    is whatever conversation so important that you cannot hang-up and redial after you take care of business? i have witnessed/heard this 2x this week in my office ladies room. i just think....disgusting! and man, what about the poor person on the other end of the line, can they hear anything? :o yuck. i can think of NO reason to do this, and never would. gross, gross, gross. i mean, even the logistics of it, phone in one hand, etc.......ewwwwwww.

    Don't lie!

    My son is always putting the mobile down the toilet. We took the sim card out in the end and gave him his own.

    i think she's referring to germs ON your telephone.........eeeewwwww....



    continuing onwards with the idea of what's with people :p


    what's with people on the train and they do NOT have their tickets handy? i'm not talking about the person who makes a mad dash to *just* make it into the train an then the conductor is right there.....but more the person who is sitting comfortably in their seat for a good 5-10 minutes before the conductor comes around to check ticekts, and then seems genuinely surprised/flustered as they take 5 minutes to retrieve their ticket from their pockets/purse. :rolleyes:


    i witnessed this last night on my regular commute home. this woman took at least 5 minutes to retrieve her ticket as the conductor stood waiting - a couple other cars worth of people she needed to check - and it was a monthly, so it's not like she is *new* to the whole commuting thing, that the conductors actually do check each and every ticket. :p sheesh. people are amazing...
    Stay with me...
    Let's just breathe...


    I am myself like you somehow

    I have a friend that only calls me when he is on the toilet.

    He says "I was taking a crap and I thought of you".

    NICE!

    if a conversation with someone is damn important then sit down somewhere and take the call instead of chatting like a fuckhead while...

    driving*
    shopping
    walking
    shitting

    or

    at a concert
    at a sporting event
    in a museum
    at the library

    I agree with not using your cell phone during a concert, sporting event, museum and library - and definitely the public restrooms. But maybe you should consider some of the reasons why people talk where they do?

    I always talk while grocery shopping if I don't have my iPod with me. It dulls the pain of actually being there. I also talk on the cell while driving, though I use my bluetooth Jawbone - not holding the phone up to my ear - and I'm a great driver :)

    I find, as a mom, that errands are the only time I actually get privacy and can have a semi-serious conversation. I look forward to these times. I don't have to interrupt a conversation to yell about homework or cleaning, answer math questions, etc. My kid is never lacking my attention, but a parent being on the phone at home is like a MAGNET for a kid to come and interrupt.

    I'm on my cell whenever I can, and to borrow a phrase from Speedy, I don't give a rats ass if people think I'm a fucktard for doing so..

    Just thought I'd shed some light on what it's like to wear the other shoe :p

    Why is it that whenever you're driving and come up on an accident that people must slow down and ogle at the wreck? This pisses me off something fierce. :mad: Why do something that can a) cause other accidents b) make traffic back up (for miles sometimes if you're on an interstate highway) and c) make me spit venom? I don't care that Joe had a fender bender with Mary...I just want to get home. And, inevitably it's 10 times worse going home from work than at any other time during the day.

    Heh none of us are :D, and yeah, agreed... it can be annoying. Or the extremely loud people that shout into their phones.. fortunately I can multi-task and speak at a reasonable volume :)

    Germs get everywhere! Do you take your shoes off before you go in and out of the bathroom? A few germs are good for you anyway.

    I hate it when people walk around the shopping centre with a mobile. I don't understand why they don't just take a list? It's nearly always the guys too!

    Wait a second here. I may have called my gf in the past about certain items but that's only to avoid the bitching if god forbid I buy conditioner for curly and smooth hair as opposed to curl rejuvenation for silky hair. :rolleyes: Men know how to shop. (Some) Women know how to screw up shopping.

    why are you shopping for your girlfriend's conditioner?
