See in an adult household if I’m going out I do ask if she needs anything. 9 out of 10 times we go together so I don’t need a cell phone. Same if she goes out.
Point being is I don’t need a cell phone glued to my ass or have conversations with pieces of equipment laying around my house.
My friends don’t call me friend, they call me brother because we served together and they know I would do anything for them anytime and vice versa and we stay in touch all the time.
Other people are just that, other people.
“and they know I would do anything for them anytime”
Except being courteous to them?
” 9 out of 10 times we go together so I don’t need a cell phone.”
I can lose my wife even in Costco! I can call or text “Where are you?”
At outdoor discount malls I can track her a meet her where needed
IF I drop her off she can let me know when she is checking out and she can also locate me when either parked or possible in a nearby store
Often< while shopping and come across a possible item I can go online for reviews and price checks
“9 out of 10 times we go together so I don’t need a cell phone.”
Last week I had the battery in my 2019 car failed. I pulled out my phone, opened my insurance app and clicked on road service. Help was on the way. Then called wife and said I would be late for lunch.
Cellphones are so helpful I don’t understand bias against them.
