Cell Phone Etiquette: Get Off the Phone You Rude Ass Bitch!

Many need a lesson in cell phone etiquette, especially salon clients and retail customers who deliberately make others wait as they finish their personal phone calls. Ask the Pro Stylist says, “Get off the phone, you rude-ass bitch!”

All of my clients, at one time or another have been on their cell phone while I did their hair. It’s usually the teens that are texting away or on social media because their fingers might atrophy and fall off if they don’t somehow stay connected to the invisible world. On a few occasions guests have chatted, but generally get off the cell quickly. Because my salon is also in my home, people tend to be more relaxed and at ease. I am also a friend to all of my clients, so there is always that fine line between being taken advantage of and not. None of my guests however have ever been as rude as the shopper in a local beauty supply I had the misfortune of witnessing on my recent trek in. So let’s teach this rude ass bitch a little cell phone etiquette.

Cell phone etiquette 101:

Do not return your business or personal calls while you shop or check out you rude ass bitch. No one wants to hear your conversation and you are slowing down the shoppers behind you as you make the staff and other customers wait for you to finish your calls. The employees of said beauty supply have other jobs to do rather than stand their until your are done, unless your ego has inflated your fat head so much that you truly believe you are better than those who are waiting on you.

When the clerk asks if you need help, do NOT put your hand up in the girl’s face as if to say, “wait, I’m on the phone.” Not once, but 4 times this ignorant POS did this to the very friendly sales associates at the store. NO, NO, NO! Get off your phone and let the staff do their job.

Instead of using your phone to talk, all smart phones have calculators and bank apps. How about checking your account balance before your broke ass is declined 3 times, or add up your purchase as you shop to make sure your empty and pathetic wallet has all of the cash to complete the transaction. Since you obviously can’t add, use the damn calculator on your phone instead of talking. You sincerely need more than a lesson is cell phone etiquette, you need a social overhaul!

The people you encountered were TOO nice to you. Next time, someone who has had it with your behavior might just slap that cell phone right out of your no-class hands to teach you a little cell phone etiquette.
