Today I am feeling:

I hate cell phones. So do other people. Now, I admit, I do own a cell phone. In fact, I own only a cell phone, I don't have a regular land line phone because I can't justify paying $30/mo for a land line phone when I already have a convenient pocket-sized cell phone with more added features than my land line phone had. Of course, cell phones suck as far as quality. Or at least mine does. But come to think of it, so did my regular phone.

Anyway, the above mentioned article I found amusing. I dunno about you but I swear 99% of the population uses cell phones. People drive while using 'em which ticks me off. Students use 'em to cheat on tests in school (thanks to those handy-dandy text messenging features, teachers are you reading?) But the thing that cracks me up is people who literally walk around the grocery store in a daze talking to someone asking them what they want for dinner. Like what they choose is so important that if they choose chicken over fish the world will cease to exist. I mean, gimme a break people! And those annoying endless ringtones, man I swear, whoever invented those oughta be forced to listen to them 24 hours a day for a year just to get the full impact of how annoying they are. Why can't cell phones have "normal" ringers? Why do they need those irritating nails-on-a-blackboard sound they all have? Why?!? Thank goodness for silent mode is all I got to say. And people, please, turn your damn phones OFF in movie theatres or classrooms and the like. Especially classrooms during tests. There is always at least one student who keeps their phone on in class (no doubt waiting for an important "what's for dinner tonight" call) despite teacher requests to turn the damn phones off. If I was a teacher, and a student's phone rang during a test, it'd be an automatic F. No retake, no whining, that's it, learn your lesson, pal. Of course, the school would probably fire me cuz the student would <whine> and threaten to sue. I just hope that elementary school teachers can handle the kids with cell phones, the LA school district just lifted a ban on cell phones for kids in school, so now, not only can they deal drugs and cheat, they can also annoy the hell outta everyone too! Yay! I'm so glad schools are doing their job educating our children so they will be productive citizens in the future.
