Bloody cell phones.....

Bloody cell phones.....who'd have 'em
Well unfortunately, me. As you will get to know later, I am a realtor so cell phones hold a very special place in my heart and in my wallet. People think nothing of calling at 12 at night or 6 in the morning as if they really think that I am waiting for their call at those times. People seemed to show more deference and respect to the old fashioned 'ring ring' home phone, apart from telemarketers. Now anything goes.

And texting. Kids today, all they do is text each other, usually at 10c per message. Why don't you just bloody well phone that person...you can say an awful lot more in a shorter time than you would by texting. What is the bloody point.

So, anyway...you go to plenty of meetings and seminars as a Realtor and because of the nature of the profession, in a room of 100 Realtors, about 85 of them will be women. Ah..but not only women, but woman with purses or as I say handbags....but not only handbags but big deep handbags. And what do they have at the bottom of the handbag buried under all that crr..sh...junk...but their bloody cell phone...but not only a bloody cell phone but a cell phone with the most loudest and most annoying ring you could imagine.

And, yes, that effing cell phone just has to keep on ringing until she digs it out and she seems totally impervious to the other 99 people around her, honestly believing that we and the lecturer really do care about what groceries hubby has to pick up on the way home and whether little jimmy should go to school today because he's got a sniffle. Un effing believable.

Cell phones have made us dangerous on the roads, ignorant to others around us, incapable of having an uninterrupted meal and generally impared the fluidity of modern society far more than the television ever did. At least you don't take a television to a seminar in your purse.
Does it happen to male realtors.....of course not...we don't carry handbags.

The sad thing is I am stuck with it...and addicted to the bloody thing and......
think it's one of the best things ever invented. Not unlike Walmart really.
