The issue is not one of content, but of context. How many
interviewing guidelines have you read that tell you to turn
your cellphone off during an interview? Well, the
"interview" begins when you pull your car into the driveway
of the prospective employer (and possibly even a few blocks
away; heard the story about the guy who gets cut off on the
way to an interview, gives the other driver the finger and some
colorful insults only to discover it's the interviewer?), and
it lasts until you are well off the premises. Employers
who hear you engaging in indiscreet and inappropriate
personal phone conversations in their lobbies may well
wonder under what equally indiscreet and inappropriate
circumstances you may engage in conversations that could
harm their companies by airing corporate dirty laundry or
proprietary business information where it ought not to be
heard.

Ok, now THAT puts even an ordinary "spat conversation" off-limits and
explains why the candidate wouldn't be hired even if he wasn't being
loud or offensive. Thanks, Gene.

And thanks to all the others who responded, too - though it may have
wound up off-topic (according to Jim).

Cheers,
Ed.
