Cell phones neat, but annoying (NEWSFLASH!)

I never really appreciated having a mobile phone until my car broke down on my way in to University one morning, during a spell of extremely slow moving traffic. Although my gratitude was mitigated slightly by the fact that I ran out of credit, and the top-up by debit/credit card service happened to be down. I have since switched to a pay monthy contract to make my phone really useful for emergencies!

I'm not really an irritating person with my phone, whenever I'm in public I keep it on vibrate/mute. I only have the ringer on when I'm in my house, car or whatever.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I don't usually rely on my cellphone too much. I turn it off during class and thankfully, it doesn't have any features besides taking calls and accepting text messages (I never even text message that much. Once in a blue moon).

But I've come to rely on it since there's emergency situations in which instant contact must be possible. I guess for me, a phone's just a phone, nothing useful except taking calls.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Same here.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?
