Phone packages cell phone packages all packages! Just bill me a flat fee. I don’t give a crap about ‘free-minutes’ or ‘long-distance’ minutes, or any of that. Just bill me a flat fee and so much for every minute. That’s all I ask for. And btw, those ‘young target audience’ actors on cell-phone commercials who ‘text-message’ eachother like it’s free. I want them to go away, too. ---

Why don’t you just explain where everyone is to go away to? Half of the things on your list are things I like, so does this mean you are going to make me go away too? I’m sorry my tastes are repulsive to you. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/things-i-want-to-go-away/155762.md?page=2)
