Ah yes, a mobile line of communication is beneficial in unexpected ways.
It does provide me with brief minutes of hilarity to get me through the day.
1. Do not threaten, in a loud voice on your cell phone, to beat your child, and then proceed to do so. People will overhear you and call 911 on their cell phones to report you. The police will come and you will be arrested.
2. Call your S.O. to inquire on the spelling of your child's name. If you don't know, it's probably not your then, is it.
3. Do not reagle the world in general with tales of your sex life. I don't care and besides there are children present.
4. People have forgotten what a pen/pencil and paper are for. If you can't remember a simple shopping list without calling for help, how the hell do you expect to find your way home.
5. Those people who have the "hands free" headsets/ear clip-ons. Don't you wonder about all those strange looks you get as you walk around talking to nothing.
6. Wait until you get home to argue with your S.O. The government has classified this argument as "Need to Know" and I don't need to know.
7.One cell phone rings and four people search desperately for their phones, find them, but only one answers.
While there is a need for cell phones. It is very small compared to the number of self-important people who use them.
No, I don't have one. Not until I get a job that requires something other than a land-line.
Yes, I wish cell phone jammers were legal to own in the U.S.
I think there have been exactly 4 times when I really needed a cell and had to use a pay-phone.
But without cell phones we wouldn't have "Cellular Degeneration" by Sudden Death.
