However, our one sightedness about things isn’t the WTH/F of the week. It is all the little annoy things these devices can do or more to the point what the annoy people do to make their toys more annoying.
Sure they are with it, they are hip, they are nifty, they are neat, they are cool, they are gonzo… maybe not gonzo … eh, well I suppose the right person could make it gonzo but more likely you’ll capture a gonzo rather than be gonzo. Thing is they are the thing to have and things your thing can do well that makes it a better thing …I think… and some have more than one thing, my thing one and my thing two and more.
Most of us are also accepting… dealing… trying to cope with the fact that these things are going to make noises and sounds that annoy the ever loving stuffing out of us and get on our very last nerve at times … but we calmly ignore these things because the doctor said letting the little things like that get to you is going to cause you to have a stroke and you need to not let that happen because it’s bad. Very bad (insert scolding doctor face)
So even if the phone in the cubical next to you… down the aisle … across the office… is playing the theme song to a science fiction movie franchise about a misunderstood knight in a futuristic iron lung you have to let it go. Even if it plays the wheezy mechanized breathing of the before mentioned black knight 50 bazillions times a day … you must stay calm.
I’m sure there a plenty that play other equally annoying things too and even some you may enjoy the first twenty or so times you hear them but after one of their idiot friends or their kid has spam dialed the person for the 5 millionth time, even your favorite song will spin you into a homicidal rage.
My point isn’t the music and cutesy ring tones
It’s the idiots using the devices. So here are some rules you should follow when using your toy/device/phone
First - It should be with you always that way when your idiot friends call you, you can hit the ignore button so we don’t have to hear the phone ring and how else are you going to drop it the toilet if you don’t take it in there with you.
Second – If you call someone and they do not answer the first time. Do not call them again on the same phone. I’m sure you really must think well they just can’t hear the phone ringing because if they know it is me call they will answer. Sorry cutey-kins they are ignoring you or unlike your idiot self they have things to do and your whacha doin? Call isn’t ranking as important right now. They will call you when they have time to call you or they just don’t like you. Either way you should probably find something else to do with your thing like play one of the gazillion apps on the thing
Third – No matter how anxiety ridden you are do not call that person again for at least another hour. Unless you are a parent trying to call your kid then spam the hell out of them most likely they have their ear buds in a listen to some other portable device you bought for them too and they just haven’t heard, seen, felt your phone call yet. Yes felt they all vibrate now so you can feel them … I’m not certain that it’s proper usage but that isn’t really a sticking point for me.
Forth – When you down load your ring tones do not apply them for income calls … I don’t want to hear … Please enjoy the music while your party is reached…insert song that only the person owning the phone enjoys … I do not want to hear that crap and no one else does either… so stop it and cut it the hell out.
Fifth – If some one is talking to you face to face 90 percent of the calls you get are going to be secondary to the person who is in front of you. Now I say 90 percent because it could be an escape call, it could be one of your kids, your spouse generally trumps the person in front of you… well unless you are with your other significant other … well that’s just uncomfortable for everyone.
Sixth – if you are with someone else and you take the call let them know why you have to take it .. It’s my kid, wife husband, mistress …expect a slap if you say that last one to your wife or husband. But it lets them know why you are not talking to their face when their face is in your face.
Seventh –when you get a call with your annoying as hell ring tone that you only like and you are in public answer that shit right away no one wants to hear it and if you have an annoying ring tone the only time you are likely to get a call is in the one place you don’t want to hear LMFAO singing, Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle dance like the Holocaust Museum. …Awkward
Eighth – I forget what eight was for
Ninth – it is only a thing it is not a way of life and if you are spending more time playing with your phone / device rather than interacting in reality with other people except of communication devices you’ll find that you won’t really have people to hang out with who aren’t talking to other people who aren’t with you at that moment.
Tenth – don’t talk really, really loud or even keep taking that personal call around your friend or remain in the office if your call is going to be more then an minute. No one wants to be a part of your drama… and its’ all drama to people not involved in it so no matter how important it may be talk softly or go somewhere private.
So for firetruck sake put the things/devices/phones away and talk to someone or do something with your hands you may find there are better toys out there in the world
That’s all for now, other stuff tomorrow

ReplyDeletethe rock it to the bang bang boogie say up jumped the boogie to the rhythm of the boogie, the beat" all of that playing while I am trying to get the phone out of my pocket while having blood sucked out of my arm. Lesson learned.
