25% of the people you see on cellphones aren't actually talking to anyone..hahaha
 

Just read that in a local paper here in town....

I can say that I have spent drunk nights with a phone to my face and my wife is like "who are you talking to?" and I had no clue the phone was to my face

NoWheRe's friends once was talking on the phone... and then suddenly, it rang !

HAHAHA, so true, dude i see people driving past me in my town all the time mouth closed, and phone to their face, i think its about being "cool" now, i got a cell, but i hate being on it, only for people to contact me... i've had it for almost a year and a half, and i have a total of 32 hours of total talk time on it...

yup, always remember to turn off the ringer before you pretend to call somebody.

:1orglaugh you mean they are just holding their phone just to look busy or popular ?

ive always thought that as well..lol

oh fuck, that is awesome

pretty much I guess

and lets not forget that 49.87% of all statistics are made up :)

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

yes, but 45.56% of my cock is hard right now

That's disturbing lol. I don't know why people are so obsessed with cell phones. We use ours like 5 mins a month.

you and me both...i HATE the phone...I probably am on it like 30 minutes total a month

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh
:Oh crap :helpme

I saw a guy walking pretending to be talking to someone on his cell a few days ago, then all of a sudden the phone rang... What an insecure type!

I dont think they are bragging about owning a cellphone (they would be a few years too late with it)

imo they are just trying to look popular or important

Nah, they're insecure, they don't know where to put their hands, how to walk, they're so wary of what others will think of them that they decide to take the easy route and pretend they're talking to someone, so at least one arm is covered, and so is their facial expression, and they feel better at ease...

yup, and being on the phone limits how much contact you have to have with others

It's funny to see the American market is by far not as deeply penetrated with cell phone use as the European and Asian is.

Sharp, very sharp...

you sure that just doesn't mean 25% of people you see are calling someone, but no one has picked up yet? this seems more logical to me. obviously you're not talking to anyone if you're waiting for someone to answer or checking your voice mail.

i got rid of my cell....and am only available on landline...feels good

if I am on the road I can still be contacted via e mail in a timely manner...

nah, it basically say that 25% of people with cell phones to their head are not even connected to anything

i only use my cellphone for SMS i hate calling people lol

So how did they come to that conclusion? People admitted to it?

I do this a lot. Seriously, when I am out somewhere and see someone I don't want to talk to, I place the phone up to my face.

I would have believed this statistic in 1986 for people showing off. It's pretty pathetic if someone fakes a cellphone conversation nowadays.

I'm nearly the opposite...I used to hate sms cause I was always nervous if the recipient got it :1orglaugh Nowadays I'm used to send messages, but I still prefer calling somebody.

That's why everytime I go to say hi you're always on a call!
WG

No bullshit, when I was a bartender at Rumjungle in Vegas, we had this crazy guy at the bar , tipping very well, but after a few shots, he literally took off his shoe and started talking on it, just like Maxwell Smart.
Swear to God!
It freaked us out, but we kept serving him.

I see women doing that all the time, at bars when they are alone. (faking a phone conversation).
Especially when it looks like they have been stood up, or the guy is late.

I've done that... makes the casual wave without stopping sort of thing easier.

Sometimes I pretend to be on a call so I can stop in the street and look at some fine ass or something.

I bet the number of people with headphones on and nothing playing is higher. I'll leave my headphones on even if my batteries are dead when i'm on the subway or whatever so I can ignore all the freaks. :1orglaugh

that's sad. lol

If that's really true, that's pathetic.

I don't even have a cel phone. If you can't reach me at home, I'm busy. :)

am i the only one who hates cell phones? me being 20 has to deal with dumbasses my age all day who are constantly on the phone every 10 minutes. either their phone is ringing, they're talking, or texting. not to mention my dumbass friends who if they can't get ahold of me decide to blow my shit up with 20 calls in rapid succession and not leave one message.

i would smash teh fucker if it wasn't a $300 phone.

I have friends tell me to stay on the phone longer while they walk into a club, I'm like fuck you and hang up.

I prefer text for sure.

i fucking hate phones, ive lost or broken about 8 phones in my life already since i was 11. I think they cost loads and once you see the profit they make on pay as you go, you realise just how much you are wasting. but i doubt the number is %25.

i saw a man in macdonalds once in a suit chatting on his mobile phone and it rang lol , imagine that trying to look cool in a suit in macdonalds. hahaha.

Women do this a lot when they are walking alone especially at night. They figure if someone see's they're on the phone #1 they're less likely to get hit on and #2 less likely to be abducted.

but what about batteries?...why would u pretend to use cellphone and drain the batteries

thats pretty funny lol :1orglaugh

Id believe that! Who needs to talk so much? :Oh crap esp those asses on the highway :321GFY

defense mechanism..... back the fuck off, i am busy.

No, I don't like them either. People call each other several times a day now... for what? I've always been a short and to the point type person, so the constant gab just to gab concept goes totally over my head.

People used to get on fine without cell phones. Now people can't seem to leave the house unless they have it with them.

"oh no, we must turn back, i left my cell phone on the table!"

Pisses me off...

hehe.. this is an old european disease, now I see it's spreaded in US too...

I saw few times here too people talking on the phone, then the phone rang - they were scared as shit :D

but this was like 5-6 years ago

They've done studies, you know. Sixty percent of the time, it works every time.

I know celebs and sports people do it when there are tv crews around so they dont get questions fired at them, but why anyone else would do it I don't know...:Oh crap
