I made these fun videos with Intel from the results of a survey they had conducted by Harris Interactive (online survey with 2,160 participants 18 and older) on mobile manners. Let me know what you think of the videos and feel free to take Intel’s quiz and see what your mobile manners are :)

The results were quite interesting and not really surprising.. I mean honestly.. how many times have YOU been annoyed by one of these situations?!

Also, if you tweet any of these videos or have a mobile manners pet peeve of your own, feel free to tweet it and add the hash tag #mobilemanners
