After a rather painful experience this morning riding the 7:40 a.m. ferry, I would like to call for a ban on the use of mobile phones on morning ferries. Well, perhaps not a complete ban, but if you are considering making an endless series of calls to the office or relating to anything having to do with work, I believe your mobile phone should be confiscated and returned at the end of the voyage.
This measure will provide your fellow travellers a much more enjoyable morning excussion to work, to play or whatever else they are heading to, and save everyone from having to listen to annoyingly loud banter about your next deal, appointment, press release, etc.
Because really, do you need to begin tele-sales on the ferry? Isn't that what an office is for? Or, perhaps people like this need to consider:
a) taking an earlier ferry
b) staying at the office and never leaving
c) moving off Lamma
d) a series of painful, anti-mobile injections
e) all of the above.
Think before you call, people. There's more than just you and your mobile in the room.
This has been brought to you by the Committee to Ban Mobile Phones from our Sacred Planet Earth.
