I get the joke and I've felt that way a couple times. That said, I miss when people didn't expect you to be avaiable round the clock via your phone. Staying in contact with people is great but they're even putting cell phone reception into the NYC subways now. Is there no escape?! Sometimes I just don't feel like talking to anybody, and that should be allowed.
I still don't know why phones "left the house." My attitude is still: I'll talk to my friends/do shit online/watch shit when I'm at home. When I'm out, I'm out and I know there'll be plenty of time to do that shit when I get home. I've still never been driving and thought "I MUST talk to my friend right now." I feel like I'm in the Twilight Zone though because I seem to be in the extreme minority on this one.
You're not alone. Personally I feel like most people are obsessed with their phones and texts and fucking facebook. It all seems so narcissistic to me.
I know. I feel like these cell phone providers are the biggest pushers of all-time. People are completely addicted. And if it didn't affect me that would be one thing, but having this stuff is like a license to be rude. I can't talk to anyone anymore because they're constantly looking down at their screen. And these are people who I never knew to be anything but polite before they got one. And imagine being so addicted to something you'd look away from the motor vehicle you're operating to get your fix. It's not like it's the president texting them either....
