Seconded.. My behavior exactly!

Fair Enough.. Thanks
It may sound silly, but there are some practical reasons to do that.
Such as? (I'm really curious)
Do you ask them to rekey your office door and the building access to match the doors at home?
I thought not.. you carry one key for home, and one key for work.
If they wanted me to buy my own lock then I would
The point here is your employer cannot demand to control your property. You want to control something you pay for it.
Whether or not I will agree to carry a second phone is orthogonal. I might if my job required it but not if it was just for being able to work off hours. But again, that's beside the point.
You shouldn't trust your own network to begin with. How do you make sure no-one plugs in whatever they want?
Managed switches.
No unauthorised devices get plugged in. Every device has to authenticate with the switch (so not simply MAC address blocking).
From the fine summary:
Because you own the device, you have certain rights to what is on the device and what you can do with the device.
Yeah right, feck off.
When you BYOD onto my network, we control it, we can wipe it, we can install and uninstall apps and if you dont agree to our terms, dont bother complaining that you cant BYOD. BYOD is not open slather, if you want to bring your own device, fine, we welcome that but you will be registering it with our MDM (Mobile Device Management) system before you're even so much as able to put mail on there, that means our policies get enforced on your device (and your administrative privileges for that device get taken away). Sorry, but this part isn't negotiable.
Well, if it was my choice to B[M]YOD, I'd let IT get admin privileges on my devices. But if its at the company's insistence, then hell no!
Here's the deal:
- I can do off-hours work if I get email on my phone.
- I won't carry a second phone for work
- I am willing to add my work email on my phone PROVIDED:
-- I am not required to register my device for monitoring
-- I and ONLY I have admin rights on my phone
-- No remote monitoring of my phone allowed
I will, however, agree to follow policy like setting a passcode, time-out locking, enable find-my-phone and remote wipe (which I will control).

Banning texting in cars makes no sense if the "texter" is not the "driver".
Maybe you'll like the following "insightful" comments:
Fire is hot.
Not if you compare it to something like the sun
Ice is cold.
Not on Neptune
Falling off the top of a tall building without a parachute (etc.) is a virtual guarantee of a lousy day.
Not on a planet with extremely low gravity. What? You don't think such planets have buildings?
Sex is fun! Well... good sex is anyway.
Well, you qualified this yourself.
Rap sounds like shit.
Agreed.
Taking a piss into an energized electrical socket is kinda like falling off the top of a tall building without a parachute.
I would never have known. Thanks!

And they need to clarify the situation where you are outside the car but leaning on it while you are texting.
to be fair, leaning on a car can hardly be called "in a car".. unless, of course, you're leaning on a toy car while riding in a car. In that case, I agree, texting should be allowed.
