I don’t even own a cell phone....LOL....
I retired as a senior engineer from a HUGE world wide company.
Before I retired, one of the vice presidents and my immediate manager were in my office when the VP’s cell phone rang...he looked and said he didn’t need to take the call...I told him I didn’t own a cell phone...
He looked at me funny and asked why??
I pointed at my boss and then at him and said, “So him and you can’t call me...”
He thought for a second and then said, “You are the smartest man I know...”
I got my first a few months ago
Neither do I.
I keep track of the number of times I have said to myself, "Gee, I really wish I had a cell phone right now." In 2015, the number was 5. So far in 2016, the number is 2.
I own one but make maybe two calls a year on it. It’s mainly for emergencies. It came in handy when half our stuff got fried from a lightning strike last month.
I have a cell phone for roadside emergencies ONLY. Well, I do use it, as a clock, when waiting for someone and my watch is still at home.
I've used my cell phone for TWO roadside emergencies. THEY made it worth my while.
Lucky you! My husband desperately wishes he could trash his but his job requires it. Even when vacationing in Europe last summer, the idiots could not leave him alone. And of course, they thought nothing of emailing & texting him the day our daughter was born. All of their self-important BS. Drives me nuts
‘I don’t even own a cell phone....LOL....’
Me either. Sold the farm, only reason I had one was in case of break down or accident. Never learned to text and found out one day by accident that the thing had a camera on it. I feel like I am surrounded by zombies these days.
“”I don’t even own a cell phone....””
I do but it’s in my purse for emergencies. I use it to call the power company or cable company when we’ve lost all power. You will find that is the reason most senior citizens own them. We got our first one for traveling from CA to GA 10 years ago when we moved. Have never seen the need otherwise. I dislike the phone ringing in the house as it is without having a chain to drag around which is what they are IMO. I recently had to get a new phone as the technology in the old one was no longer supported - one advertised on TV - and pay $10 per month and that’s for something I probably won’t use more than 4 times a year.
I’ve blocked the maximum number of phone numbers to our landline allowed by our phone company (48) last month and so far in June and now I have to delete some to be able to add more. The most ever. Our phone company allows us to enter a code to add the last number calling on the blocked list without having to go through their procedure. I love it.
Did I get off the subject? Of course. That’s what we old folks do!
I don’t own one either .
