5 Cell Phone Rules

Rule #5. The rule that I think should be at number 5 is to put your phone on vibrate or silent when in a theater or resturant. Having your phone go off in the middle of a movie is a buzzkill for other movie goers and having your phone constantly ring in a resturant will get annoying and may anger some customers.

Rule #4. Rule number 4 is texting or taking a call while talking face-to-face with someone else. This rule is important because it is very disrespectful to the person you are talking to and will anger them. This rule should be especially followed when talking to elders.

Rule #3. Rule number 3 is avoiding personal topics while speaking on the phone with people while in public. If someone overhears your conversation they may start spreading what they heard and that may not always be true.

Rule #2. The rule that comes in at number 2 is avoiding Facebook tagging. You must ask permission first before tagging your friends in a photo. This photo will be looked at by their friends and family and possibly future employer. This may cost someone a job.

Rule #1. Rule number 1 is hang up and drive. While talking and texting on your phone while driving increases your risk for accident by a lot. This will cause more accidents and you put your life and others lives in danger.

Toondoo ID theft

Sexton ID Theft

ID Theft Reflection

The thing that affected me the most about ID theft is the extremes that people will go to if they obtain your identity. The crooks will not only go to lengths to hide what they are buying, they will also buy as much as they can before getting caught. The thieves may rack up thousands of dollars of things bought in just a couple of hours.

To protect myself I will be careful with all of my personal items and documents. I will scrutinize all of my monthly bills and shred all personal documents no longer needed. I will cancel all accounts if I see that accounts are being tampered with or something is out of the ordinary.

Homecoming

Homecoming was a blast! For homecoming I went in a group of eight other people with my friends.

We went out to dinner before going to homecoming. We also saw a lot of people we knew at dinner.

 We then proceeded to the dance at the high school. The first thirty minutes were awkward but once the gym filled up it was party time. Everybody was jumping around or dancing to the music. There were slow dances, fast dances, and even songs that you just jumped around to. We danced into the night all the way until the dance was over and the clock struck eleven.

 My friends and I then went to my friend's house to play ping pong. We had a crazy night and the worst part about it was the next day.
