What did we do before mobile phones?!

Argh. I've managed to leave my mobile and wallet at home today, now I'm stressing out in case someone needs to get hold of me. I say 'someone' what I mean is 'my neighbour' (Stig isn't well) or 'mum' (waiting on family news).

 

I'm trying to convince myself that people managed before mobile phones and one day will be fine... Halp!

I hate my mobile, I hate being contactable. I very rarely reply to text messages & calls, I wish we could go back to a time without them

 

I'm in total agreement with you. I hate them. I hate that people now feel the need to ring each other over the most inane things. I hate ringtone adverts. I hate the exorbitant rates. I rarely reply to texts. I hate txt spk too.

 

I wouldn't mind an iPhone though.

 

Mobile phones are handy in an emergency but not if you have to switch them off at work even though taking personal call on the company phones is frowned upon.

Precisely.

 

My old phone was the cheapest of the cheap, used for the occasional call and text but no more.

 

Mind you, picked up the iphone last week and it is awesome :D (however, this is because of the features that makes it different to a bog standard telephone :))

We put 2p coins into red phone boxes.

 

But how do you know the number without looking it up in your mobile phones memory?? :D

 

Actually, it is a bit scary. I used to know every single one of my friends and families numbers off by heart. I can still remember some of them actually... not that they are current anymore of course...

The second one.

 

Problem is neither my neighbour or my mum has my work number... and I don't have their numbers without my mobile... ex directory too, apparently. I'm thinking there is a lesson to learn from this. I'll be putting my work number on the whiteboard in my kitchen just in case!!

 

Nothing I can do short of driving home and back again, and that is not going to happen!! :(

Do you know the phone number or email of anyone else that would have your mum's number? (Sibling etc)

 

I could email her, but thinking about it, it's not like I'd be able to 'do' anything anyway, I'm actually more worried about Stig, he didn't even want his breakfast and he's NEVER refused food in 3 years :S

I agree with all of this except for the i-Phone bit :).

 

Bane of the civilized world.
