The Daily Peeve / Rant

How can you say you hate something you've never used/aren't familiar with? What is it about smart phones that you are so determined to not want?

I’m not George but I can answer for me:


I hate my cell phone because the screen is tiny and I can’t do any real work on it. Currently I use it for emergency outgoing calls and GPS access when I’m traveling. I will sometimes give people my cell phone number but I tell them don’t expect to reach me on it because I don’t carry it and I don’t answer it.

Oddly, I get audio calls on my iPad devices. I’ve no longer try to figure out why that works sometimes.

I hate portable phones in general because they always have to be plugged in. Seems like every time I reach for it when I’m at home it’s out of juice. I did recently fix that though by having a multi port charger where all of my devices sit on the counter charging up.

When we move I will have to get rid of landline though and use a cell phone. But I will not use it for anything other than calls. Well, I do like texting so maybe I’ll use it for that.
