Yes I know I have one and use it regularly but if given the choice I would rid the world of all cell phones in a snap of the finger. Most people overuse them and have no social etiquette about how to use them (hint: don't use them in public). Also, most people, especially kids, don't remember the day when we didn't have cell phones and people had to make calls at home. (This was less than 12 years ago.)Tonight I ran out to Target to get out of the house and was thinking about getting a movie to watch tonight. While there I saw a mom pushing her daughter (probably 3 or 4 years old) in a cart and the girl was pretending to be on the cell phone and having a conversation with someone. How low has it got that kids are now playing make believe on a cell phone. Are their imaginations that bad?
Then when I got to the movie aisle some girl (maybe 26ish) was talking on her phone about some guy drama. She was talking quite loud and was not even pretending to be shopping, why not take that conversation outside or to your home. She was talking about some guy who they all used to know that came back in town for summer and the first night back he met some girl and has been only hanging out with this new girl and none of his old friends. WHO CARES? Why are you having this conversation in a public place in a volume in which everyone can hear you. Then when I walked closer because I was actually trying to shop. she looked at me and then walked two steps away and kept doign this as various people walked closer to her. So sorry lady to actually come to a store for the reason that it is there, to shop. Sorry to invade in on your personal phone booth.
