Why do people wear cell phones on their hips?
Why do they insist on walking through a store, talking loudly for all to hear their conversation?
Why do people STILL[/i][/u] consider cell phones to be status symbols 20 years after their inception, especially considering that you can buy one at the Dollar Store for $9.99 ?!
Echo............your thoughts on this riveting subject?

Either way, it's not so much that I hate when people wear their cell phones on their hips (in those really chic and trendy black plastic holsters). It's more that I hate the TYPE of people that wear their cell phones on their hips.
Because it's always the same type of people. It's always the suburbanite, perfect house, picket fence, 2 blond haired blue eyed spoiled kids, wife that works because she's empowered with the thought that she, living in a cookie cutter house in a cul-de-sac, is better than a stay at home mother. These people wear khaki slacks and polo shirts to the grocery store where they buy everything pomegranate because that's what's "in" now and they can afford it working as "the guy that everyone hates at work".
They drive hybrids because, again, they can afford it and in their diluted minds it means they care about the environment when the only environment they know is side by side work spaces in a glass building on Main Ave. Oh, I forgot about the 20ft x 20ft back yard that's fenced off from their neighbors. The same neighbors that they pretend to love when they have them over for dinner... from Boston Market because neither parent had time to cook in between work and picking their kids up from piano lessons. But as soon as the neighbors leave they moan about the dog pooping on their lawn. That's because in their worry free convenient life where everyone has a cell phone hip holster, they have nothing better to complain about.
If my life were that worry free I'd become a serial murderer... and I'd start with my fake smile wearing wife and kids.

Cell phones in general suck.
Don't even get me started on text messaging... aka "texting".

I hate texting. That's all people do. Nobody has time to call and talk anymore.

Excellent synopsis on the cell phone craze Echo. I enjoyed it very much. I think one of the things that got me to noticing and being annoyed by cell phones on hips is when the preacher at a church I used to attend a few years back would wear his cell phone in it's holster when he went up front to deliver his sermon. The guy was just out of college, younger than me, and apparently thought a cell phone on the hip was cool. I was just sitting there while he was preaching, staring at the cell phone hip holster and wondering why he needed to be wearing it in church. Maybe he was expecting a call from God?

A preacher we had a while back kept his phone sitting on the pulpit. He said it was to keep track of time.It was just a coincidence he had the espn sports update thing on it.

Watches are cool too, for keeping time and all. But at least it sounds like that preacher was good at multitasking. I disagree with you on pockets though Bio, they're weak! We all know the pocket fad isn't going to last, at least not as long as cell phone holsters. P.S. If I can't find pants to wear without pockets, then I rip them off and wear pocketless pants. That way I can wear all my stuff on my belt: cell phone money clip huge keychain with multiple keys that don't go to any lock water bottle pocketknife pouch of bananas Or I could just wear a fanny pack like that Professor Toxic told us about a while back, but that wouldn't look as cool. Disclaimer: The above "P.S." was purely in jest. In fact, I wear nothing at all on a belt. I just see people like that from time to time and find it amusing. If you are one of those people.....then I apologize for finding you humorous

Ha! I showed that fanny pack wearing professor who's boss. I took his final and failed it miserably, I also had a "D" In the class. Well, he said he would let me retake the final later and just give me a C in the class for temporary reasons. Well, I never showed back up to that school and transfered the credit as a C already. But there is only two reasons I would wear a belt.... 1.) Fancy dress occasion 2.)

Sometimes Melissa likes it when all I wear is a belt and then You should have bribed the guy with a pouch of bananas Tox I'm pretty sure the other day I saw a guy with a pager on his belt.....I didn't even know they still existed.
