If I see one more yuppie with a cellphon e.........

“I didn't mean that the wireless division was paying your cell bill. You were making a living from these companies. Just cause you can't read English doesn't mean I'm making stuff up. poopoo you? I love you man...TO POOP ON!!!

I keed! I keed!

One thing I'd like to see is that when I call Sprint information I could get an English speaking American rather than some East Indean phucker that doesn't even speak remedial English.”

“If you want to take away my cellphone, you'll have to pry it out of my cold, dead hands!”

“i wondered if maybe thats what you meant. but i decided not to give you the benefit of the doubt.

i love deadbeat customers. they kept me employed.

and please, buy all the cellphones you want. just know that you look silly as hell when youre talking on them in the grocery store. and that person at the other end probably wishes you just would have taken the time to write a grocery list.”

“No way man! I'm way cooler than that. I have the earpiece and have the phone in my pocket so it looks like I'm talking to myself.”

“I'll put up with looking silly if it means not having to go back out onto the streets and risk death at the hands of the morons who drive cars in this city, just to get a #&%!$ing loaf of bread.”

“that makes me think of the commercial:

young executive: "you know, i think youre really beautiful"

homely assistant: "ive always been attracted to you too"

young executive (into mouthpiece) "hold on babe" (to asst) "excuse me?"”

“to lazy to check the kitchen cabinets??! Give me a fricken break. Try raising a family and taking care of a home before making that assumption. Have you ever tried planning meals for a family for the next week. Lives are a lot more hectic than they were when my mother checked the kitchen cabinets. In my rush, I may have forgotten to check the cereal cabinet and want to make that quick call to my son to ask if he needs cheerios. Try not to focus on the things that really don't matter. Type A personality?”

“simmer down, ivy. this is all meant to be tongue-in-cheek”

“it better be buster :-) My apologies.”

“But...I hate it when you're talking to someone face to face and then their cell phone rings and they answer the friggin thing.

At work, my $#^&@ boss will be conducting a meeting and his cell phone will ring. He will actually STOP the meeting and proceed to sit there and have a personal conversation while the rest of us sit there and dream about punching him in the nose.

99% of the time when I'm speaking with someone face to face and my cell phone rings, I just hit the ignore button and continue the conversation.

:p”

“Fortunately I am so unpopular that my cellphone rarely rings....lol...”

“actually ivy, quite the opposite. when you look up type b personality, slacker, and underachiever in the dictionary, youll see my picture. of course, i didnt send it in, they had to come get it from me. and im not typing this, im dictating it to be typed for me.”

“Yuppies?
"I guess the people using food stamps and cell phones at the same time are ok?

I have seen them do it."

What the hell's wrong with that?

Quite a few urban poor have cell phones.

Are they only for the upper class like bacpac?

Having a cell phone keeps your friends and family from using your "land line" phone while you're not home and running up the bill.

A common problem among the urban working class has been unpaid phone bills and resulting disconnects by the phone company.

If its in your pocket your homies can't run up your phone bill........DUH!!!!!”

“I won't get a cell phone, but I got my wife one. I told her when she got it, "Don't be that girl," meaning chatting for no reason in public.

I picked the phone up the other day to use is it and she has her name programed into the phone as "That Girl" !! Groaaan!”

“I just picked up a new phone over the weekend. I sign up under one account and charge up the minutes. One month I used 89,041 minutes. Sometimes while driving, I have 2 phones going at once! Got to stay connected and look cool at the same time.






Right, actually I just downgraded to the lowest minute package I could and still keep the phone. I have not used my cell phone in 3 months. I have it just in case. When I see someone on the phone, driving slow, I pull in front of them and go even slower.”

“and you pee on doorknobs. man youre vicious”

“60 plus posts regarding cell phones? How the heII did I get so old without one? Just one more thing to loose.

"Hello, Wifey Poo? I'm here, then I'm going to go there. See you! bye." I think I can get by without.

