I've had a cell phone since 1999 and I've always felt that a cell phone conversation shouldn't go on for more than 2 minutes. To me it's been a way of telling people where I'm going to be when, or where they should be when, because we need to co-ordinate. It's a redundancy. Now I have clients calling my cell phone number, so I've been forced into conversations on the bus etc.
I can only think of a few times where my cell phone was actually 'needed'. I guess I can do without. I just don't like to. It's a redundancy.
If I'm at the theatre, the phone is off. If it's important, they can leave a message. If I'm at school, I just don't get a signal. Some of my classmates do, and it's always "OMG MY BEST FRIEND CALLED I NEED TO ANSWER THE PHONE" or "OMG ITS MY BOYFRIEND AND HE JUST GOT OUT OF CLASS".
THAT drives me NUTS
I can't stand watching people use cell phones as regular phones. Like, when you're in a social situation and someone decides they'll talk to someone that isn't right there instead.
