I must be a real loser because I don’t have a a cell phone permanently attached to my ear nor do I use a Bluetooth headset for my cell phone. I do have only a cell phone…no landline…so maybe I not such a loser but…
I really don’t get it. I am having a busy day if I talk on my personal phone once a day. Yet all around me people are walking in and out of their houses talking on cell phones, they are getting in and out of their cars talking on cell phones, they are pulling into and out of parking spaces talking on cell phones, and they are walking and crossing streets…talking on their cell phones.
I watched a young girl walk across a major intersection today talking on her cell phone totally oblivious to her surroundings. Yesterday, I saw a woman in her late fifties/early sixties run into a hip-high flower pot on a strip mall promenade while talking on the phone. She thought no one saw her but I gave her a little nod to let her know that her mishap had not gone undetected. Not too long ago when I was walking on a neighborhood trail, I frightened a young woman who was on her cell phone walking her dog. I was not 10 feet from her before the dog called attention to me. I am not sure that she would have ever seen me…
I don’t really understand why people have to be so connected. It is amazing that people even have time to take a crap without getting a call or a text message. For all I know, they don’t! I should create a web site called “Shitter,” based on Twitter, from which you can alert all your friends to the fact that you are on the crapper.
