I just spent about a four day period with one of my favorite cousin's about a month ago or so. We've known each other our whole lives, and we pretty much do everything together; but I hadn't seen her in awhile, so I was really excited to get to spend some time with her and do some girly-girl stuff (I live in house full of boys).

She cried near the end of the trip becuase her friend promissed to call her, but she never did. she had also been texting to her other friends, and waiting anxiously for them to reply back almost the entire trip... She says that her cellphone's her life, and that she wouldn't give up her cell phone for anything...

That there is going a bit too far for me. xD I could care less about my cellphone... I only use it durring the school days when I have to call my dad to know when he's going to pick me up, or to ask for homework assignments when I was sick. That's it.

So, disscuss:

~Do you know anyone who is obssesed with their cellphone?
~Are you obssesed with your cellphone?
~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
~Anything else you can gather from this topic. >.<

Most of the time, I don't even touch my cellphone. Actually, I loathe that little device because the only one that ever calls me is my mom and all she does is nag, nag, nag, and NAG. x.x

  • I actually rather dislike people like that.. I mean come on it's a phone.. sure you like talking with your friends but what about the ones you're ignoring when your reading text messages or writing them. It's so annoying.

    I'm not at all obsessed with my phone. Actually I hate phones in general.. I only have it if I need to get ahold of my mom or bus service... I sometimes text with my friend but that's rare usually. >.< And that's only when I'm alone and want someone to talk to.. I actually hate talking on phones.. but that's because I'm very very shy.

  • ~Do you know anyone who is obsessed with their cellphone?
    Erm. Well, my mom is. This may sound weird, but she is constantly texting to her mysterious boyfriend (I'm actually sure she has a lover outside her marriage with my Dad) and her friends from work. It's so annoying..

    ~Are you obsessed with your cellphone?
    I've got nothing to be obsessed about. My cellphone is from the year zero, so yeah. I can't do much with it, but my father likes taking pictures and saving it as background which I have to change back to my original every time I use my cellphone.

    ~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
    No, but I do text friends that are on a holiday. And when I'm going to school it's also easy, since me and my friends meet up next to the big clock of our village (it's huge. xD;; ) and sometimes get late. By texting we can tell each other to wait up.
    But no, I don't text that often. I prefer real life conversations. Or of course, forums.

    ~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
    Easy as hell. C: I wouldn't have been able to when I had a girlfriend I think.. I was constantly texting with her. xD;;

I've actually been neglecting my cell phone to the point two of my online friends got really upset/bummed out. u.u; I just... hate the telephone in general. I always have. :[

That said, no, I am certainly not obsessed with my cell phone. I have one in case of an emergency while I'm on the road. I tend to think it's a waste of money (for me) right now. I'd like to get one of those "pay as you go" phones, but the only ones in this are require a high monthly fee anyway. xD

  • I don't like talking on the phone, but I end up texting a lot.
    Even though I'm slow because the buttons on my phone are so darn small and close to each other. >.O
    Anywhoo, I love my phone. :]
    Especially when I'm nowhere near the internet because it's a chance for me to chat with my friends. And I don't usually hang out with my friends too much so I never get that awkward not paying attention to the friend standing right next to me deal. xD;
    Yesterday though, I was with a friend at her college orientation and she was at a computer marking her classes so I figured it was okay to go and text peoples. Then I'd pretend to tickle her when I put my phone down after a text. :D <3

I think I border on obsessive. I have one guy calling me about 5 times a day, I'm used to him waking me up in the morning and saying goodnight in the evening. I also need him to call to tell me what time he's coming down to see me. We don't see each other everyday, so the fact we can talk to each other whenever we feel like it is nice.
I also talk to my friends alot on the phone and I love to text. If I'm at the bus stop, on the bus, walking to meet friends, I'm texting usually.
I also store my music on my phone, and listen to it when I'm on the go.
And I'm a poser, and am constantly taking pictures of me and my friends.


So no, I don't think I could live without it for 4 days. As sad as that is.

Seeing as how I don't on a cell phone - No, I don't obsess.

It's ridiculous how much time people devote to texting and chatting. For me, I see my friends often enough as it is. Why do I need to write little messages in between? If I have something to say, I'll tell them the next time we get together. My world isn't going to come crashing down just because they didn't say 'hi' every 45 minutes.

I don't even own one, so that tells you how obsessed I am. lol...people always give me the strangest look when they ask for a cell number and I don't have one to give, but hey! Everyone survived just fine without them years ago. Sometimes it's nice to be able to just be away and not have that thing always pulling you back to everything. Granted, they are convenient.

I don't have a cellphone to be obsessed about.
I hate talking on the phone, and I'd rather type on a keyboard than fiddle about with tiny phone bits to send typed messages.
I quite like that when I'm out and about away from my land line that I can't be contacted. I'd hate to think that I can't go anywhere in peace without people bothering me over the phone >.<

    Yes, several people. It's so annoying. v.v

    Are you obsessed with your cellphone?
    Well, despite it being a kick-ass Motorola Razr V3 in a kick-ass color, no. ; D I think it's useless, and if I wanna contact someone I'll use my house phone or IM them.

    Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
    I barely ever text.

    Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for say, four days?
    I can do much more than that!

~Do you know anyone who is obssesed with their cellphone?
Surprisingly, you see I live in a tiny little hick town that contains 200 Kids, 500 Adults, and 800 Senior Citizens. But 150 of the 200 kids have cell phones, 100 of which being under 13. All 500, except for a few, adults have a cell phone, and none of the elders have cell phones... But anyway back on track -- 125/150 kids are on their cell phones 24/7, even during class. So yes, I know several people.

