I first would like to start off by saying, I do NOT have a cellphone. I have no use for them and I have no plans to get one. I'm still all about the quarter in the payphone. Why? Because that's how I roll.

I find it weird to have a camera on your phone. Does anyone actually ever use those pictures? They're so tiny you can't see anything.

Meh. I'm not a phone person. I don't do phones. Phones aren't my thing.
I hate it when people call me. Especially grandparents. Here's a little play-by-play of the coversation:
Grandparent: HI!
Me: Hi.
Grandparent: How are you?
Me: Good.
Grandparent: Good, good.
{Then there's that long awkward pause}
Grandparent: So how old are you now?
(My age hasn't changed since last week, you know.)

And then they're some more awkwared pauses in between a couple perks about the weather and then the conversation is over.

My most recent cellphone incident includes being in a restaurant. I went to the washroom and there was someone all ready in the bathroom, in a bathroom stall, way ahead of me, and their phone started ringing. Did the girl finish up in the bathroom, wash her hands and then answer her phone?
Nope, Nuh-uh, of course not. She was talking and talking. I'm sorry but that is just plain disgusting. Please. I'm sure who ever is calling can wait and call back.

So the lady finally came out of the bathroom stall STILL talking on the phone and I just gave her a look of disgust. Like, what is WRONG with you?

It's like that episode of Seinfeld when Elaine can tell that her boyfriend is taking a shit while he is talking to her on the phone...
I wonder if that lady you had the pleasure of meeting so intimately was talking to someone important. Hopefully it was just a #1!
