Why is this needed?
« on: Aug 22, 2007, 09:23:07 AM »
I just got a new cell phone...there was a sticker that read: "For best call experience, make sure the earpiece is held to your ear".

As a people, are we really that dense?
The things that come to those who wait, may be the things left by those who got there first.

I contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.

We live in a society that has directions on shampoo, or even Hot beverage warnings on cups of coffee.  so I say yes.  :gap:

You know what cracks me up?  And you see a lot of girls do this:

They talk into the speaker part of the phone when it's on speakerphone - as if the microphone is in the speaker.  My wife used to do that, until I educated her.  Now I can hear her again.

We need those remote disable thingys.  That would be fun.  Sitting at the store surrounded by yappers and hit that button and watch them all look at their phones and say "WTF?"

And you laugh...

I just can't stand the people who frickin YELL when they're on their cell in public!  No, your conversation isn't interesting enough to have to talk so loud, and the people on the other end can hear you just fine if you speak normally.  I put it to the test the first time I started noticing how loud others talked on their cells and nobody has ever told me I was talking too quietly yet.

It's a sue happy world!


I personally hate to sit and listen to people talk on their phone!  I'll start to talk really loud or get my kids laughing and making really obnoxious sounds to try to disrupt their conversation that is rudely interrupting my time with my family!

If I get a call on my phone, and if I'm in a place that is appropriate to to answer it, I will, if not then I won't!  Isn't that what caller ID is for?  And if I answer a call, I will take myself away from a crowded area to talk!  It's called being polite!

Sometimes I wish I had a cellular jammer!  I'd go around crowded areas and jam signals!
