I'm sick of people calling me all the time

[Dick Sirloin]

Seriously, what did we do before cell phones? Did we just never talk to one another? How did plans ever get made? How did people stay in touch? How could life exist for me if I couldn't be reached ANY TIME ANY WHERE

Fuckin hate this thing... want to smash

 

[Dick Sirloin]

They just want to be around me for my looks

i laugh at people that spend over $100 on a cell phone.

now im seeing people walk around with that wireless thing on their ear. dumb.

i have a $60 cell phone on a minutes plan. It's left on vibrate. I use it for emergency contacts and important stuff. And to send text messages once in a while.

Yeah I miss the good ol' days when we all would sit around the fireplace and watch our stocktickers while waiting for the next move to be made in a game of chess played via pony express mail correspondence.

So your problem is your friends call your cellphone just to bullshit chat? or they call you to do stuff?

and when people actually paid attention while driving instead of trying to have phone sex on a cell whilst speeding down the expressway

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

yeah, cell phones are great tools, but are waaaaay overused.

I set my cellphone to mute when I don't want to be bothered. The world will keep turning without me (picking up).

 

[Dick Sirloin]

A lot of plans are and can be made through text messaging; it's a lot easier and less obtrusive... Friends can be annoying, but parents/family members are the WORST when it comes to my cell phone.

I just hate the idea in general, and I shouldn't be expected to be "on call" 24-fucking-7, by anyone

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

then don't be. I use the cellphone when I can't find a buddy's place/place i'm meeting him, or to say I can't make it somewhere,etc. Thats it. If its not important... then text me or email me. MSN is for bullshitting.

 

[lurch70]

text messaging is even more fucking stupid ... who the fuck has time to type shit into their phones?

just give me a call for a minute moron

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I do, because it takes a few seconds and it doesn't matter where I am or what i'm doing, you aren't going to disturb me.

Text messaging is HUGE in this country and has been for what seems like years and years now. I think it's because the English don't like actually having to speak to each other.

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

it's because I don't want to broadcast my conversation to the 20 other people on the bus, and I don't want to struggle to here the person i'm talking to over the roar of the bus engine and the loud babbling of the 12 chinese people yelling at each other. and I can keep my music on. and if they aren't around, i can still leave the message to make my point.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

Everyone hates his/her cellphone but also he/she takes it everywhere with him/her and keeps it open 24 hours per day. Either throw it away or stop whining seriously.

 

[Dick Sirloin]

You should be paid for these nuggets of wisdom

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

I love my cellphone because I never get called on it unless it's ACTUALLY important and its a very useful tool for a lot of things.

 

[IOfTheStorm]

I know

 

[Conspicuously Absent]

do you? or are you being a skeptical know-it all like usual?
