I NEVER go anywhere with my ringer on. Unless it's some long road trip. I can't stand people in public that have their phone set on what sounds like loud as hell in the middle of something. No one cares that you are getting a phone call. It's just a peeve of mine. It's not a knock on you.
So I don't want my phone to vibrate and ring at pretty much anytime. Either completely vibrate for everything or completely ring for everything (except at night, then I don't want to hear some Twitter update at 3am).
I didn't take it as a knock. Just giving my two cents on how I do things. Like I said, I turn it down when in certain places. When I am in a waiting room, for example, I DO use JUST vibrate. Movie theater, SILENT.
I feel like cell phones are commonplace enough [both my parents who're around 60 and semi-retired as well as my sister who's got some mental disabilities from epilepsy and brain surgery text me...], that a majority of people just ignore someone else's phone going off in public, depending on the location, but I do my best to be considerate of others.
Plus, I like to utilize the ability to set custom tones for certain people so I know who's calling without taking the phone from my pocket. As well, I keep the phone in the pouch that they gave me when I bought it, and more often than not, hit the volume key before removing the pouch from my pocket, so my pocket muffles the entire ring quite a bit AND it doesn't ring for long.
Now, when you're like my cousin and have a ridiculously long notification sound for texts, that annoys me. You just need something short like a beep or two [I still use the DROID sound...]
