It totally amazed me at the number of people who would ring the bell, and as soon as I got out there, here they are on their cell phone. I would just turn and walk away from them, and the response was..."hey, hey, wait a minute, I want something" , So, I would turn around and go back to them, same thing, they would start talking on the cell. Walk away from them again, and they get IRATE..
I thought they would get the hint, but it seemed like I always had to explain, that I was not going to stand in front of them, until they decided to tell me what they wanted ,AFTER they got off the phone. I told them the nano second they knew what they wanted, I would be there, but I did not care to listen about the great party they went to last night, or like the other person said who's doing who....blah blah
I guess cell phones are here to stay, but me personally could live without them. i don't even like my land phone. How someone can talk on the phone for hours, and its not limited to women,has always intrigued me. Even as a teenager, never did it. A phone is a necessary evil, but you call the person for a reason , state the reason, case closed...??but, that is only my 2 cents.
