I keep one for emergencies, and for when I'm out of state and have to call home. Couldn't begin to tell you what bells and whistles it has, cuz the only thing I care about is that it does what it has to when I absolutely, positively have to make a call.
The rude use of these phones has reached epidemic proportions. Whenever I make a presentation, lately, I start by pointing out that the sound of a cell phone ringing turns me into a raving lunatic. It's shocking to me how many people in the room have to first turn them off.
At my son's wedding somebody's phone actually went off in the middle of the service. Bad enough, except they didn't turn it off, and it rang a second time. I had to be physically restrained by my wife and brother.
And I swear, the next phone I hear ringing in a restaurant is going to be buried in whatever is on my plate at the time. |
