   I see people walking down the street all the time yappin on a cell.   
   I can't imagine how annoying that would be.   
      
   The one that gets me is the woman in the grocery store, pushing her cart   
   down the aisles with one of them ear-phone things on and talking to beat the   
   band about any and everything and snatching stuff off the shelves as she   
   goes.   
   I mean, really.   
      
   Ever heard of a case of phone rage?   
   Like road rage but its where someone gets their lights punched out while   
   yappin on a cell while in line at the convenience store by a pissed off   
   construction worker.

   My cell is the only phone I have now, no landline.   
   What is it with cells, do they have a 2 year lifespan then you have to get   
   another one or what?   
   Mines been acting up and one of these days its going to take flying   
   lessons.....   
      
   Wanna know how to create a market niche?   
   Come up with a cellphone that makes good phone calls and thats all.   
   Period.   
   Mine has stuff on it that I've never used, like a browser of all things, and   
   games and a shitty camera and I don't know what all.   
   But it has never, ever sounded like a real phone when it rings and it will   
   tell me there is a voicemail when it never rang at all.   
   WTF!?!?   
      
   And whats with text messages?   
   I don't get it.   
   It takes forever to *type*, that intuitive spelling thing is a pain, and   
   they cost more than a voicemail.
