What makes YOU so important?!

that's what i feel like saying to every goddamn person who uses a cellphone in a restaurant, in the BATHROOM!, in the gym, in the LIBRARY, in the damn car while driving, and anywhere else.

i have a cell phone, but you know what? it does NOT rule my world. i don't answer it if i'm eating. i don't bring it in with me when i workout, go to the library, and i don't use it WHILE driving unless i have my earpiece in. what the fuck did you all do when you didn't have a cellphone? YOU DIDN"T GET THE CALL! OMG what a concept. now why MUST you go to a restaurant, yet spend the entire time on the phone?!?!

this happened to me the other day, well lots of times when i go out but this one just killed me. i was out with my sister and neice at a mexican joint. now i do take my phone, but i won't answer it when i'm eating. i am sorry, but nothing is THAT important that it can't wait until i'm done. i don't have a high dollar job that takes up all my life. i actually HAVE somewhat of a life, granted not the greatest, but my job doesn't take up my life. neither do i have to be on the phone 24/7. i'm lucky if ANY of my friends call me cause i have so few. but anyway, these two people walked in the mexican joint. one guy sits down and is on the phone. the woman goes into the bathroom, not on the phone. another woman is still outside flapp[in her lips on the phone. she comes in, and the other woman comes out of the bathroom. her phone rings. the guy's not on the phone now, but i think they barely squeeeze out a hello before the other woman gets on her phone. ya know. i really don't give a shit what is going on in their life. Really. i don't care that someone had a little girl. i don't want to hear about so-and-so doing whatnot. so they are loud enough for all the restaurant to hear just about. then the guy is on the phone. all three are on the phone most of the time. o wait they do order food, WHILE ON THE PHONE. i think that is SO rude. my patience is getting thinner nowadays. i am on the verge of just telling people what they can do with their phones. but alas i haven't reached that point yet. maybe it is all about me but i'm sure no one else in that restaurant wants to hear your business, because you KNOW they talk louder on the cellphone than a regular conversation in person. like the other person can't hear right or something. i don't know. anyway, these 3 people are at dinner together, yet hardly said THREE words to each other becuase they were on their respective cell phones, or one wasn't while the others were and how can you have a conversation? I mean what happened to talking to the people you are WITH???? what has this society become??

now i do love my cell. i don't want to be without one. i don't have a landline because well i can't afford it AND a cell. i feel naked if i go out without it since i'm not totally trusting that nothing will go wrong with the truck. i like to have it in case i am in nowhere land and i need to call for an emergency. but it doesn't rule my existence.

i don't want to go back to primitive days mind you, but all this technology is getting to be just too much. i like my quiet time without tvs or radios (i live at the beach hehe). i do miss being online, but i'm past the withdrawal and i could probably do without except for the fact that we have grades and coursework online. and plus the rudeness factor of people has tripled. i mean there are even SIGNS now that say NO CELL PHONES WHEN CONDUCTING BUSINESS> i mean that should be common sense RIGHT? OMFG. oHHHHH and when i am going up to a clerk or something and they are on the PHONE at WORK???? i tell them to get off. cause i ain't doing business whether it's just checking me out at a register with someone who has to be on the phone. take your fucking break.

o you are reading this while on the phone? LOL
