to have his feet move towards the door.
The proper thing to do is to just shut the phone off.
why can't you just silence the phone? you wont hear the ringing or the voicemail?
