Can't live without my mobile phone
Yesterday we were in town and the amount of people walking around with the mobiles texting and not looking where they are going, its you that has to move for them. Well I dont and I am a stocky person so many seem to bounce off me. You may get a sorry or a grunt of some sort, and this goes for men and women too,
What did we all do before we had phones, I now dont take mine with me when we go out together, back to talking to each other rather then head down and typing to others I say, or am I being old fashioned?

I had fish and chips for dinner last night, waiting in the chippy I was the only person without one in my hand
I go days without remembering to turn mine on!
Shows what a sad life I lead I suppose

We have become a race of phone morons. I often see big fat chav with kid in pushchair attempting to cross busy road while pushing kid and texting. Brainless idiots. Should be on the spot fine.

All the time. Easy solutions compulsory 3 month ban and £500 fine. No appeal. Would stop overnight.

Never take mine anywhere because it never rings and I only make one call a month at the most, that's why my ten pound top up lasts many many months!

I see many users answer their mobile at the cash out till and the teller plus the next customer waiting on them, in the bank also.
I find my wife Lolita does it too, we were sitting talking to the manager in the bank at her desk, Lolita's cellphone rings, what does she do,,, answer and talk to the caller. I said to her in front of the manger how rude she was.
Also, I treat a text message as not urgent to answer, and I will read and answer as soon as its convenient, but not Lolita - she has to respond immediately

I hate that - people jawing away on their phones whilst being served at the checkout shows rudeness and a complete lack of respect for the member of staff

Such negative posts about a great creation. My mobile is my third arm at times and helps me out every day.
I bet all the guys that are knocking mobiles on here use their landlines and receive calls on their landlines every day.
I have my mobile of silent when we are out but it is very handy all the time.

They are fantastic thing to have, and yes I use one everyday too, but like anything in life there is a time and a place to use it,
The times when you are sitting talking to each other and you look around and I bet a good 75% are on their phones texting or just looking to see if they have missed that call,
But each to there own

It is a bit like talking your Grandparents and asking, what did you do before TV and why have I got 10 siblings.

Yep, and we all end up like them too, we just go round and round and round: "Hang about, my phone's ringing, I'll be right back!"

A lot of the idiots who feel no shame in letting the rest of the world know about their goings on are "I'm the big I ams" or "look at me" I love it when some dragon of a doctors receptionist tells them to obey the notice and switch it off

I have "free" calls to ANY UK landline as part of an unlimited broadband package with TalkTalk ... the only real drawbacks
being:
Doesn't include 0845 or 0871 numbers
and
My name no longer appears in the local directory.
But ... ... apart from those relatively minor considerations, it's a *pretty good deal - averaging out at roughly £25 to £30 per month - and means Myrna's in regular touch with her niece, who's a nurse in Hartlepool.
By contrast, mobile phone charges are a "rip~off"!

If you think it's bad here in UK, you should experience it in Hong Kong! It's so bad there that there are signs everywhere telling people to stop looking at their mobile/ cell phone and to watch what they are doing. People just stop dead in their tracks on the pavements to text, play games or view the internet and others literally fall over them! Quite ridiculous

I never owned one till my Mrs bought me one that I lost somewhere after about a week.
I call it my lucky escape...
That said..I was never really into land lines either.

They are useful of course - I even watch tv on mine when working, but people seem to be dominated by them.

Couldn't watch anything on a phone screen and wouldn't know how to. I can't believe people go online on a phone - and, if so, what on earth for? They should wait until they get home and use their computers in comfort in nice plush, peaceful surroundings!

Ah, for me it's different when sat on Taxi rank. New phones have bigger screens so easy to watch tv. Also it's where I type most of my daytime responses to the Forum - along with checking flight times etc. But when I'm out and about, phone stays in pocket and I converse with people face to face whilst drinking beer

Thanks for the info Les, I understand and what my meaning was, I don't know how to cope with today's Phone's, to me a phone is just a phone!
