The kind of sh!t that pisses me off

[scorpio01169]

went to renew my magicjacks, because it's supposed to be 19.95 a year.....great price, wellthey hiked the price on us without telling us,

Yea next time they'll inform us of the price hike
it wouldnt be so bad if the commercial on tv still didnt advertise at 19.95 a year.

It was on the MJ interface almost every single day, half a month or so prior to the change? I even received emails in regards to this - how could you NOT know is what's more odd >_> Perhaps the hardware run has something to do with it, or it wasn't updating properly?

Dude that's fucked up I just saw a commercial like a week ago for that shit. "19.95 a year, just 19.95 a year!"

This. Fucking $100 a year, I would rather go with a phone company.

Something else to consider, I use my cell phone for my business, no issues at all, plus I can write it off as an expense on my taxes. I can't even think of a reason to have a land line any more.

^ I can! I fucking hate cell phones

thats why I still don't own one. If I want to talk to someone or someone wants to call me there's a 2 hour window when I'm home, otherwise ... catch up with ya tomorrow!

Man, I would hate to be you guys in an emergency. Or in a situation where you need to get to your e-mail and there is no computer available, or there is but it has no internet connection. Or need directions to get somewhere and have to write them down but !!! there is no pen and/or paper, or the person telling you sucks at directions, or they tell you the wrong directions. Or someone else needs to get a hold of you in an emergency. I could keep going but you get the idea.

I'm not saying it's such a ridiculous idea not having a cell phone, or that there is no way to survive without one because, obviously, human beings got along fine before they came along. But, personally, I could not stand to be stuck in early 90's as far as communication, etc. is concerned given what is possible with cell phones today.

Besides, you haven't really lived until you have had that nearly irresistible urge to throw your cell phone out of the car window. (I have actually done this and it feels GREAT... well, until you have to pony up for a new one, that is.)

 

[SocialNumb]

I'm just used to it.

No need to check emails. I haven't in months and when I do it's just not that important.

The BMW has a navigation system.

I always have sticky pads and pens around. (In the car, at home)

You know how we used to deal with emergency's? We didn't until we found out about them. Less stress over all.

Besides, everyone else has one if I really need it.

all other arguments aside ... this intrigued me

but! ... would the urge strike if there was never a cell phone in the car in the 1st place

we could be getting into deep territory here

replace "BMW" and I couldn't add anything more or better to this .. especially the bit about dealing with emergencies

but then there's this guilty pleasure, stress relieving phone throwing from the car thing ....

Oh of course not, I'll admit having a cell phone is definitely a double-edged sword. I just feel the pros outweigh the cons, by far. Now if we could just get more responsible cell phone users out there we'd be in business. E.g. people that "drive" (yes that's in quotes because it's not driving so much as it is a total fucking manifestation of a nightmare) and yak on their phone at the same time.

Well, lucky you. I get a lot of important e-mails almost daily and am not always near my/any computer with internet.

The BMW has a navigation system.

Every vehicle I am in has a navigation system (my iPhone).

I always have sticky pads and pens around. (In the car, at home)

I don't have to worry about re-stocking the notepad app on my phone, ever.

I'm able to deal with an emergency immediately, since, you know, it's an emergency after all.

EDIT: Perfect Example: Coincidentally, my younger sister literally just called me because she blew a tire and needs me to come put the spare on. At first thought, maybe bitches should learn how to do it themselves. But on second thought, she isn't even strong enough to get the lugs off. Sure a stranger could stop and help her. They could also kidnap, rape and murder her given the opportunity.

I win that one no question.

Besides, everyone else has one if I really need it.

Maybe, but I'm not the type of person to rely on something like that. I always have my cell phone if I need one.

All in jest, well sort of. I totally see your point though, and more power to you for being able to go without a cell in this day and age. Unfortunately the majority of the world, myself included, absolutely love the convenience.

Lucky she has that cell phone to fend off the murdering rapist.

Lol, hey, a phone has more potential to hurt someone if thrown than a post-it pad or pen
