I could believe it, people get seriously addicted to their cell phones.

yeah that makes some sense, although crazy. people like businessmen get too addicted to their blackberrys and what not and are constantly worried about wahts going on in the business and stuff. my dad is kinda like that. but having your phone off causes more stresss.

Well that's one thing. Getting stressed out because you're not constantly connected is another.

I don't know, maybe it's just me but there are few things that bother me more than people that can't stop texting. I was getting coffee with this girl a few months ago and I had to just get up and walk out because she couldn't stop texting long enough to hold a decent conversation. It's just so goddamn annoying.

I used to get so uncomfortable when I forgot my cell phone somewhere. Mostly because forgetting my phone GUARANTEED my ex girlfriend would call and she'd be angry that I didn't answer her because I was avoiding her or something.
