Cellphones - UNusual usage..........?

[Edwina's Secretary]

At the recent wedding of some friends....my husband and I thought it would be amusing to call the cell phone of the groom during the ceremony....the bride disagreed....

(we were only kidding plus the ceremony was too short to dial all the numbers required..... )

He probably would have answered too.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH HHHHHHH!

I just sent an email to our Human Resources Department. There are 2 women in my office who receive daily cell phone calls. One woman receives about 5-7 daily. Their ringing bugs the crap out of me and when they're not there to answer, their phones ring & ring until they go to voice mail. I was trying to concentrate today and couldn't. I just think it's sooooo rude. Hey, if you want a cell phone, that's fine. But why do I have to listen to that annoying ring and your stupid conversations about what you're cooking for dinner??!! So I'm causing trouble and suggested in my email that we have a meeting about cell phone etiquette (like putting it on vibration) and when making personal calls (like a 1/2 dozen times per day), go someplace where others can't hear you!!

I'm so glad I got that off my chest! Thanks!

I just recently got my first cell phone. I use it mostly when I'm traveling and I do feel safer having it with me. It does come in handy - have you tried finding a public phone lately? They are going the way of party-lines and dial phones!

I work part time in retail and it is really annoying to have someone talking loudly the whole time they are shopping & even in the dressing room. The other day I thought this woman had lost her marbles - she was standing there and would blurt things out. She totally ignored us. When she was leaving I realized that thing on her ear must be one of those new what-ever-you-call-them phone things that hangs around your ear.

I don't mind new technology, but not when you are driving or supposed to be concentrating on something else. And keep your voice down, for heaven's sake! The whole world is NOT interested in your conversation!

Four prisoners in El Salvador had smuggled some in prison that were in plastic baggies. They also had one charger and nine cell phone chips. They weren't using them just then (had to do an xray to find them) but you've got to admit it's unusual.

I love my cellphone! No, it's not attached to my ear, but I do call my cousin/best friend about 2 times a day. We live three hours apart, and never get to see eachother, and we always have so much to talk about.
I do NOT take it to work though. I do NOT talk on it if I am in line waiting to get to the till. etc etc etc.

I don't see a problem with them as long as you keep your voice down, and you keep it on vibrate in public places. If someone is going to need to talk to you (cashier, etc) then say "Hey I will call yah right back." Obsessing is not a good thing.

That must have gotten a lot of press coverage. I heard Jay Leno crack
a joke about it the other night. Unbelievable.
