Cell Phone Use... (Joke)
Nov 27, 2015 17:31:32 #
I don't know about everyone else, but the indiscriminate use of cell phones can really irritate me. So when I saw this joke, I really cracked up! ................
After a tiring day, a commuter settled down in her seat and closed her eyes. As the train rolled out of the station, the guy sitting next to her pulled out his cell phone and started talking in a loud voice: "Hi sweetheart. It's Eric. I'm on the train".
"Yes, I know it's the six thirty and not the four thirty, but I had a long meeting". "No, honey, not with that blonde from the accounts office. It was with the boss".
"No sweetheart, you're the only one in my life".
"Yes, I'm sure, cross my heart"
Fifteen minutes later, he was still talking loudly.
When the young woman sitting next to him had enough, she leaned over and said into the phone,
"Eric, hang up the phone and come back to bed."
Eric doesn't use his cell phone in public any longer.

Perfect! There are a lot of people who seem to think I'm interested in listening to their conversation.

Frankly, I find it very rude for cellphone users to monopolize a room with their inane, trivial blatherings when in a situation like a waiting room, where other people may be trying to read a book they brought because they knew that they would have a long wait, or they may be trying to listen to the news on a TV that may be in the waiting room. Go outside or down the hall if you want to air your dirty laundry or arguments. We the People really don't want to know what you know, or think you know.

Amen! Sitting captive in a doctor's waiting room and hearing some fool talk about his/her dinner last night makes me want to stuff their cell phone up where the moon don' shine!

I always find this type of cell phone behavior irritating. 90% of all cell phone conversations are pointless drivel.

Did any of you watch any of Macy's Thanksgiving Day parade? In one shot of the street as the balloons came cruising by, no one was really watching the parade or cheering or holding their kids above the heads of the crowd. I laughed out loud because every person, EVERY person on the sidewalk had a cell phone pointed toward the street and were so involved with their phones that enjoyment of attending a parade went by the wayside in favor of phone time.
Makes me terribly happy NOT to own one of those things. There are times I just don't want to talk to people and these days, if you don't answer after one ring there's gotta be something wrong with you. My phone is still attached to the wall and at times, it takes me four rings to get to where it is .... I abhor technology, but I do remember when getting a private line (and not the party line where the nosy neighbor down the road could listen to your conversations with your mom) was the highlight of the year. Gads, doncha hate getting old??

Perfect. I've always thought it would be funny to have a fake phone call in a public place. You could talk to your stock broker and tell him to invest a million in this or a million in that. Or discuss which Ferrari to buy with the salesman. Just avoid anything that could get you beaten up or arrested.

some people are very concerned about what others think.. years ago i was on a public bus with the rest of us lower classes and listened to a mother loudly talk to her daughter about "having to leave the 'limo at home".. Never could figure that one out, to this day..

I spoke to someone once on my cell phone 3 0r 4 years ago. Did not care for it. I only bought the phone for the camera in it.
