I Hate Cellphones!

Cellphones are a pestilence on modern life. They are a scourge on QUIETLY enjoying life. They are the bane of civility. As an instrument of bad behavior, they excel. Here are some examples.

Walking through the grocery store today, buying some fruit & a roast, some women is blabbing endlessly up & down the aisles. How often is a serious meeting interrupted by some nincompoop's cell phone going off? And how often is an otherwise enjoyable dinner out disturbed by some jerk or jerkette at a nearby table prattling away? And how many near-accidents occur because some dopey woman in an SUV is gossiping instead of driving?

Why do men wear them around like a symbol of their manhood? Tool-hood is more like it. A sign of importance - hardly, they are a sign you're on call by your masters: a badge of serfdom.

There is only one way to use a cell phone: turn it OFF! Carry it only for emergencies.

[OK, I admit one COULD carry one for business IFF expecting or needing to make an IMPORTANT call. ]

PS: [for fun] You do know that cellphones have a transponder in them? And that "they" can track you? How do you really know that it doesn't send a little "beep" out every few minutes EVEN when off? We saw the latest James Bond movie and Bond used the bad guy's cell phone to track him. Hmmmmm. I'm not going to carry a transponder on me. No way. ;-)
