Ahhh, advisor to Bishop Eddie Long I see.
I recommend eggs. Perfect for when you’d prefer the cops give you a stern lecture rather than haul your ass off to the station house, but still want to inflict a serious mess on the other guy.
I’m going to take that as an challenge to a duel.
We’ll do it tomorrow. Arm yourself as you wish.
I don’t think that really has anything to do with the network being unable to handle the iPhone, specifically. I used to have AT&T, and I had problems with their unreliable network too, but I’ve never had an iPhone. I think AT&T is just generally shitty in some areas.
Is this a common occurence? Did you have one evening ruined or multiple?
2002 called, and the phone rang with a tinny Nokia jingle. It wants its rant back.
Of course, you’re the perfect gentleman when it comes to cellphone use, like every every other cellphone user in your country and, for that matter, every cellphone user who posts on this board.
In fact there are no offensive and clueless cellphone junkies whatsoever, just a cadre of extraterrestrials who impersonate them in order to create chaos and prime the way for a takeover of our galaxy.
It’s really not an American thing. Some people just feel they need to be loud on the phone because CAN YOU HEAR ME NOW ? YES, I’M IN THE CAN. I SAID I’M IN THE CAN ! even though the reception is 5 on 5.
It’s one of those annoying human trait things. That would be entirely solved by a global thermonuclear war, but will they listen to me ?!
I tend to talk loudly on my phone because I have trouble hearing myself. It’s almost like wearing headphones. If I can’t hear myself talking, then how am I supposed to know that I’m talking correctly? I could be mumbling or stuttering and I wouldn’t know it!
As long as there are clueless and thoughtless cell phone users, there will be rants about them. Pretty much forever, I expect, or at least until we’re all implanted with mind-to-mind radios.
And then we’ll have rants about how our next-door neighbors are thinking too loud. :smack:
Demolition derby with Bentleys at dawn in the Valley of Elah.
Survivor gets a year’s supply of Jheri Curl Juice.
Best. Duel. Evar!
Oh, people shout on the phone here, too. But that’s just their normal speaking voice.
Sometimes, on a warm summer night, when everyone has their windows open, I can hear my neighbours fucking. No problem with cellphones though.
Might I suggest an anonymous gift of lube, or maybe an oil can.
What is it with this board and cell phones? We have several threads where people either don’t have them and/or don’t like them, or feel like they’re trapped by them because they don’t want to be at other people’s beck and call. And then there are threads where people bitch about the phones themselves, because people speak loudly. Yes, people are loud, obnoxious, and assholish. They will be these things whether or not they’re holding phones (or even if they’re holding phones that have cords). Cells are not the problem.
Like so many other things, idiots and assholes are the problem.
Title: “Cell phones are a plague upon peaceful fall evenings”
Would you have the same issue with a cordless phone? Hell, do you even know for certain it was a mobile phone and not a cordless landline?
But cell phones are asshole magnifiers. Back in the old days, the fact that telephones were fastened to the wall reduced the ability for people to be assholes everywhere and all the time. Yes, there are lots of other ways to be an asshole that have always been available, but a cell phone makes being an asshole so easy!
