Interesting, it's the same here. Usually a couple of dead beats
checking out
the phones and they get the attention. They must be cheap or
something? I
figure if you don't have a cell phone by now you don't need one?

It there anybody out there who DOES NOT have a cell phone?


Never had a cell phone. I guess I'm lucky. I can get annoyed for free,
I don't need to pay for it.

My wife has had one for years, which I applaud (a woman traveling
alone in a car a lot - a must-have). But I never had one or wanted one
until my wife grabbed me by the lapels and jerked me into the 21st
century at Christmas. She bought me the phone and a 2-year
subscription. I travel to work each day down I-94 in Berrien County, MI
(read: "out-of-nowhere" blinding snow squalls). She said she wanted a
phone in that car with the types of cirmcumstance I occasionally have to
drive through to and from work. Hard to argue her logic there.

On RatShack (and I think I mentioned this once before), there are two
in my area. One I stopped going into some time ago, because if you went
in for a pair of D cell batteries, the manager would immediately get you
in a half-Nelson to buy six things you wanted no part of - and he was
persistent! T'ell with that crap!

Had one and threw it away. Who wants to be on 24 hour call?

They want me, they gotta find me....

Not quite rifraff, but, a quite elderly, crotchety old guy was in a
local RS, trying to finish buying, yes, a CB RADIO.
He kept hollering to a confused teenaged salesgirl, "wurz the aar-ull?
Needs a aar-ull!" Just before I was going to have mercy and chime in,
another RS-er finally figured out he meant an Antenna (formerly known as
an aerial), found a magmount and sent him on his way.

Similar thing happened to me 2 years ago (I posted it here),
I wanted parts to make a dipole and got so disgusted with a guy in neon
colored clothing following me around tying to sell me a phone, satellite
dish, credit card. The chimp finally say's, what are you looking for can I
help.
I had enough and respond angry :
I just want to make a dipole for this cool glowbug I found at the curb last
week ! Don't need no F** cellphone plan, 400 watt woofers, dancing dice,
plasma globes. Just need some ferrets, eggs , copper wire, 58 and be on with
it !
....damm !!!
The guy says "this isn't that kind of store, please leave before I call the
cops"

I didn't know that there were old men with Southern accents in Detroit.

Yes. I am one. Never owned a cellphone. Never will.

Any phone company that tells
me that I have to *pay* for calls that I receive
on a cell phone, besides charge for a dozen
other (things that you need a PhD to understand
the reasoning behind) can kiss my a-- on Saturday.

Here is a story. My cousin (who's name is Vinnie !)
signed up with Sprint 6 months ago. He's all
excited cause he got his LG or Samsung (forget
which) Camera phone for only $150.00 and can
even play games on it, besides taking and sending
pictures to his webpage.

His monthly phone bill now averages $145.00
My monthly (pots) bill rarely exceeds $19.00
per month.

The guy who sold him his Sprint contract said
his phone bill dollar amount would be like "paying a
traffic ticket each month". If that was me, I would
have told that salesman to go pay his own "traffic
ticket" and I'd had walked out of the store laughing.

Last week he asked me how I can swing less than
$20 per month for full telephone service. I just smiled
at him and said they can either call later, or leave a
message on the machine, or kiss my a--.

(on a related topic, I always make it a point to
have fun with people who use handheld cell phones
while driving. usually some bimbo in an SUV or
teenager in a late model VW or Honda. one fun
way is to slow down to the posted
speed limit. ****es em off every time and on two
occasions they've run a yellow light or a stop
sign after passing me - i do this when near
intersections- both times they were nabbed by
the PD who I know sit up ahead in a blind spot.
the looks on their faces were priceless)

Yes. Me. No cell phone..

God Talks To Me Di Rect...!
Space Aliens too ..

- There were a few times I needed one; ( Freind drove off on a Bicycle,
drunk,
going the wrong way )
- But he had his cell phone turned off & such,
so it wouldn'tve worked anyway

'Nother time someone else went hiking up the wrong trail, but there were no
repeaters, so we couldn't get service, etc.

Nother time, I done followed the wrong car ; it turned off; we all tried
calling each other & all got voice mail..

Cell Phones Just Suck !

- Carry FSR's; & some quarters..those work all the time

The majority of people that have them don't need them. It just gives them
something to do when standing in line at Wal-Mart.