Gimme a *$^^ing break. They p me off too. My employer existed for 50 years without them, now we pay well into 6 digits a year for the dang things. Does life really need to go this fast?


Damn, see what you started!”

“"oes life really need to go this fast?"

EXACTLY!”

“You had to bring that up.”

“I really enjoy see people try to use their cell phones up in the ADK's. The best is that look of utter confusion when the phone doesn't work. In the High Peaks area the closest towers are in Vermont.”

“I thought of this thread today while I was at work. We have a wall phone available for patient use that is near my desk but not close enough to stretch over. I had this man sit down today with the cord stretched all the way over to my desk and continued to talk to him with his cell phone up to the other ear talking to whoever was that phone and at the same time was trying to check out with me. I wanted to be just say look man I can't carry my business on with you while you are talking on 2 different phones. It was so annoying!”

“If you want the cellphone just for emergencies, you don't need ANY minutes or contract. Even old cellphones will call 911, contract or not. The rest of us, pay a monthly fee for that service. It does assist the poor & battered. Gotta keep it charged though and/or alternate power source.”

“Can you hear me now???

Good!”

“2poops- git a life!Hike your AT trip! Yo somthin!”

“Marlo Thomas?”

“No way man! I'm way cooler than that. I have the earpiece and have the phone in my pocket so it looks like I'm talking to myself."

I remember the good old days in New York City. Then, when a person would talk out loud, apparently to no one, he was certifiably nuts!


One thing I'd like to see is that when I call Sprint information I could get an English speaking American rather than some East Indean phucker that doesn't even speak remedial English."

English! The other white language?”

“I called a D-link support service yesturday. The guy talked with such a strong ghetto slur I couldn't understand him. I just hung up. If your job involves talking on the phone, get the crap outta your mouth and learn to enunciate.”

“Aren't Trak Phone cards covered by food stamps?”

“What's even better then cell phones.
ARE SCANNERS!!!
When I worked on the race car team we had these cool Scannners and one of our crew guys is a MIT engineer and he cut some wire in it and added a funky antenna and we could here cell phone conversations!
I know a total invasion of privacy, but it sure was fun.
As we saw it as anything floating around in the air is anybody's to be had, FCC wouldn't agree though.
So anyway it was about 7 (statue of limitations..lol) years ago and the best conversation was this dude talking to this chick and she had a couple of kids and was married.
He was trying to get her to come over for some kinky stuff, so just when it was getting good & juicy....
he said "I'll tell ya the rest when you get here"
and she said "no tell me now"
he said "no, ya never know who could be listening out there"
she goes "what do you mean?"
He said "yeah people can listen in on conversations. that how the cop last month got busted"
She said "Oh really! wow I did not know that, I will be right over"....
Needless to say, all of us crew guys where ROTFL,our,AO.....

My cell is cheaper then my home phone and I get free LD and bunches of minutes, no roaming. plus I have it where ever I go. I do leave it on Vibrate, due to I hate when I hear them ringing, plus on vibrate it is a little more stealth.. Also have VM for when the timing is bad to take the call...
I work for a ILEC and we are loosing business fast!!!!”

“PS.....
I live out of my company's area, so I could not have our service with my discounts. So It was not like I bailed on my company too...lol”

“I used to know a ham who had fixed his radio so that he could listen in on cellphone convos. This was in the early 90's, when cellphones were still on the expensive side of things.

He said the thing he heard people talk about the most was money troubles, lol...”

“"2poops- git a life!Hike your AT trip! Yo somthin!"

cuz NOW is the best time to start the AT, right?”

“i havent had cable since moving to atlanta in 2000 and i havent had a cell phonesince early 1999, i lost it and never wanted another...i have found that i get along just fine with what i have now...tv is TBS, FOX, NBC, CBS, ABC, PAX, WB, and another i cant think of...the whole cell phone things is not really a safety thing with me...i break down...illl walk, i get lost, ill stop and ask someone, i need a cell phone almost as badly as egyptians need more sand”
