In many cases, I have to wonder if the signs are more of a request than a rule?  They all sound so negative…

• No Smoking.
• No Skateboarding.
• No Biking.
• No Dogs on the Beach.
• No Shirt. No Shoes. No Service.
• We will gladly take your order when you put down your phone.
• No Cell Phone Use in the Doctor’s Office.

Even after the Myth Busters tested all kinds of ways a cell phone might cause harm, take down a plane, cause a malfunction of a mechanical device…they couldn’t 100% disprove (or bust) the myth…

So, in the end, while many of these signs might simply be more of a request, than an absolute down and dirty, dangerous practice…they are probably still a good idea to follow. At least, out of respect for the person who put up the sign in the first place.
