Aside from the guys that truly need the phone 24/7 for work, family issue (pregnant wife, terminal relative, real estate, stock deal, etc), I think you are a complete fucking tool to carry your phone in the gym. I see it everynight and it's just fucking silly. You tools that carry your phones in the gym to stay in touch with your friends (aka peeps, homies, playas, pimps, hos or whatever ghetto/street/trash/redneck term is in for the week) are fucking idiots that need to look important, busy, needed, etc - you pathetic fucks. The majority of you idots that do carry waste the majority of your "training" time on the phone.
Maybe it all comes down to how you view the phone/phone call vs what's in front of you. Personally, I don't answer the phone during dinner, while I am conversing, or simply busy with something that's important to me.
Two words, Voice Mail. Drop the cell, forget call waiting, show some respect to the matters at hand.
