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?

[chuckle]

I've never even /used/ one.

However, my wife has one and still even has the analog "bag phone" she has
had for many years.


And I even like the people at my local (Vicksburg, Mississippi US) RadioShack
store even though I tell them how bad the RadioShack website is (apparently,
they've mentioned it - once or 500 times) to their District Manager.

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"
