I don't own a cell phone.

I don't own one and I don't want to.

Is that weird?

So many of my friends are showing me their phone that plays movies and music and travels through time or whatever and I just don't care.


Whats going on here?

I'm I just getting old?

 

dude...a phone that travels through time doesn't appeal to you?
what the fuck seems to be the only reasonable answer to that
i know you're kidding but dude..serious a phone that can time travel...i'd be so all over that

 

I am a traveler of both time and space...love me now or forever hold my piece

 

I don't think it is wierd at all. I've never had a cell phone and don't want/need one for anything. But if I found a time traveling one, I would buy it.

 

Cellphones are for insecure people who want to be contacted by other people at all possible times.
And for people who think they are so important that they have to be available always.

 

i aggree with both of you and don't own one either.
the last thing in hell i would want is to be always pesterable.
i don't even have a conventional phone with it's ringer connectied in any room i choose to spend any signifigant amount of time.

if people want to get ahold of me they can send an e-mail or leave a message on my wife's voice mail. (which is what picks up the phone after four rings anytime she isn't in the room, HER sowing/workroom, where the only phone in the house with a ringer is, doing so herself).

i absolutely refuse to be pavelov's dog, and being social is not the most interesting thing that i am most interested in doing in and with my life.

Ah well... I do own one, my mon owns one and we talk a lot on it. My dad, however, own one, but hardly ever uses it, he keeps it closed most of the time, and a colleague of work once told him to get a toy phone, as anyway it will do the same job...

 

i have one for "just in case" which really annoys my husband since it's never on.

 

I don't have one. If I'm unavailable it's because I want it that way.

 

I didn't want to have a cellphone until I bought one "just in case" and then I realized how it makes my life easier...

You people wanting to be unavailable are actually selfish, what if someone really needs you?...

 

everyone needs to be a little selfish. fuckers never stop calling my husband when we're trying to spend time together, so who's selfish?

 

That is ridiculous. If I am so far away that you need to contact me by cellphone, it would make more sense to call someone else.

I don't have a cellphone, BTW.

 

i've had my cell phone for a few years now, it's still for "just in case." usually i'm here with my kids or at my daughter's shool. there's never been anyone who needed to get a hold of my so badly they couldn't wait til i got home or to my daughter's school.

 

Ehh... I like... have friends... and shit...so... I like... need a cellphone.

 

i despise listening to other people's conversations when i'm out. i despise people listening to my conversations when i'm out. i like privacy when i talk, and i don't want to know much about your friends and who they sleep with or whether or not someone thinks you're hot. don't care. and then there's the bastards driving and wreaking havoc on the phone. i know they probably think they're really good at driving while on the phone, but it's just fucking aggravating. why would i pay so much to talk on a cell phone when it can wait until i get home or get online? it's just some stupid status thing: look how many friends i have!! look how indespensible i am to my friends!! and it cuts you off from the people in your immediate vicinity.

 

I don't own one anymore. I did for a while, but rarely ever used it, always forgot to turn it on, so nobody could get hold of me with it anyway. So I decided the heck with it, I can manage just fine without one. Besides, if I really need a cell phone while I'm out and about, I can use my husband's work cell.

 

The only reason I would want one is so I could walk around Walmart, talking loudly on it and pretending to make million dollar deals...

That way, everyone would know how important I am.

 

hahaha, kitten, that's funny. I own two cellphones, a Razr that's been shut off for about a year and a half now, and a Virgin Mobile phone that I have for emergencies, but I never charge the battery, rendering it useless.

 

I have a cellphone because I don't have a landline and it seems stupid to have both. Everything you say here is right on. Oblivious drivers yakking on their phone and not paying attention makes me want ram their car so I can take that phone and shove it up their ass to ask, "Can you hear me now?" Then there's Mr. THIS IS MY OUTSIDE VOICE talking behind me in the bankline to his fellow high-rolling buttbuddy. Only thing worse is the walkie-talkie phones forcing both sides of the conversation on everyone else.

 

i have one, cause my parents are ......ocd maybe would be a pc term....
i think my dad smoked too much pot in the 60s....
this morning i woke up to find he has gotten so mad at the neighbouring city that he is going to banish it...how can you be so mad at a city??? a fucking city? ... now i have to find a ride to work....
