Your Relationship With Your Cell Phone

Yeah I guess talking on the phone would slow up the line.

So would looking at your boobies... just sayin.

Subway Sandwich shop in town banned cell phones while ordering food. My new favorite place.

I have a deep and meaningful relationship with my iPhone. I value it more than the lives of most people.

I finally had the pleasure of seeing one for the first time, I think it is smarter than me.

I must confess, I am a TOTAL iPod junkie.

I feel sorry for the person on the other end of the phone with me at 6 am. I am not a morning person by any means.

I use my cell as my primary phone. I don't carry a pager anymore, but I have to be reachable 24/7. I'm not a big phone talker though, and I cannot stand talking on the phone in a public place. I have the courtesy to step outside if the phone rings while in a restaurant, busy place, etc., and I always have the thing on vibrate because I hate it when I attract attention when the phone rings.

I don't even own one of those I have a generic MP3 player that I'm burning my CDs to, but I won't download. Honestly, I frigging hate most personal electronic devices. Shit, I don't even like my computer very much when it gets down to it.

My phone is my lifeline. I don't have a home phone so its the only way to get a hold of me.

I am the type of person that always answers my phone no matter what time. If I hear it ring or beep I will answer it.(with the expection of being in class or in a movie.)

I always have my phone with me at the gym. My phone(Treo) has excel,word,powerpoint etc on it. So I use it to log my workouts as well as keep my daily food intake log. This way I have no excuse not to write down what I'm eating cuz my spreadsheet is always with me.

Not to mention the fact that if I'm out doing something and someone calls me to do something more fun I can go do it.

I also have AIM on my phone.

What can I say... I like to be accessible.

I would say about the only thing I don't really use my phone for is Internet and thats cuz I get irritated about how slow it moves.

I barely talk but usually text a lot (over 1500 last month) and email too.

I'm not in to all of the newest tech. stuff, well, cell phones anyway. I actually have a $20.00 phone that I've had for 5 years now. I wrote the number on a self stick label and put it on the back of the phone so I would know what the number actually was. I use it MAYBE 1-2 times a month, as I have a phone at home as well as my office, so for me I guess it is just for emergencies.

I just don't feel the need to be out in public shouting into a phone about senseless things. I go to the gym and see a person there on a treadmill talking on their phone at 6:00am. Who in the F$*k can you be talking with that early and about what. It is the same person over and over and over and it's not just for 5 minutes mind you this carries on for almst an hour. I know because I walk in and warm up on the treadmill for 5 minutes and then workout. After an hour same place, same person, same thing.

I was standing in line at the post office the other day and there is a sign that is clear as day which states "Please refrain from cell phone usage when you approach the counter." Out of the four people in front of me in line 3 of them ignored the sign and carried on with their conversation like "stop the world please I am on a call, and yes I am important." The fourth wasn't on the phone.

I'm just wondering if any of you notice that society as a whole has grown to accept this? What is your relationship like with your cell phone?

Ive never been a chatty person on the phone (or IRL). Im horrible about answering my cell (no land line here) and Im even worse about returning calls. Id rather talk to everyone via email.

I cant stand being on my phone in public (i wont talk on the phone while strangers listen to me, it makes me uncomfortable) I also get embarrassed even when my phone rings and Im at the grocery store or somewhere other people can hear it. something about using a cell phone or having one ring in public that i find disturbing. im horrified if someone else has to hear my phone ring for an extended time before I am able to locate it in my purse to silence the damn ringer. I dont know, it causes me anxiety. I dont understand how people can be so comfortable with it.

And I run a call center.
