OK, Strutters, here's the part where I justify my at-work Struttage by using the site to do some actual work.b,121b,121The deal: I've been tapped to write this story called The 10 Commandments of iPhone Etiquette for work. It's the sequel to an apparently quite successful story we ran about the 10 commandments of cell phone etiquette, only with iPhone and therefore better!b,121b,121The problem: Coming up with 10 commandments without straight-up recycling the cell phone commandments (the final iPhone commandment is that all the cell phone rules still apply).b,121b,121The list so far:b,121b,121* Silence your noisy/obnoxious apps when in publicb,121b,121* Don't elbow people while playing a driving game or doing something else that has you waving your iPhone aroundb,121b,121* No "I've got cooler apps than you" pissing contestsb,121b,121* If you use your iPhone behind a business firewall, don't go tapping unprotected WiFi networks while you're out and aboutb,121b,121* We're not impressed that you've got the latest, greatest model/OS/jailbreak/whatever, so stop showing offb,121b,121* Don't use it while drivingb,121b,121So I've got six entries, plus the "cell phone rules still apply" one to make seven. I still need three more. Got any ideas? Help a cracker out!

    Be sensitive to those who are i-nsecure, the people who are tired of seeing iphones or who for some inexplicable reason hate iphones and are still using Razrs or some shit. Don't pull out your iphone around these people and be like "I don't need directions, i'll just get them from my iphone"b,121b,121they hate that.

  • 4YearGraduate4YearGraduate 2,945 Posts
    Hehe Gary, your not the only one. b,121I forgot about your rant the night before about everyone and thier "god damn iphones" so it was insensitive of me to pull it out to get directions to Sea World the next day (which really needed no directions).b,121b,121Most importantly, and I think this should be the final comandment - An Iphone is 199$. It is cheaper at this point than some other smart phones. It is not the equivalent to buying a bentley or some shit. Do not wear it on your hip. No one cares. You are not hot shit because you dropped $200 on a phone. Especially if you are using it for monkeyball, the Izippo and the Iforty and not business.

    * When you go meet someone or some people for dinner or drinks don't sit there texting and/or browsing the web the whole time.b,121b,121I went and met my brother and his friends for his birthday on Monday and 90% of the table had a iPhone. Once one MF'er broke his out, the rest had to and then everyone was off in their own iPhone private mindgarden or showing each other whatever dumb shit they were looking at on the phone.
