Rant - cellphones!
by ShahAlmost all of us have a cellphone/handphone/PDA, and the so-called cellphone experience is being ‘nuked’ by cellphone companies, adverts, and even by ourselves.
Points to take note of:
1. Talking to someone about something intimate in public.
Gosh, it’s so weird and disgusting (ewwww) to bear listening to someone gabbing about the sexual olympics of the previous nights. I don’t care about these. Keep these ‘convos’ private, for crying out loud. Else, you may have to bear hearing me laugh @ your mere performance in those olympics!
2. ‘Convo’ interrupted due to lack of credits.
People, keep your account filled. It totally sucks when a conversation is dropped due to the lack of credit.
3. Interrupting a face to face convo to pick up the phone/
This one sucks! Never pick up the phone when talking to, or chatting with me. If you do, I’d want to throw my ‘mouserang’ (like the Batman’s batrang but with my mouse) at you. If it’s truly urgent, then do inform me about the urgency of the call first. E.g Oh, my boss is calling me. It’s probably about me screwing up at something. If it’s a frakin’ friend calling, don’t pick up unless you feel lowly of me.
4. Gabbing about cellphone plans.
Watch the video below.
5. Buying a phone and selling it at the buying price because it has been revamped.
Dude, if you’re going to sell me a used phone even if it has extra features, it’s still frakin’ used. Refer to Foamy’s video (above.) - selling a used product has become like getting married to a divorced woman who wears makeup and blings which are extras. A divorced woman is a pre-fucked woman. Why would someone waste so much resources in fucking a pre-fucked woman, when younger women whose requirements are not as extravagant are around? Meaning - Why would I need to be buy a cellphone which which has had its shit beaten out of it @ a high price? Lower the damn price.
6. Repeating the same thing over and over again over the phone. Imagine sharing an elevator with someone who is speaking over the phone and repeating the same sentence several times: “Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”…”Will you be picking me up?”
Won’t you want to beat the crap out of that person?!
7. Use of SMS Lingo. I don’t understand SMS Lingo. I prefer full english statements. Why? Read here.
8. ‘Texting’ while driving.
I used to do that a lot until I was enlightened. Don’t text while driving! I don’t frakin’ want to be involved in an accident caused by some idiot sending text messages while driving! Check this out.
9. Disturbing lectures, movies, and other live events in real life.
WTF is wrong with people who don’t turn off their phones during lectures, movies, and other live events in real life?! Do they know that they can ruin an entire theatrical scene - assuming the event is a theatrical play? If someone disturbs a play I’m attending, or the lecture I’m delivering, I’ll throw my show @ him/her and kick the frak out of him/her.
10. The frakin’ waiting time one has to endure before activation of certain services sucks! Recently, I had to enable web features incl. MMS and it had taken more than 48 hours (and I had to email the company bearing a fruit’s name, asking them to ‘kindly’ get things moving.) WTF?!
11. The frakin’ warranty about the removal of the OS sucks! I’ve a frakin’ hand phone running Windows Mobile and I can’t get rid of it! 
I do use it though for testing mobile apps over the .NET Compact Framework (thing I could have done on the frakin’ emulator!) WTF?!!! I want to be able to install another OS on my phone!
