Bloody cell phones

[chickenfeet]

{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}

It used to be that you would give a wide berth to the person walking down the street talking to someone who wasn't there because they were care in the community cases. Now it's because they're nattering into their mobile and weaving to and fro across the pavement not looking where they're going.
