Makes me wonder how we all survived before cell phones started
up. Most everyone these days are so addicted to them and many
that I see are talking, not texting or using the internet. Seems
now, so many people can't even leave the house for a few minutes
without talking to someone. I really don't get it.

When I go out anywhere, I'd carry the cell phone in the car just
for breakdown emergencies but only that. I keep it with me but
have it turned off.

Also very rude these days is when you are talking to someone in
person then their cell phone rings. Most times, they just have to
answer right away and put you (in person) on "hold." WTH? I've
never done that to someone. When I am talking to someone and a
call comes in, I ignore the phone. The caller can leave a
voicemail and I'll call them back in a bit.

These days, everyone acts like they are doctors on call and have
to answer immediately.
