Mine was when I threw mine at a lady in a theater, only because I forgot to turn mine off and went to grab it with popcorn butter covered fingers and managed to have the phone fly out of my hands....needless to say I do not go to that theater any more.

A study from Cambridge university got the number for a subway payphone and called it repeatedly at intervals of 15 minutes and after 20 calls, someone answered the phone on all 20 calls! Another from..I don't remember where...set 5 people in separate rooms that were basically just hotel rooms. TV, food, drink, bathroom, window view, books, magazines, and games. They had to stay in there for a week and were not told what the study was about except one thing. A lie was told to them that the phones belonged to another company and they would ring every so often but they didn't have to answer them. Scientists called each of their phones at the same time twice a day and didn't state anything over the phone. They just left it off of the hook. Out of the 70 calls they made to the tenants, 64 times the phones were answered, even after the people knew it wasn't important to answer the phone.
People these days...sheesh.
Sorry, don't really have a scary story so I thought I'd share some social science with you.

I have so far refused to step into the 21st century. Nope, I don't have a cell phone and don't plan on getting one. I just don't see the point especially with all the non-phone components they all come with now. I don't get along well with technology. If I got one it would probably sprout legs and run away from me out of frustration . . .
Wow, I admire you! Honestly, I wish I could toss mine aside. I always have it with me, because I can solve problems with its aid. But I've had a cell phone for only 3 years and I regret the time I did not own one. It was so lovely when nobody could disturb you in awkward moments :lol:
the thread of life lies severed on the brink of paradise.. .
