As other posters have said, just leave the damn room to take a call. But seriously, are you so incredibly important that you cannot spend 60 minutes listening to a lecture? This generation (and yes I know that includes me) seem to have an incredibly inflated sense of self-worth, as if they're the centre of the universe. It's like those idiots who can't stop texting in the damn movie. The world will keep spinning if you don't answer that tweet for an hour - trust me. I had this exact same argument with a friend last week when we went to a three-hatted restaurant, and she insisted she needed to check her phone every few minutes, because apparently people would "panic" if they couldn't get in touch with her via chat. Surely if you're paying $200 for a dinner, you can at least enjoy the dinner and company around you without needing to tweet every 5 minutes.
