:flame:I used to think talking on cell phones in the restroom was about as low as you could go.

:uzi:Last week, I went in the bathroom, did my business and noticed "click,click click". I determined there was a fellow texting/emailing on his blackberry in the stall.

I came back 10 minutes later to washout my lunch dishes, he was still in there "click click click". :-o

:idea:
I think they should combine GPS with your signature, Instead of "sent from my blackberry" or "sent from my iphone", how about "sent from the Men's room, floor three."????

My biggest pet peeve, and it happens a LOT, is when I'm in a meeting with someone and their phone goes off....AND THEY ANSWER IT. Like my time is not important?
In the bathroom...definately UGH!

mine i when someone txts you while you driving and you call them back and they don't answer.
I love doing that... txting is ok, but why waste my time texting back and forth 10x when I could've called and done that in seconds.

I think they're afraid of talking, grew up with IM, and texting bridges that gap between real life talking and their PC :D

Saw a chick stop her car at a green light the other day to pull out her phone and text message someone. Green light, mind you. That was awesome.

that is absoulutly the case with the under 30 crowd.

Hey...im 41 and i average about 3000 text messages a month :) I also use about 600 minutes a month.


I just like to talk :)


Now on the other hand....my son does about 10,000/month and about 300 minutes and my soon to be 11 yr old daughter does about 8000/month and about 100 minutes.

my kids (18 & 22) and I txt each other while in the same house.....sometimes even int he same room.

Pathetic but true. Good thing we have an unlimited txt plan so I don't have to worry about a bazillion txt minutes.

I draw the line on txt'ng from the bathroom. My luck the phone would go for a swim.

Seriously, that is not healthy. People who text all the time piss me off beyond believe. I just love when I'm talking to someone and they whip out there phone and just start texting while in the middle of a conversation. For the next 5 minutes all you hear are "yeah", "sure", and "that sounds cool/fun". Oh man does texting make me angry. I hate technology...

My parents got this new-fangled fios TV thing about 3 weeks ago and about a week ago I decided to give it a try. After about 3 minutes I gave up since there were so many frickin' channels, and the order is all screwy. I haven't turned on a TV since then.

I hope it's not 10 cents a text...I have no clue if my texts cost money since my cell phone bill goes to the company..
