Do you hate cell phones?

One of the comedians years ago used to joke about phones. He would say that he had an answering machine in his car with a message that said, "Sorry, I'm home right now. But if you call back later, maybe I'll be out."

He also used to say that he owned a helicopter but didn't have any place to park it. So he would tie it to a string and leave it running.

There are headset gadgets you can hook up to your cell phone that make it like a regular phone. They plug into the mic-earhphone jack. The headsets are like the old fashion phones. At least the cell phone isn't emitting the RF right up against your head.

i have a cell phone, and i don't have a home phone

i don't love it, but i really need it,
i find my cell phone very usefull, practical and economical

 

I hate cell phones! Your in the car listening to music, then a fucking phone goes off and you miss your favorite song because you have to turn it down.

 

I love my cell phone because my fiancee got it for me. I always hated them before, but whenever I use this one I feel so loved rather than annoyed.

 

there is exactly one and only one reason i would ever have one and that is if i worked somewhere that needed me to have one, AND THEY PROVIDED AND PAYED FOR IT.

i HAVE lived without contact with human society and found it greatly liberating.
if i had gotten injured or killed i would have gotten injured or killed.

belive me, i can live with that. especially if where i was ment anyone wanting to do that to me had to hike twenty miles to get there. then at least they'd have earned the privilage.

I agree. I hate ringing cell phones. I had mine on vibrate until my fiancee got mad that I never answered. I found a ring that is not too jaring...so now I don't mind keeping it on.

 

I am newly phoneless. Mine was lost or stolen a couple of days ago. I don't have a home phone but all of my close friends and some acquaintances know where I live.

Yesterday was the first time in my life that I actually wished for a cellphone. A guy I know, but whose company I don't really enjoy, called around to my house to invite me to dinner. He sort of caught me unawares and I answered truthfully that I had nothing planned. The result was a boring night listening to him waffle on about the benefits of prostitution, his idea being that every girl in Thailand is for sale and numerous other equally insulting and derogatory topics.

If only I'd had a phone, he would've called first and I could have had time to think of an excuse to avoid such a shitty night. Or while I was out, I could have had a friend call me with some story excusing me.

 

Ever wonder what it is about a ringing phone that invokes such an intense response in many people? It's like no other stimulus. People will interrupt just about anything for the sake of answering a phone. No one acts that intense for other things, such as a doorbell, someone calling their name, etc.

I need both types of phones. The cell phone for when I go somewhere, and the home phone at home.

 

you really gave me some great info to use! thanks~!

 

thats a really good point. it sucks to have to have an excuse. because everyone can get a hold of you ANY time!

 

if Im talkin on my phone for hours, I can easily plug my phone in to a charger and still talk........ but I would be limited on how far I could walk or get away from one spot.....

cellphones are good because it doesnt cost anything for long distance........ land lines charge you for long distance and so many minutes you call out for long distance.....

I dont use a land phone line anymore, because it was way too expensive. I got a cheap plan because I dont use the phone a whole lot....... I dont use more than 200 minutes, and I usually only talk on the phone late at night.......

cellphones are perfect for me.

land phones are not....... you can easily be traced. your phone number would be in the local yellow pages....... cellphones, your number isnt...... so you have privacy.

and also, you dont get telemarketers as much on a cell phone as you do with a land line.

 

Hate them...

Especially When Some Nut Case Calls me up at 1am!!!!!!

When I am in Bed!!!!!!

You know who you are TWAT!

 

With some services it's possible to get the internet for free using the cell phone as a wireless modem. The bandwidth is slow but it's still something. The electronics geeks are good at doing that stuff. There are a few cases where it's easy to hack the phone.

Other than running out of charge and the fact that they get hot, I like them way better.

Convenience, when you move you don't have to get the phone hooked up again. you don't have to go home to wait for a call or something.

then again, I am a cool person with a vibrant life, if I was some loser who was always at home I would probably not see an advantage

if you don't want to talk on the phone or answer then just stop being such a little pussy and don't answer it

 

i finally got rid of mine. fucking nightmare that thing was. never held a charge, i could never remember to carry it and dave would get pissed. i only had it because he bought himself a fancy new one and couldn't cancel the contract. i'm just not a cell phone person.

 

btw, i'm the loser always at home. *sigh*

 

i just hate those god-forsaken teenagers who have cell phones attached to their ears and/or fingers at ALL times!
ESPECIALLY when they are "hanging out" with one of their friends!
it's so rude.
grrr.

 

I don't own a cell phone. I have no plans to either...
