this is funny stuff 
I'm on the other side of the fence, all I do is text/email.
All I ever do on the phone is say ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT, ALRIGHT just trying to get off the damn thing. just send a text and I will reply when I can and if not I'll see what you want. TAAADDAAA
You guys will soon be texters! Just like the people who said they wouldn't ever get a cell phone! |
Nobody calls me Lebowski. You got the wrong guy. I'm the Dude, man.

I use my cell phone as if it cost $10 per call. Why?
Because I'd rather wait and tell the person in person and REALLY enjoy the conversation. Think about it, if we all use our cell phones for every little bit of useless information exchanges, what do we have left to talk about when we meet face to face? Or when we get home?
Doesn't anyone enjoy when you get home and you are asked: "How was your day?"
Cell phones were a good invention up until they made them into portable PC/radio/MP3's. Then they turned into just another "idiot box" (as my parents used to call the TV.)

Me too. Never do it when I'm driving, but once we leave the office to go out on the road texting is the only way I can communicate with my co-workers. We all stop, go, get in the truck, get out of the truck etc. at different times; phone calls are impossible. I type a question when I have a second, they type the answer when they have a second. If I have something to say to all of them at once, I just check off a few more boxes instead of making 7 phone calls. Besides, the vigilantes are more than happy to tell everyone they know, or even call the office, about the carrier who always has the phone to their ear.  "No wonder stamps keep going up, why pretty soon they will cost as much as a can of soda cost fifteen years ago!"    |
