Hello,
There was a law in Ancient (Feudal period) Japan where a Samurai could decapitate anybody they felt was "disturbing their wa" or upsetting their emotional equilibrium.
The Japanese of today are almost insanely polite because laws such as this culled the obnoxious cretins and their horrible behaviors from the blood line.
I sit in the hot tub at my apartment with 4 people, 3 of them are having loud conversations on their cell phones. I go into restaurants and get to listen to people discussing their bowel health on their cell phones. I walk around shopping for clothes and listen to some woman screaming at her children on her phone. I am in class or the library and 3 cell phones start ringing at top possible volume, and all I can think of is the police inspector in the movie Hannibal.
The problem is very similar to the psychology of somebody who is a road-rage-a-holic. They live in their own tiny little cone of silence (in their own head) thinking they are home and can behave any damn way they feel like behaving. Only the home they are in is going 60 miles an hour down the freeway or glued to their head in a public place.
Human beings have not had time for natural selection to weed out the ones with horrible manners who inflict their atrocious lack of social graces in the privacy of their own home non-soncensually on the rest of us.
As far as talking on the phone while using the restroom, the first time I was chatting with somebody and I heard tinkling and the toilet flushing I felt like changing my phone number and moving to where she could not find me.
Sadly, my Katana is currently in storage or I would probably look in to chlorinating the gene pool. :(
