Cell phones neat, but annoying (NEWSFLASH!)

It's simply convenient for me. I have a friend who lives in another state, so rather than paying long distance or using calling cards, I just use the nights and weekends minutes from my phone plan. The cell phone is also useful because I sometimes have questions I need answered on short-notice and do not have the time to wait until I get home to make a call or walk to a payphone. There’s also the sanitation issue from the latter. Having a mobile phone is also a way for friends and family to give me information or remind me about something without having to worry that I might not receive the message.

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.

There's a large sign that can be seen immediately after entering my university library asking students to turn all cell phones off or at least keep them on silent. Although I don't hear many loud rings inside the library, people still tend to have the phones vibrating on tables, and they talk loudly in quiet study areas. If it's an emergency and I see someone calling me, I try to go between shelves and keep the conversation short as well.

There's nowhere I can't reach.
