Thread: Now this is funny

Wow!!! I thought I was the only one who didn't see the "necessity" of cell phones and all those other gadgets!!!!

True story. One weekend last summer I had agreed to help a guy set his engine and trans into his Camaro--his garage, his tools. Got there about 9AM Saturday. By 9:30 he'd stopped to answer his phone 8 times.... I left, didn't seem we had the same priorities.........

This is good! Really funny. Thanks for the LOL

It sure is nice to know others feel much the same as I do about this constant need for keeping in touch. We do have a GPS, a cell phone and a Sansa mP3 as well as my wife's iPod. I have no clue where the cell phone is nor the mP3. The GPS is in the box it came in. My wife - plays games on the iPod. She also has a Facebook account that she visits --- 2-3X a year. I wont do the Facebook thing. Two years ago I was contacted to go to my JUNIOR high reunion. What!!! I haven't seen most of those people in over 40 years ...... and most I couldn't stand then. They also wanted my Facebook access so "we could stay in touch". Yeah - sure. A couple even sent me emails trying to get me to go to their shindig.

Several of my grandchildren showed up with their latest electronic gadgets - and of course I had to at least appear interested.

It's hell almost being a semi-Luddite

I carry a cell phone for emergency only, the last time I used it was to take a pic of a part number in the field..didn`t have pen with me, I can count on one hand how many times I`ve used it in the last year for actual calls, and that was only because the misses wanted it, and as far as face book...the last person that asked me about gave a look as if I was crazy not to have a face book account..and my wireless phones..we have five, half the time I can`t even find one, and you hit the frikking pager button to find them then the base unit is so loud you can`t hear the phones or their dead.....
