I dislike cell phones in general. I admit, I own one, and I use it maybe 1-2 times a week, and I always try to go somewhere private to use it, but when you see (and hear) people on their phones all the time and some of the inane conversations they're having, it just bugs me to death. Some of the specific cell phone uses I hate:
People driving and talking on cell phones
People driving and talking on cell phones at 6.30 in the morning. I mean, who gets up that early first of all, and secondly, why are there other people that are willing to talk on the phone with them so early? What are they talking about, what they had for breakfast? How they slept?
People that turn on their cell phones the second an airplane's landing gear touches the tarmac. Ok, so you need to let your ride know you've arrived, fine. If it's for another reason, just wait a few minutes until you get into the terminal.
The guy at Blockbuster that called at least 4 people while in line to rent a movie that told every one of those people that he had lost 5 pounds on his new diet (honestly, you would never have guessed), and also told those people that he was in line at Blockbuster and so everybody else in the line (it was a very long one) got to hear him relate the same information 4 times in a row.
People on cell phones in restaurants.
People with those Star Trek-like headsets.
Sorry, I didn't realize what a problem I have. I'm going to go take a Valium now.
