Check my coat in and I paid the dollar. Sidekick rings, "What's up? Holla!"

One thing that currently pissed me off to no end is my phone. First of all, I hate cell phones. Secondly, the screen doesn't work half the time. I usually just get a big black screen that will maybe work if I hit enough buttons. Usually I have to turn it off and on to get it to work. Sometime I have to do that five times.

Even when it is "working" it constantly flickers like it is about to go ninja on me. As if using my giant fingers on its tiny keypad to text someone was not difficult enough, now I get to guess if what I am typing is correct.

This is just a good way to say why I hate cell phones. And now my top 10 reasons to hate cell phones (in no real order):

10. Why is it a good idea for people to be able to expect to get in touch with me at any second of a day?
9. The language people use to text makes me feel like I am 80 years old.
8. Nothing like driving and phoning to make sure you are paying attention to the road and giving the person on the other end of the phone your attention.
7. People, we have had these things loud enough. They are good pieces of technology. You do not need to yell into your phone.
6. I really do not want to hear your conversation with "honey bear" while standing in line for lunch.
5. Your answering message was so long and annoying that I will never call you back.
4. Ever heard of going to see the person to talk to them instead of calling them while you do 100 other things?
3. Our population does not need a built in video camera in everyone's pockets.
2. Why do the free ones get better service than the ones with all the fancy gadgets?
1. Your sweet ringtone isn't so cute when it goes off in the middle of class now is it?


Sidenote on cell phones: My first cell phone that I got to put in my car in case I had an emergency and needed help did not have a clock. This fact allowed me to win $40 in bets with people who believed I simply was an idiot and did not know how to make my clock visible.
