Me too. I have a flip phone - although Verizon tells me that at the end of 2020, it will no longer be supported. Guess I should look into getting an old-fashioned land line again.
I go shopping for groceries every Monday. What I find annoying is all those women (yes, it is women in grocery stores) standing around, looking at their phones & getting in my way. I get into the store, do all my shopping without any phone & I am out of there. What I leave behind is all those women still standing there starring at their phones. What are they doing? Comparing the price of Corn Flakes with other grocery stores. They certainly don't seem to have a simple life. They should go home & stare at their phones & let me pass to get my shopping done ASAP.
Wows! Sounds like the cell phone companies are trying to force everyone to cut that landline & go cellular!Land line here in Cookeville Tennessee is like 60.00 a mouth.
Also very, very sad to see are little kids trying to get a young mother's attention while she is starring at & playing with her stupid phone. This tells me what is more important to that young mother; her phone but not her kids. Furthermore, if people want to check their phones in the grocery stores, it would be ok with me but why stand in the middle of the aisle? Another problem is some person checking their receit standing at the exit door. I have seen this many, many times over many, many years.I know what you mean about people using their phones while blocking the aisles. I see a lot of men on their cellphones in the supermarkets, most seem to be asking their wives which product to buy, etc. I never used the phone enough to be comfortable using it in public, when I do, I usually am aware of everyone around me and I try to stand off to the side somewhere so I don't get in anyone's way. I never have felt connected to my phone, but I do see people who can't even take a walk in the dog park without yacking on their phone (or texting), they don't watch what their dog is doing and definitely aren't enjoying the peace of Mother Nature.
