To whom it may concern (and I’m guessing there’s a lot of you),
I would like to apologize for my lack of prompt replies to your text messages. You probably think I’m a snob, which is a pretty girly thing to say, but I’m not. Well, I probably am, but not intentionally. You probably think that I don’t consider your messages important enough to warrant my precious time and attention. The lateness of my replies, if I ever do send replies, can be attributed to only one thing, and one thing alone: I HATE MOBILE PHONES.
OK, that’s too strong. Let me rephrase that: I’m not fond of always checking my mobile phone especially when I’m at home. Some of you may find this strange, maybe even retarded, but what are you gonna do? I hate checking my phone for new messages. I even hate hearing it ring or beep, that’s why I always keep it in “Meeting” mode. It’s actually more discreet than “Silent” mode in its default settings. Anyway, yeah. Don’t expect an immediate answer if you’re going to call me. Don’t think I’m blowing you off. I’m not. And don’t think I’m only doing it to you. I do it to everybody.
I’m more likely to use my phone to send updates to Twitter via PhTwitter than to send a text message to a friend or a family member. That’s just how I roll. I’m not being anti-social. Mobile phones just aren’t my thing. I’d bug you on Plurk, Facebook, or Multiply first before you hear from me through your mobile phone. That’s just how I’m wired.
Please understand, it’s not you. It’s me. I HATE MOBILE PHONES, ESPECIALLY YOUR STUPID PHONE WITH A LAME RING TONE! SERIOUSLY, WHAT PLEASURE CAN YOU DERIVE FROM LETTING EVERYBODY HEAR THAT STUPID SOUND BITE FROM YOUR STUPID FAVORITE CARTOON?! IT’S NOT EVEN FUNNY, YOU FUCKING SHOW-OFF!
Ahem. Yeah. Again, I apologize. I will try my best to reply promptly to YOUR IDIOTIC FORWARDED MESSAGES THA– sorry. I will try my best to reply promptly to your text messages and to return your calls in the remote chance that I miss them.
Regards,
Gino
I barely check my phone when Im home, either. Im always online and I dont keep my phone by my side so I forget about it.
OMG Helga, we're like sisters!
I find this entry to have a strange kindred spirit quality.
Sometimes I could go a whole day at home without looking at my phone, and the next morning I find my inbox cluttered with annoying Subscriptions, Corny Jokes and Inspirational Quotes messages.
And I hate ring tones. One of my coworkers has Sean Kingston's Suicidal as his ring tone. I want to kick him in the crotch everytime I hear his phone rings.
And don’t think I’m only doing it to you. I do it to everybody.

so comforting to know.
*roll eyes*
HEHE :P
Ditto to every word of this post. I hate checking my phone and the only time I do is to surf mobile web to m.twitter or plurk/m. And coz of this, my friends rather call my mom's phone to look for me. Weird. Hahaha. I never answer texts or answer phone calls. At the end of the day I have around 10 calls unanswered.. maybe I need a new phone? :-s
I think I overdid the "never" hahaha. I do answer texts and calls, just not all the time.
@Iya: I just might change my ways if you send me text messages. 8->
@Juice: What’s a new phone have to do with all of this? LOL
The old phone sucks that you're too tired of looking at it? Hahahaha. Theory. Bahaha.
I empathize with you, Nightdreamer. I had to put up with Soulja Boy’s howling. My co-worker had that message tone and he used to get messages five times a day.
