Default Damn smart phones

I was thinking today that I am addicted to my damn iphone. You know its bad when your one year old hands you your phone when you leave it somewhere. So.. my challenge to myself is to put it on the hutch and leave it there unless my husband calls or texts ( he's gone for 3 days for work)..

Anyone else have this same addiction?

I'm about to ban my gf's from my car. As in, she will not even transport it in my vehicle.

And another thing, there is absolutely nothing that you have on your phone that I want to see. Ever. If I were interested in apps I'd have a smart phone. ( Not at you Sherri)

I'm getting tired of Tracy's as well. As soon as it makes a noise she goes into another world. It seems to make noise everytime I'm speaking.

People who cant take their eyes/attention off them for 2 seconds get annoying in a hurry. And, yes, I do have one. No, I'm not going to now say "I only use it as a clock and in case of emergency" but I got along just fine without it and could easily go back to that.

You smartphone whore.


I'm thinking of getting off of smartphones. $100 a month is just too much.

I honestly want to throw my husbands in a pissy toilet some days, he's always on it, I think more than I am.

I have to admit that I am guilty of reading juicy posts from a forum I belong to to him, I can even see his eyes glaze over sometimes..lol

I use it to multi-task because if I'm not doing 3 things at once I go freaking insane.

I myself have 2 of them. And I don't mind. They help me be more organized with life and that's something I love doing.

I use mine when Im bored and when I need one of the apps for something but when Im home I mostly just answer text messages now and then. At night I dont even keep it in my bed room, I never understood people who wake up to answer text messages.

This the whole reason I never got into smartphones.

I put my phone on "alarm only" at night. Some people don't understand the world doesn't revolve around them so they send text messages whenever they feel like it. They figure that you must be awake since they're awake at 2am. I have to work. I don't want to be woken up by my damn phone beeping just because some jackass sent me a text at 2am.

However, I do wish there was a way to only let certain phone numbers cause your phone to ring, simply in case of emergency.

My phone is always with me. Its great to have when I'm waiting for a loading dock to back into. I have my BBM, text, Internet, Facebook, Twitter and I would have Google + if they had something for Blackberries.
