I copied it from a website

It does sound more like douche when you hear the song though.

I only use the cell phone for short reminder calls ("Did you? Are you? Don't... Remember to... Can you..." like Space) or when I need to meet up with someone. I don't understand how chicks can spend like hours on those damn things. I don't think I've ever talked on a cell phone for more than five minutes at one time.

My other use for it is to play Snake. Great game.

[Dis]

yeah snake rules. I played the old version on an old Nokia phone I had 4 years ago. But I suck at it compared to most people. I used to think my scores were pretty good too.

But my crappy Nokia phone now doesn't have snake . The only game that looks interesting is bowling. But I suck at it. The instructions are useless. My ball still ends up going into the gutter half the time.

you guys turn your phone off during sex??? do you schedule said sex? 7pm on wednesday? or do you just stop in the heat of the moment and be like "hey, hang on a second, i have to turn off my phone" ??? where's the PASSION!?!?!

[DeathByTheSword]

first of sometimes i use my cellphone for sex

secondly i cant remember how i met people in the city without a cellphone...i think it was something about being on time or something

thirth i use is as a radio

fourth i use it a my agenda...i can never bring myself to write something down but typing goes very well

fifth i only turn it off in a cinema or if i go out for dinner with somebody 'special' like a girl, parents or work

One to two calls a week.
5 to 10 text messages a day.
Phone only gets turned off in places like hospitals, other than that, it's on silent when discretion is required.

It's "deuce", Diss. As in "Little Deuce Coup." Think of it as: "Revved up like a car, another runner in the night."

I have my phone on vibrate as a matter of course - it's probably been over a year since I heard my cell phone ring.

I have a Samsung SPH-a740 camera phone. It's pretty much my primary phone now, though we keep the landline 'cause it makes the wife feel better.

I don't use text messaging, have never bothered using the web/data services other than when I got the thing and wanted to try it out. Sophie loves for me to take pictures of her and show them on the screen.

I was stunned to find out that you're charged for ringtones - who the hell in their right mind would pay $2.99 for the 3-month "right" to have a music clip as their ringtone?

I only have a cellphone because landlines are ridiculously expensive over here if you rarely use them. I mostly use my phone as a landline: it's always on but almost always connected to the adapter (so effectively it isn't even cordless most of the time). I rarely take it with me when I go out, only when I'll be with other people in crowded places where it's easy to lose sight of each other, or when I expect I might be delayed on my way to a meeting (e.g. when traveling by public transport and having multiple connections).

I don't use any extra features like messaging, photography, etc -- in fact, I bought the cheapest phone on the market and doubt it supports most of those features.

IMO phones are usually intrusive and unpleasant to use, so I avoid them whenever possible. I prefer either email/IM or meeting people in person.

[JohnT]

Well, my landline (with 300 long-distance minutes/month), cable internet, and digital cable TV (500 channels and nothing is on!), all cost $129/month in total.

[Locutus]

Hah! I only pay about €60 for the same services (minus the landline of course, and I think I 'only' have 90 channels or so, but it's not like I'm waiting for more Armenian or Uzbek channels )

[JohnT]

So you don't pay the same for the same services.

[Flubber]

I carry my cellphone most of the time but turn it off when I get home in the evening. I also turn it off in meetings, restaurants and movies. 90% of my calls are to and from my wife to coordinate with each other.

As for during sex, a ringing phone wouldn't distract me that much although if you are wanting a longer peaceful romantic evening, its better to just autoforward calls or turn off the ringer or something.


WE still have a landline, mainly for the very very cheap long distance. Since all of our family and some of our friends are a continent away, we make a lot of long distance calls. It might work out slightly cheaper overall if we ditched the landline, but it wouldn't be significant

We turn the cell phone off BEFORE we have sex with someone. DUH!

Just excuse yourself from the person for a minute, or if you already have your cell phone on hand, take the 15 seconds to turn it off right there, then go at it with the guy.



Really, the things I have to explain to people these days.

[MrFun]

Oh and Space, I take back what I said -- I'm definitely not jealous of the type of phone you have.