~Are you obssesed with your cellphone?
I would be if I had a sidekick... but I'm poor so no.

~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
No, I text 100 times a month tops.

~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
Four days? It depends what I'm doing. The only reason I have a cell phone is so my parents can call me when they want me to come home. Other than that yeah, totally.

~Anything else you can gather from this topic. >.<

~Do you know anyone who is obsessed with their cellphone?
Yes I do...I live in a rapidly growing city and so I ALWAYS see people on their cellphones. Be it driving, in class, or running the lake trail....always a cellphone.
~Are you obsessed with your cellphone?
Nope not at all, in fact I hate talking on the phone in general.
~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
No way, only if one of my friends texts me. I reply back....no huge long conversations of OMG.
~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
Probably, since all my friends know my home number XD

I mostly hate my phone. I have a slight feeling (okay, a LOT more than slight) that my parents only bought it to bug the living shit out of me. Every day they call me a million and one times about what time I'm coming home, where I'm at, what I'm doing, what I should be doing, and what I haven't done. It makes me twitch sometimes, and just the other day when I was at my boyfriend's house, and my mum called, I threw the phone across the room and started complaining about it. But I guess that'll change sometime soon, because right when I get a job, my boyfriend and I are getting a phone plan together on a different company than my parents have and we're going to be splitting the bill. I'm twenty, there's no reason my parents should be so damn annoying anymore. That's supposed to be a high school teen sort of thing. >|

Really I could live without a cell phone, but every so often it's important since I'm out more than I'm at home, and if someone has to call me because of an emergency, I want them to be able to contact me. And sometimes I'll have last-minute plans to go somewhere or do something, so I can call whoever I need to no matter where I'm at so they can come with. So it's really handy, but it's just not absolutely necessary. I don't have texting, I got that disabled because it was annoying and I don't want to be paying for other people sending me messages as well as me sending messages out. If they need me, they can call. Not text.

~Do you know anyone who is obssesed with their cellphone?
Yeah, about 2 people...
~Are you obssesed with your cellphone?
Nah, it's hardly even on, only when I go out for a few days or something, or
without my boyfriend. If people want to call me, they can call me on my home phone. Elwing Phone Home @[email protected]

~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
Hell no, I got other things to do! Why would I text all the time? If I'd see my
friends, I've got nothing to talk about if I do that all the time.
And on top of that, I don't have the money for it.

~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
Like I said: It's hardly even on.

Well I have a friend who sends text messages even when we are watching
a movie, then she is sending to boys or w/e. One day, I was watching a movie
with her and her sister, and my boyfriends, and she suddenly started to cry =/
She was actualy texting a friend who she had a fight with, trying to figure it
out with him while watching a movie. What the...

And another friend, we were shopping. So we were walking, and I was talking
to her, and suddenly I hear: "hello? Yeah. yeah. Hi. Yeah. I know. Haha."
So I was like: "Uhm what are you saying?"
And then I saw her on the phone -_- I did not even ear the darn thing!!
She could also say: "Hold up, my phone."

Or my boyfriend. Darn it. Always, when we are gonna watch a movie, something
on television, or even during dinner, his stupid, I repeat, STUPID
cellphone rings!! Darn those cellphones sometimes!!!

  • K I know some people may judge me for this, but I got my cellphone just because everyone else was getting one and I felt left out. Now I know that's a terrible reason, so I no longer just buy stuff to fit in. XD Learnt the hard way wasting 800$ on a plan?

    I never use my cellphone really. Don't go out much, don't have friends who want to talk.

    But all my friends are constantly using their cells and texting. XD

Yes, and it drives the hell out me.
Especially when people talk on their phones, at the top of their lungs, in a place like a restaurant. It's rude and annoying.

~Are you obssesed with your cellphone?
I don't have one.

~Do you text all the time? Almost nonstop?
I've never texted anyone anything in my life. :shock:

~Would you be able to survive without your cellphone for, say, four days?
I've survived fourteen years, I don't see why not four days.

Same here, don't feel ashamed. xP
I took a cellphone because all my friends at school had one, and I wanted
one too. I've had 3 cellphones, and the 3th one I have now is about 6 years old. XD

My mom can be soo annoying sometimes. She is ALWAYS on the phone. I have friends who's phone is their life. My life more revolves around my I-pod (Music is my life w00t).

I personally could care less about my cell phone. Sure it's nice when I need my parents to pick me up and let them know where I am but that's about it. Oh well I do call my one friend on it but not til after 9:00 when we have free minutes.

Texting is stupid. I hate it when my friends send me stupid texts. Some have started to send me chain texts :evil: .

I could survive weeks without my cell phone. Sure I just got a new one for my birthday but it's not all that important

  • ...I cringe when I see how this society can't survive ten seconds without a phone attached to their ear. All of my roommates have been obsessed with their phones. They couldn't go an HOUR of their waking hours without calling or texting someone. (Add the fact that my current one has the sound on full blast...:x So it's a constant beep-beep-boop-beeeeeep)

    Cell phones, good for emergencies. Handy to communicate when you need to pass on some information. Annoying when you're in line behind a chatty customer who tells the person at the register to hold it because the call is SO important. Disgusting when they insist on talking while driving.

    I have had my cell for almost a month...and honestly, I barely notice I have it. I touch it mainly to charge it. I have made a few emergency calls and a quick text since I didn't have a computer at hand. I'll hate myself if I can't function a day without it...:<
