I don't really despise cell phones as much as I despise the degeneration of etiquette at their hands. People taking calls in a line, and then not ending the call when it's their turn, therefore holding up the line, is a real problem. It's also practically inevitable that a phone will go off during an improtant meeting, thus disrupting it and annoying evberyone. People often forget to turn them off, and some don't realize that oftentimes the vibration is JUST as annoying and loud as the ring if it's on a table or in a bag. Then there's the people that are ALWAYS on the phone, even when they're with someone! How rude is THAT! There's also the loud talkers that talk so loud into the phone that the whole store can hear the conversation, and now with walkie talkie features you can hear both conversations. The Trigger Happy TV sketches that had him on a giant cell phone literally screaming into it on buses and elsewhere in crowds just had me in stitches. HELLO?! YEAH!! GREAT!!
The other funny thing to come out of cell phones is hands free calling, which basically makes you look like you're talking to yourself from the wrong angle. I still blatantly stare at people who use it, and look at them like they're crazy.
I don't have one, but I use my wife's from time to time. I always forget I have it, and it's always off. It's more for an emergency or if I need to get a hold of her to change plans.
I don't like the idea of not being able to get away either. Some people just don't need to know where I am sometimes.
Jam it back in, in the dark.
