For the modern age–really? I love the sentiments, but I really dislike the designs that show no originality at all, just an ability to copy a style that was originally popular more than fifty years ago. Give me something that will resonate with my students, not something that will make them think their parents are lecturing them again! These pictures just scream “Old people talking!”

Perhaps people could suggest when eating out that whoever checks their phone or reads a text is the one who picks up the bill for the entire group? The group might not agree to it, but at least it is a fun way to make a point.

Are you guys going to print these, or can we get higher resolution posters so we can print them out on our own?

I was in line at the post office a few weeks ago. The guy a few places in front of me made a phone call, talking loudly in an otherwise quiet room. I started playing along, speaking just as loudly in response to what the guy on the phone was saying.

Annoyed him, but the others in line thought it funny. The guy ended the phone call, giving me a “you win” look.

Thanks for these, guys! Cell phone usage has thrown conventional courtesy to the wayside in favor of convienience. I know many people who could heed this advice (not that I’m entirely innocent of being impersonal from time to time).

Could you please add one suggesting that people NOT talk on the phone in the bathroom?

These are great, they should be commissioned to appear on buses and trains.
I wrote a blog on similar issues –

Excellent work! I would like to hang these in every classroom in existence.
