"deepsIush " wrote:People who are always playing with their cell phones, I don’t get it. I was at the theatre in the back row and this guy and his girlfriend came to sit by me. They left a buffer in the middle, but still. He had his cell phone out continuousaly checking it and then it started making alot of noise. The two girls in front of me were conversing back and forth about it, so I decided to stand up and do something. I stood up and looked him straight in the eye. Immediately he was like a deer in headlights. I took my empty cup of ice and started shaking it in his face and saying Do You Want Some Ice Man! To Make Noise With! He said naw uunt uh, and I did not hear a peep for the rest of the movie or see any of his lights flashing. After the show, the two girls were waiting outside and they waited til I came by to start walking. They started walking then talking, saying "I know that was annoying" and they told me thank you for getting him quiet and that is made them crack up. I looked at one of em and said You’re welcome.
Oh yeah, and there’s these people who knew me and my parents were so bad that I’d live at home forever. Well, they built me a house so I could escape! It’s quite an insult when people prepared and knew that I would be living home at 30. Do the best I can!
Yeah right.
I use my cell phone a lot, but not for calls/texts. I have my calender in there, and daily reminders- so I have to regularly update it, etc. But I would NEVER do it DURING A MOVIE, or WHILE IN LINE or even AT THE CHECKOUT. I mean… seriously.
I will do it on the bus though, I have no problem with that, though I won’t actually speak on the phone while on the bus, unless it’s actually an emergency, etc. The one time I used the phone on the local bus, my sister called (I hadnt heard from her in over 1 and 1/2 months, and there was reason to be concerned that she was OK, plus I had had a major car accident in the meantime, so she was obviously concerned about me). I answered the phone, and proceeded to tell her that I was OK (quietily), that the car was totalled, was in a lot of pain, etc. BUT, the woman half a bus in front of me starting SCREAMING get off the f**%ing phone I DONT CARE IF YOU ALMOST F*&cking DIED get off the phone!’ (pretty much to that effect, including the swearing).
Mind you, it was day time- no one sleeps on that bus- and I was being ultra QUIET. She was screaming her heart out. Im sure the only person bothered by me was her (a lot of people use the cell on that bus), but Im fairly certain everyone was bothered by HER.
Then again, a lot of crazies take this bus. As you’ve read from me before.

It’s the cool thing to have for most people I think, a cell phone. I watched a show called Modern Marvels today and it was about phones. There’s something like 200 million cell phone users. I think I got that quote right, had to post false information. It seems like alot. There’s a whole industry devoted to refurbishing old cell phones. I used a Tough Talker back in the late 90’s a few times, and a friend of mine was very into his "Brick" cell phone around the same time. You know, the HUGE first one from the 80’s. I think he liked it for the novelty value. Interestingly, there is some debate whether or not a man invented the telephone. A woman had the patent before, but the patent official was bribed by the Alexander Graham Bell company for 200 dollars to change the order in which they were patented. Her name was Gray.I think it’s ok if people wanna use the phone out in public, on the bus or wherever. I don’t know why the woman on the bus would flip out at you like that. I had a right since we were in a movie theatre and it was pretty annoying. I didn’t do it to be mean to the guy, I did it to be funny.
It just seems incredibly shocking that this many people have lives and friends to call.
Eh, if we’ve learned anything from a Stephen King novel, it’s this:
Cell phones will be the death of us. Bring on the flesh eating zombies, bitch!

What King movie is that from?
Not a movie yet, it was from his 2nd to last book. It will be a movie soon though, by the guy who directed Hostel. It’s called CELL by the way. It actually takes place in Boston mostly. Not in Maine? Theres a first!
Speaking of phones, b/c of the new laws concerning wiretapping without a warrant, etc… my grandmother has an excellent habit of speaking to "Mr. Bush" and asking how his day was, before having any sort of conversation with me. It’s the ‘polite thing to do’ she says. She will occasionally say hello to "Mr Cheney’ as well.

And word up to your grandmother.True, all roads lead to Maine.
