Anyone who answers their phone when they are on a tram invariably says this. I am on a tram. And then they answer the question as to where they are.
I waited quite a while for a bus today to go into town, but as they are so quiet, it is my preferred travel vehicle. Ill sotto, or something like that.
I caught a tram home in a standing position. No seat for me. Some pre teen chick gabbling away on her phone about how poor she was. Umm, I can't afford to do fifteen minute mobile phone conversations. It costs too much. Obviously Daddy was paying.
Her loud pre teen conversation was really bugging me. Summer Bay, OC, dvds. I should have moved away. Before I knew it, I had five people talking on their mobile phones around me. I was surrounded, 3oo degrees, by people talking on their phones.
R gets home from work around four in the afternoon. It was four fifteen. He could have called me to find out where I was and make it a 360 degree circle.
Selfish prick went out for an exercise walk instead. Don't worry about me being surrounded by weird conversations. I would have looked who was calling, answered and said 'home in five' and hung up and it would have been free.
I just don't get this need to talk so much on mobile telephones. They are a convenience communication device and an sms instrument. If you want to talk a lot, you use a land line.
When I was young/Back in the old days, we had to make do with two tin cans and a bit of string, that is before we advanced to a party line telephone. For you kiddies, that was a shared telephone line between four houses.
I am an aged person struggling with modern manners.
Or perhaps a blond private school girl talking very loudly on her mobile phone and putting on a show really pisses me orf.
Pfft, now you're showing your age, you grumpy old shit.
ReplyDeleteA lot of the time it works out cheaper to talk on the mobile than the landline, particularly with some plans/deals offering free calls at certain times, or anytime if they are on the same network.
Personally, I do all my outgoing calls on the mobile, and the only reason I have the landline is so I can have ADSL. If that wasn't a requirement, I would have cut the thing off years ago.
I never get a call because my sister is the only one with the number and our calls are free. She usually just leaves a text message because it's half an hour for me to find the thing in the bottom of my bag. I don't want to know what's going on in some stranger's life, it's boring so Andy b can add me to the grumpy old shits list.
