The thing about people and their cellphones......
A little background on me. I have either had my own or had access to a cell phone since the mid eighties. Since my mom worked for the phone company most of my life she has always had a good deal on technology etc. So phones to me aren't a huge deal and I cherish time when people cannot get a hold of me. Maybe that is because I enjoy my alone time, or there are just some activities that I really don't need to share with people on the phone. ie. going to the bathroom,or working out. When I work out I use my ipod and turn it up pretty high so I don't hear the health club music, not that, that music isn't good, but I have certain songs that motivate me to get through 45 minutes on the elliptical machine and another 20 minutes on the rowing machine. I don't understand people who talk on their phones while working out. And I really don't understand why I can hear them over my headphones. What the fuck is that important that you need to be screaming into the phone four machines away and I can hear your conversation over my music? Does it bother anyone else that people act like complete assholes because they have a cellphone. Maybe it is because when I got mine it was only for emergencies and it kind of stuck. There are places that really bother me when people are on the phone, grocery stores, walking their dog or their child, in line, on exercise equipment. People walking with their kids in strollers, is it me or shouldn't you want to I don't know try to connect with your kid other than talking to someone about bullshit on the phone? No wonder people feel so disconnected they don't pay any attention to what is going on around them. I love to talk to my friends on the phone don't get me wrong but I don't need to cut into "my time" to do it, nor my daughters.
