Cell phones neat, but annoying (NEWSFLASH!)

I would say it is a little more than a convenience when I got in a car accident on an empty stretch of highway, and used my cellphone to dial 911.

Actually, I'd say it's damn near a necessity now; I rightly put it as my home phone on all forms of identification. I have a landline phone at my house, but I never use it, because it's always getting calls for my Mom or her boyfriend. Even if I had an extra line installed, it would be an annoyance, since most of the calls I recieve are ones that require immediate response, and naturally happen while I'm away from home.

You know, one does not need to instantly become an asshole when he or she owns a cellphone. I personally always find a quiet place away from other people when I make or receive calls, so people aren't bothered by it. Also, when I can't do this, I try to keep my responses quiet and concise, and end the conversation as quickly as possible. I probably only use my cell phone for a minute or two each day on average anyway; I'm not one who likes to stay on the phone.

If people would learn to use some restraint, then there wouldn't be such a problem with bad cellphone habits.

But anyway, despite my post, I could live without one. It would complicate things a whole lot more though.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
