sidekick pager manners

Hello dear friends of mine!! ;)

Before I start off with my message, I would like to point out I believe this is not spam. My message explains a very good point and deep concern with the Deaf quality of life. In the past few weeks, I have been noticing a lot of angry confrontations and frustrations between friends using pagers in activities, while visiting friends and important meetings. I wrote up a challenge to you to read and share with your friends. If you plan to forward this, PLEASE write a personal message and erase other people's emails and attachments to keep it clean so others would not get upset for receiving this challenge!! Peace!

Pagers Etiquette Challenge

I challenge all pager users to give up using their gadgets at least for one day per week!

I challenge my friends who use pagers frequently to turn them off once they come in my door to visit me.

I challenge all pager users to ignore all pages and emails during class times and meetings.

I challenge my friends' friendships on the way they use their pagers while talking to me. If I am being ignored in a conversation and a pager is more important than talking to me, get the fuck out of my face!

I challenge all pager users to TURN OFF their pagers when they are on a date! If you use your pager at all, your date will be TURNED OFF.

I challenge all pager users to set a good example of properly using the pagers and electronic devices!

I challenge all pager users to wisely use their pagers for emergencies.

Do you accept my challenge?
