You misunderstood my use of the word “forget”. I didnt mean it should be understodd that it slipped their mind to do so. I meant that the idea of “Da lifnei Mi Ata Omed” is not on peoples mind. Because people “forget” where they are, they do these things. Do you belive someone would let loose with a loud tekiya into a tissue if he was lihavdil at a White House dinner? Why is it ok during davening? The same “forgetfulness” dictates that people are not aware that phones shold be off, emails can wait and that noses can be blown at ridiculous decibel levels.
