gimme my key bitch!
I'm really paranoid, so i always make sure to check the caller ID and stuff. When I walk in the night I generally have like hallucinations(is that spelled right?) and will think I see a huge cat when its a cardbox blah blah blah and people have seen me walking around town looking all edgy and turning my back around adn stuff. It's pretty silly.Crimson Velvet said:

I don't answer the phone unless I know who is calling me and I want to talk to the person. There are maybe two or three people that I enjoy talking to on the phone. The rest, meh. Email me and we fix a date to talk face to face.
There are anti-social days when I don't pick up the phone at all. I hate being available to everyone 24/7. I enjoy to be out of reach, so much it often gets people worried.

I can relate to a lot of stuff in this thread...
I hate phones, I hate calling people and being called. I don't mind short conversations like "dude, where the fuck are you? " after arranging to meet somewhere via email/msn/text msgs but long conversations? I've met 1 person who I enjoyed that with. Otherwise, it's like torture.
Email and MSN are the best ways to get ahold of me, i check them a lot and will actually reply/converse. Most conversations on the phone, i sound like a caveman "mmm." "mmm." "yuh."

Whereas a telephone can be seen as an invasion of your own personal privacy at times, cellphones are an invasion of EVERYONE'S privacy.
Libraries, Schools, and just the world in general must have been such a wonderful place before cellphones.
Do you ever find youself walking by yourself outside or around campus/town sometimes and hear someone behind you call out "hello!" when there's nothing else around and so you instinctively turn around because since there's absolutely no one else around you look and this jackass has just started jabbering on a cellphone? What about those people who talk on their cellphones at every moment outside of their homes? Jabbering at the bus stop on their cellphones, get onto the bus and jabber-jabber the whole ride until they get off and they're still jabber-jabbering as they get off and go walking down the street to whichever Burger King they work at. Don't these people have anything better to do? And Schools! what the crap? Does anyone who has a cellphone have any idea how annoying it is when it goes off in the middle of a lecture?
Gah!
Fuck cellphones.
Fuck telephones in general.

ugh cellphones. Mine is for emergency contact or to double check something real quick, not as a telephone that I can always here.
I have one, it's always on (mostly to receive text messages), and is always on vibrate. And yes m00se, I hate that too. With the amount those people talk on their cellphone, no wonder they complain about workload and studying, they ever shut the fuck up to do any work.

Remember
I get so nervous talking to people (even friends and family) on the phone that i can hardly think, never mind get my thoughts out to the person on the other end of the line! i'm getting better at it, but let me tell you, i'm so glad my girlfriend moved in here, now i never have to call anyone!

I am resolved to NEVER own a cellphone.
I don't even ever use the internet at school or while I'm out (unless it's look up something in the library database, which is online). Any kind of electronic communication I do is reserved for the times where I let it be open to me. I refuse to let it force me to be open to it at all times.

Fuck cellphones. I never owned one, never will. I know people who spend over a hundred bucks a month on this stupid little device. More than half of the charges stem from receiving text messaging. I for one am a person who likes to be left the fuck alone. I don't need some 24-7 apparatus making myself reachable to any tom dick and harry who wishes to call me on a whim. And why should I be taking money out of my own wallet to convenience others? If I'm on the street and need to speak to someone urgently, I'll use a damn payphone. 30 cents and I'm done.

I don't get telemarketers too often, and when they do I have fun with them.
If it's a survey, I fuck with statistics.
If they're trying to sell me something I do awkward stuff, or play them some NSBM.
and sometimes I just hang up the phone the second they start talking if I'm not feeling particularly creative that day.

At least if people contact you there is a choice as to whether you socialise or not, I'm happier telling people 'not today thanks' every now and then than I would be if I wanted to go out and couldn't because I've shut myself away and everyone thinks I'm dead.
Phones are perfectly OK as far as I'm concerned, at least they're a kind of direct contact, MSN on the other hand is something I've never been able to see the attraction of.

I fucking hate cell phones. I carry one for emergencies and like Andrew said, to make plans and double check stuff. There's only one person who I can talk to on the phone for more than 10 minutes (sometimes like two hours, even) and I'd like to keep it that way. If you want to talk to me for extended hours, why don't you fucking leave your house and do it to my face kthx

A family member got a cell phone for me to use in case of emergency. It's actually a convenient little device and the only reason I hate cell phones is because they are so COMPLETELY ABUSED by the entire populace who spend hour upon hour on the phone. No one I don't want to have my number does and I almost never receive a call unless my family needs to reach me, which is a good thing. It's actually really nice to have in case you need to make a call and you can put it on vibrate or turn it off at any time you're not using it. The only reason I have one though is because it's free, otherwise I would most certainly not waste a penny on it.
The problem isn't the phone itself, just the fact that 90% of people in the world are DUMB AS FUCK.
