do i hate mobile phones? no really, i barely use mine, and the one thing that is of major use, the alarm, is something i can sleep through time and time again,
or the text reader who is just so important that they can't be out of touch while they are walking down the street. there variations on this are those who just stop in mid stride , regardless of how busy the street is. the texter who ambles up the underground's stairs even though it is quite busy they do their best tortoise impression just so their latest witticism gets sent straight away. let's not forget the texter who just stops on the stairs to text, oblivious of the tide of humanity that floods around them, because that text won't wait another 30 seconds.
the texter who isn't looking where they are going and the expectation is you will move out of their way.
oh listen to the user that has music on their phone (isn't technology great) but they have no ear phones, no worries as they are certain everyone is keen to hear that they have a shit taste in music.
or the customer who has reached the till, still continues with their conversation even though it means they can''t hear the cashier, can't get their money out and take twice as long to pack their bags. hey no worries i am sure it was important, and not just about how drunk you got last night.
or the game player who hasn't turned off the sound so we all get the pings, zings and kapows. and i understand because when you are playing bejewelled or some such the game sounds are crucial.
yes mobile phone users i am no fan of you!
mobile phone users? well that is a whole different ball game, boy oh boy do i hate most of them.
there is user with the incredibly loud ring tone that in times of national emergency could double as a warning siren, but is aways buried away in the bottom of a bag so we have to hear the loud tones several times over.
there is the user who has to speak as loudly as possible so that everyone else is intimately aware of the conversation, because we need to know what is going on in their life. if we are really lucky the other side of the conversation will be on speaker so we get the full flavour. joy.
