Damn rat took my cell again

Be back later.  Have to go back to work.

Hah hah.  I knew this would happen.  I hate cellphones.  I don\'t own one, and I don\'t need one.  Some day all these lazy SOBs, the ones who walk around all day yapping into a cellphone, annoying me with their chatter, fumbling in their purse for the ringing phone, driving with a distracted glazed look while yammering on a cell phone, will keel over from brain cancer, and I will do a little superiority dance.

I got one this christmas but it\'s only for emergency use if I break down in the middle of nowhere in my motor.

I prefer to scream out of my window to call my neighbors.

I don\'t have a traditional land line, both me and my wife have cell phones only.  

What\'s lazy about having a phone you can carry around with you and use anywhere and everywhere?

I\'ll wait to see more widespread results like this before I think twice about my brain leaking.

Cellphones can contribute to lazyness if you use them to avoid planning ahead.  I constantly run into people who go shopping without knowing what they need to buy, drive somewhere without knowing where they\'re going, or try to fix something without knowing how to do it.  They use the cellphone to bail them out by calling someone else to guide them through the operation.  It drives me f**king crazy, expecially when I\'m the one they call.

So you hate people who are resourceful?

Holy shit. But there is a difference between the width of a rat and human skull.

Same here..  Mine is one of those ghetto prepaid cuz my parents refuse to sign for a cell phone for me.

To me resourcefulness means making use of limited resources to solve a difficult problem.  The people I described are known for ignoring abundant resources, and shifting the labor and responsibility to others in their life who are required to help them complete the simplest tasks imaginable.  This used to be a nation of self-sufficient individualists, but now we\'re becoming a bunch of helpless dimwits who can\'t be bothered to write a shopping list.

God forbid anyone should keep a map in their car, or even learn how to read a damn map, when they can just call so-and-so and get them to explain how to get somewhere.  If they get lost, well it must be because they got bad directions... :rolleyes: It can\'t be because they failed to plan how to get somewhere before entering their SUV.

Have to agree with Cored on this one. Cell phone\'s are for lazy people who think they are so cool. I personally hope, that it is proven that cellphones give brain cancer, that way we can rip them off of the market and I never have to hear another f**kin\' annoyin\' ringtone.

Thank you.

I have a cell but I\'m not crazy about it like the average teenager who has their digital camera, and downloaded hip hop ringtones, and screen savers, face plates, and flashing lights, etc.

This is it:



I\'m with T-Mobile and get 300 minutes a month, and unlimited weekends. I never use it to sit and have long conversations with, it\'s simply an easy way for me and others to get in contact briefly, and I rarely talk for over 10 minutes. On weekends however, I may talk longer.

But my point is that they are really convenient to have and are just one of the many new advancements in technology which make life just that much easier.

Does it make life easier or make people lazier?

I like when people go to order food at like Burger King and they are blabbin away and you are tryin to take their order and you cannot understand if they are talkin to you or the person on the phone..  
Then they get mad at you for not listening the first time...

I swear people who complain about cellphone "laziness" will change their minds after about a month of casually using one.  I use mine about every other day, it\'s gotten me out of some jams and just made life easier in general.

Who made the rule that phones have to be attached to a cord in order for the user to be classified as active?  In fact I bet people who use cell phones regularly get more done in a shorter amount of time.
