Bloody cell phones
Aug. 28th, 2003 02:55 pm{rant}I just don't get cell phone users. Not all cell phone users of course. I even have one myself. I use it to make phone calls when I need to which is not very often as basically I don't like phones. What I don't get are the people who can't seem to live for more than a couple of minutes without using the damned thing. They are everywhere; buses, streetcars, pubs, the street, yapping at the tops of their voices either about bugger all or stuff that i really don't need to hear about. I mean if I was female I don't think I would choose to consult my gynaecologist on a crowded bus.
Then there are the eejits in cars. Even the bloody cell phone companies run propaganda about not using a handset while driving. OK, I know that sometimes the phone rings when you are in the car but, hey, thats what hands free sets are for. Its the compulsive car phoners who get me; the ones that try to plough through crossing pedestrians at intersections because they are too busy gabbling to notice there are people there or the woman I saw today pulling out of the car park while yakking on her phone. Surely she could have stayed put longer enough to finish her call?{/rant}
