I Guess I Just Don't Like People.

I was working my way though several good cell phone rants, and then it hits me.
First: I watching all these people on the damn things. Walking out of the building. Driving into the parking lot. Sitting at lunch. All *goshdarn* day. Every *goshdarn* day. One thought seems to keep reverberating through my mind.
Who the *fudge* are you talking to??!!
I don't have a cell phone. Even if I did (I will get an iphone at some point, but I guarantee when I get it I will use it more to surf here than anything else.) I wouldn't want to talk to anybody. I talk to enough people as it is. When I did have one, I put about 4 minutes a month on it.
Karen: Will you pick Maddie up?
Mike: Yep.
Karen: See you at home?
Mike: Bye.
I mean what, am I gonna call my BFF at lunch to see what's going on? Call my long lost Uncle Earl to catch up on my drive home? I know! I'll try to be the 11th caller on KS95 to try to win Miley Cyrus tickets.
*fudge*! Don't talk to me. 'Cause I have no interest in talking to you.
*click*
I dunno. Maybe I'm actually more like Clive than anyone realized.

Welcome to my club. Your membership materials should be arriving shortly.
I use only a fraction of my minutes each month. I DO use the cell to catch up with my folks, as I've never been that good about calling regularly. If I'm driving a ways (highway trip) or walking the dogs around a park someplace where they don't need close supervision, I'll throw the headset on and chat with my mom or dad for a half-hour.
Other than that, *fudge* all y'all.

You should get a cell phone so that when your progeny grows up and becomes a teenager, you won't embarrass him/her.

Preach on brother. Checking the timer on my cell phone, I have 108:15:54 logged over the last two years. Unless I'm doing my math wrong (and I probably am) that means I average approximately 9 minutes per day on my phone. I use this phone for work and personal calls. I have a phone at my desk, but no land line at home. *fudge* talking on the phone.
My 17 year old sister in law came to visit over the weekend. I bet 10 whole minutes didn't pass the entire weekend without her talking on the phone or sending a text message.

If she actually spoke on the phone rather than text'd, she's kinda way out there on the edge, or else she's not really 17. Or a girl. I'd advise a chromosome smear if you can't convince her to drop trow for a brief peek. |

Good point, although, she may well have hers before I have mine. |

My average cell phone useage per month is about 2000 minutes +/-. I average another 2500 minutes or so on the phone from the office. By the of the day Friday, I do not answer another phone call unless it's my wife calling me - sometimes I avoid her calls as well. I live on the phone and email. While I hate the phone, I hate email worse  . |

I won't mom ... no mom ... no mom ... I will mom ... no, I don't want to talk to... hi dad ... no dad ... I'm not dad ... alright dad ... I won't dad ... no I don't want to talk to... hi again mom ... no mom ...." |
