Practically everyone uses a cell phone for business. Many of us use that cell phone badly. Once in a while, it's good to be reminded there are, in fact, rules of etiquette to help you from becoming "that jerk with a cell phone." What are some of the new deadly sins of cell phone use?

  • Butt dialing. This is the inadvertent dialing that happens when you sit on an active keypad.
  • Aisle blocking. When it's time to get off the airplane, don't stand in the aisle talking when you should be walking.
  • Bad phone hygiene. You shouldn't borrow a phone and sent it back with your makeup, bodily secretions, or other personal flotsam attached.
  • Appropriate headset use. There are times and places when a phone just shouldn't be used, even with a headset. Guys, if the room features a urinal, it's one of those places.

There are five more rules, and following one and all will help keep you on the good phone list for a long time to come.
