You and your iPod are just rude
By NAHAL TOOSI, Associated Press

The "Podheads'' are everywhere . . . in the mall, at the beach, in Starbucks. As the iPod phenomenon has grown (more than 50-million sold), we need to lay down the etiquette rules. * Take both earbuds off when we're having a conversation. This is about as basic as it gets. Paying partial attention to someone who's talking to you is about as good as paying no attention at all. * If people are tapping their feet along to your music, IT'S TOO LOUD! You are annoying other people while you are going deaf. * Watch where you're going. You might not hear the honking of the car before it hits you. * Don't sing along, but do dance. The first is annoying. The second is entertaining - for the rest of us, that is.
