My main gripe are those people who rely on their phone too heavily, and only those who don't have it for business purposes. These people frequently check their phone for messages and just fuck around with it a lot. This includes quite a few of my friends.
Also some of the unesscessary messages and phone calls i hear/eavesdrop on, make them seem purely for entertainment purposes.
More recently with all those damn cameras, anyone and everyone is taking picutres of all kind of crap. Theres also all those stupid ring tones that i despise.
on the plus side, they're good fro storing numbers in, cause writing something on my hand, always seems to dissappear by morning....
Basically they've become part of popular culture and i don't really like them. I do think i'd get one, eventually for business purposes, although i don't really like the idea that someone could contact oir try to contact me (i know you can turn them off etc). I think there might be a lot of lonely people out there who rely on it too much. Although, I am not suggesting that if you're got one, you're lonely.
Anyone else not really like mobile phones and doesn't have one?

You and I = siblings. I hate cell phones. Everyone at the local highschool has one, and it's in the rules you can't even bring it into the building off. Yet when people get suspended for having it ring during class, they bitch about it. Holy shit, I want to break every cell phone I see. I don't quite know why, it's just something I really, really hate. Oh, and I used to own one, then I realized how utterly pointless it is. If someone can't get in contact with you every second of every day, they flip. Western culture is on the downslope.
Sorry for the rant.
