I hate 'em.

Well, I don't hate them as such, they're probably quite useful if you're lost or being mugged or something.

But there are many things about mobile phones that annoy me.

F'r instance;

1. People being able to contact you when you want to be left alone.
2. The way the battery always runs out just when you need to make an important phonecall.
3. The elitism attached to new/tiny phones. Mine is the size of a house brick, and I'm proud of it.
4. The way they cost so damn much.
5. The way people turn their phone off when you're trying to ring them and you *know* they know you're trying to call because it rang the last three times.
6. The way that my hands free gets all tangled up and so it takes me ages to answer and I miss loads of calls.
7. The way that people laugh at my ringtones.
8. The way that people text me in the middle of the night and wake me up.
9. The fact that I've forgotten how to put tracks onto the music player that's built into my phone and am now stuck with Gareth Gates and The Offspring.
10. The way that my phone falls out of my pocket when I'm driving and almost causes me to have an accident.

That's all for now, folks.

But they have their advantages, such as... well... ...

Exactly.

Yeah, but they can do...

Yeah

Anyway, what brings up this current rant?

See point 5.

I liked what you did with the text there, by the way.

Yeah, that was well worth the 25c.

Hey, it was funny.

And I am SO worth 25c.

I suppose so.

And you sound so sure of that.

What? I'm trying to be nice.

Ok, ok.

Oh, stop objecting, sirrah.

Unless you really want me to stop doing it...?

Yes, you should stop smiling.

That better?

No.

Hey, I'm only joking, smile all you want.
