They Don't Call 'Em Cell Phones For Nothing
I'm one of the last two people on Earth without a cell phone.
Everybody has to have one to keep in touch and be reachable. For what?
Are they staying accessible to the Lottery Commission call for the big jackpot? Donald Trump for the big job offer? The producers of Survivor for the next slot??
Then there's ringtones. As a home business owner, what's an appropriate ringtone? Classical music? Jazz? Would using the latest Snoop Doggy Dogg ringtone mean lost business? You can really lose a lot of sleep over this.
Isn't e-mail and a telephone (pre-historic cell phone, FYI)with an answering machine enough?? I've been in restrooms where I've heard those things chirping or beeping or boogie-ing down. They're usually answered too. They don't seem like the kind of background noises you could easily ignore, either. Then there's the vibrator-set ones that they don't answer...
Come to think of it, I run into that everywhere. Elevators, sidewalks, Contented smiles.
Whoa...the other person without a cell phone just got one.
How much longer can I last??
