I don't get the attraction at all:
1. I use my phone when I need it, and I only want to answer it if it is someone I know or need. Why do cell phone users seem to be on them 24-7? What is so important that you just have to take that phone call right then and there? Have you ever had a phone call that if you had missed it your life would have changed forever? You couldn't call back in a little while?
2. Why do you need to answer the phone to tell someone you're walking down the street/your checking out at the cashier in a store/your waiting for the doctor. Does that person care so deeply they just have to know at that moment?
3. Many people tell me, "But the call could be important." So important you can't wait to go home? Exactly how important can it possibly be? When hubby was sick, I opted not to take my landline phone to my bedroom if "the call" came in the middle of the night. I didn't want to be woken up to be told he was dead. He'd be just as dead the next morning when I was braced to click that message on my machine. If they had to perform an emergency operation, (and they did), they already knew what I wanted, and could judge from that. Not like I was going to say, "No, he has to keep that big machine attached to him." "Of course he shouldn't be put on dialysis. Why would I want that just because his kidneys failed? "Of course he shouldn't get that surgery you've been planning for a month to save his life." I've had the phone calls that were that important. They know when I'll be home, (because they knew how long it would take me to get home after leaving him for the day), and tell me the problem. OR they waited for me to see him that day, so I could sign the papers.
4. Other emergencies: What if the car dies in the middle of rush hour during a blizzard? Experience. Every single person passing by me asked if I wanted them to call the cops. Cops came in five minutes, (Probably because they got a dozen phone calls. lol) What if you need a ride? Well, you're either home where you can use your landline, or you're at a store, office, or hospital where you can use theirs, or your at a friend's house, so you can use theirs.
I don't get cellphones. Many people on here are complaining that they can't see what they're writing on their cellphones. There already was an answer to that. It's called a keyboard! Why squint, when you can be writing on a large screen? Or why write everywhere every time?
And I'm scared to call someone on their cellphone, because usually they're driving their car. WHY ARE YOU ON A CELLPHONE WHEN YOU SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION TO THE ROAD?
So anyone want to try and make sense of the cellphone to me. It feels like we've gone from owning a phone to being owned by a phone. And frankly, I really don't care that you're so bored waiting for a cashier, because I'm not that bored that I want to hear about it!
