    According to this, many people have 2 phones and... (much to my surprise) 75% of people use the phone in the bathroom. Which explains why so many of you take so damn long when you afk for a bio break.

    I don't even have a mobile phone and I entirely resent having to get up to answer the home phone. :D

    I have 2 mobile phones (1 work, 1 personal), and the only reason it takes so long, is because a normal game of bejewelled takes 5-10 minutes...
     
  5. This.. lol.. or facebooking...
     
  6. I let my phone run out of batteries too often to be afraid.

    Same here! It also bugs the hell out of me when other people use their phones around me, don't know why that is though.

    <.< I let my phone go dead for days at a time usually. And I tend to get really cranky if my phone rings to much. . . almost to the point of throwing it. lol.

    Personally, I hate all phones. >.> /hermit

    I only care how accurate something is if it's boring or important. When it's funny shit... I just buy it.

     
  11. If I lost my phone, my FB and my emails I'd be so screwed. Man, just reminds me how procrastinated I am on my memory training D:

    So the sort a good serial killer likes, as it makes a good sound when it cracks a skull open?

    I can't go out without my phone. I feel completely helpless to call for help if I need it without it. True story.

    And yes. I probably duck into the bathroom at work more so than everyone else just to use my phone.

    90% of my phone usage is at work. If I am home, I leave it upstairs on the charger..then people get mad when I don't text back, lol


    My boyfriend feels I spend more time playing on or tweaking my phone than with him.
    Fuck. I'm typing this from my phone now!

    I always hated having a cell phone because people expect an immediate response when they message you. I used to keep my phone on vibrate and as soon as it vibrated it was in my hand. Now, I keep it on silent all the time, much to the chagrin of the girlfriend. It is so much nicer having it on silent.

    That phone cord would make an excellent garrote. Strong as hell, inconspicuous and easy to clean.
