American cell phone etiquette is changing for the better, except for the one place where you really don't want to hear from me.

Rick Klau decries the rising cacophony of cell phone use in airport bathrooms.

Can You Hear Me Now?
I've flown close to 100,000 miles this year, and am alarmed at a trend that I've witnessed in dozens of airports: men talking on cell phones while in the bathroom. Do women do this too?
It's bad enough that you have to hear their conversation echoing throughout the walls of the bathroom - but I can just imagine the poor folks on the other end. Surely they're catching at least part of the cacaphony surrounding the caller? [...] [tins ::: Rick Klau's weblog]

Now a study, conducted by Wirthlin Worldwide, has found that the percentage of American cell phone users who think it's appropriate to talk on a cell phone in the bathroom has risen from 39 percent in 2000 to 47 percent in 2002. Thankfully, they seem to find cell use less acceptable everywhere else.
