Even though it is the only phone I have and I do have to use it quite a bit for work, I try really hard to not be on my cell phone when it can bother other people. I find it rude and inconsiderate--not to mention pretty ridiculous--when people find it necessary to have inane conversations in stores or anywhere around other people. Waiting for the flight from Denver tonight, a young woman sitting next to Andy made 11 separate calls trying to find out if the person picking her up had left for the airport yet. Two voicemail messages were closely followed by calls to various people to find out if "Trixy" or whatever her name was had left for the airport, followed by long discussions about how "scared" she was that Trixy wouldn't be at the airport. If you have to make 11 different calls to find out if someone who has obviously promised to pick you up is actually going to do so, you have obviously asked the wrong person. Then once Trixy was actually located--and was verified to indeed be on her way, there were 7 more calls to presumably everyone she talked to during the first round to assure them that she was indeed going to be picked up.
I do not make loud, ridiculous calls at any time, much less around strangers. I have not now, nor will I ever, start every phrase or thought with "like...." I have the sense to ask favors of dependable people. AND IT'S MY CELL PHONE THAT HAS DECIDED IT IS NOW ON LIFE SUPPORT!!!!!
The universe is just not fair.......
