Not turning it off at a garduation, are you kidding me? that is a very iimportant part of many peoples lives and they have to hear your phone ring becuase someone wants to talk to you probably about jack ****! is it honesty that hard to turn it off... do you think you are going to miss everything? I dont understand why you think you are better than everyone else? The chances of it screwing up the instruments on an airplane are very small, but why should you be the one to take a chance on everyones life on the plane.
As for the doctors office and everywhere like that, I dont understand why you cant just put your phone on viberate or silent mode, that way no one gets bothered and you still see who is calling you?

Airplanes, the cell is off, I'll talk when I'm back on terra firma.
Hospitals, it generally stays off and then I'll go to the waiting room to check msgs or outside to make calls.
There is call answer & text messaging, if something is important enough...meh, I just check it at intervals.

my phone is always on vibrate only, and i specifically wanted to disrespect my university and the extra year and a half of bull**** i had to go through because the one department head took a sabbatical and the other guy decided he didn't want to tell the dean that he approved a course change for me even though i had it in email. i actually got into 4 'discussions' on stage once i picked up my diploma and decided to leave right after... the final woman gave me the most ****.. i asked if she wanted a scene on stage or not.. she let me pass..... i wish i was talking on my phone at the same time.
there is no need to shut off a phone on planes.. it can interfere with stuff below.. the way i look at it, the other way around, they are interfering with my phone. if there was the slightest chance it could affect the flight, you think they'd let you take it on? You're not allowed a lighter or a pack of matches...

a *potential* hazard is telling the wrong person to turn their phone off because you worry about things to the nth degree.
as this old sexist guy i know would say "what are we, a bunch of women?"
