Just read about this London firm who sacked a big part of his staff via a text message. Another good reason not to own a mobile phone! This wouldn't happen to me...
I hate phones in class. I confiscate them. Come and ask me at the end of class, if it happens more often, I might not give it back immediately. SMS is a big rage as well, you just know that whoever is setting leaning back a bit, quiet and staring at their legs is writing some message. Which is exactly the reason why they can't use cellphones for calculators either.
Discmans don't bother me as much. If they are working for themselves and nobody can hear the music, I allow them to do so. If I am explaining something, they should be stored away.
