I am SO not a phone girl. I don't like talking on the phone; I don't like answering the phone and I most certainly do not like being tied to a phone. I'd rather e-mail someone than call on the phone. I know that it makes sense for me to carry a cell phone in case of an emergency, etc; but I don't have to like it.
Archie fusses at me all the time because I don't answer my cell in a timely manner or more often then not, I forget to take the darn thing with me. I have never texted in my life and I could care less that the new iPhone lets you download movies while you're in the bathroom.
Get connected? Bah! Get unconnected!
I dream of the day when I'll be able to toss ye old cell phone out with the trash (which incidentally has already been attempted by Tucker [good job baby!]). I know that more than likely that day will never come, but a girl can dream.
Thank goodness that Silas is getting old enough to answer the phone and he can on occasion even manage to take a message.
It's not that I don't love talking to people; I do. It's just that for such a convenience item; the telephone sure does seem to be an inconvenience.
Eh, I don't like talking on the phone either. I love caller ID though.
ReplyDeleteSalesman? Not home.
MIL? Not home.
Someone asking for money? Not home.
I am so anti-phone, it's not even funny. I wish I could talk into the phone and have stuff transcribed for me to a text, because I hate texting too!
ReplyDeleteGod Bless You!! So nice to see I'm not the only one. Aaron's phone is surgically implanted in his leg-he gets so bugged that I don't constantly have mine on my person. Or even turned on for that matter.....
ReplyDeleteI'm the same way. I got my first text message a few months ago and didn't know what the heck to do. So I sent an email to the girl who texted me.. Mark gets very frustrated with me as well for not answering the cell. I never hear it ring and most of the time it doesn't ring. I prefer to email people and then talk with them face to face!
ReplyDeleteI hate being tied down on the phone...like when someone really long winded calls you and just will not stop talking! I just recently started texting and I love it!! You can have a conversation at your own pace and get a quick answer from someone with talking on the phone for an hour! You should try it...you might actually like it!
ReplyDeleteThat is probably my husband's biggest gripe... I never answer my phone. I have to admit I do love texting though. I can get straight to the point & send him jokes throughout the day via text.
ReplyDeleteI used to always leave my phone behind, but now I can read blogs on my phone so I have to admit that has encouraged me to bring it with me more often.
Bah! We can't be friends anymore Lisa. ;)
ReplyDeleteI don't do texting though. Just cannot see the point. And I don't actually know the number on my cell, so it is used purely for outgoing calls. Ray tried to call me on it about 2 weeks ago and it took him 2 tries to get through, because I had no idea it was ME who was ringing. LOL!
GIRL! Me, too....I usually return phone calls instead of answering when called.
