Dag Cell Phone!...noooo....
2005-02-23, 4:30 PM #1
Ok...soooo...Im def. not the type to give a guy my number unless we are friends. Something has always bothered me about meeting a guy and giving him my number.

Well the other day (sunday) I'm working it was a slow night and I'm closing box. So this guy comes up and OMG he was so damn cute! Now, norm. guys have hit on me, asked for my number etc, but this is the first guy who I was thinking "oh I have to talk to this guy" So he starts to talk and has this thick Louisiana accent. He's so cute!

So he had brown hair and blue eyes and was just adorable. He said he left his ID in Jersey and when I asked if that's where he was from he goes "I know I dont sound like it, it's just I got that Louisiana in me" and gave me this big smile. (I melted!)

So I asked how long he'd be in town, and he said till wed. and I said if he ever came to FL again to come to the theatre. (yes, it was weak) So as he walked away from the box office I thought "crap! you should have given him your number!" so I wrote it down and said to myself "if I see him again, i'll give it to him, if not, it wasnt meant to be" So around 10 (the time his movie was going to start) I had to go on break, when I got down he was nowhere in site, so I kinda sighed but kept the number I wrote down in my pocket.

So later that night a coworker had asked me to go out with him for drinks after work and since I got off before him I was waiting, but never figured I'd still be around when the guy got outta his movie, but low and behold Jeff took so long that I saw him!

So here he comes, down the escalator all by his lonesome and i'm thinking "dont stare, play it cool, deep breath, just do it) so at that same moment some other customers see me and go to ask me a question so I walk towards the exit...the same direction he's heading and he looks at me, so I wave him over. Dun dun dunnnn.

So I pull out the number and smile at him and timidly go "I wanted to give you my number, I think you are really cute" and he gave me a smile and hugged me and was like "my name is taylor by the way"(while shaking my hand...sighhh so cute with his southern hospitality) and I was like "hi i'm laura, nice to meet you" so these people were trying to talk to me, so as he left I told him I wished him a safe trip home.

Anyways...to catch up, yesterday another coworker mike said he was going to call me, and I tend to leave my cellphone off (because it sucks, and dies quickly) so when I go to bed I see I have a new message, but I assume it's mike, it's already 2am so I jsut go to bed. I wake up and listen to the message and it's Taylor!!!! I missed his call...noooo!

So in his cute thick Louisiana accent he had called saying he was calling to see if I wanted to get something to eat or to just hang out. whyyyyyy, I have bad luck!! He was so cute! Dagnabit, the first time I decide to give a complete stranger my number when I meet him in person and he calls, and I miss it! *sniffles*

You know I wouldnt have had that prob. had I only had the cell phone on, and it didnt die so quickly.

Damn sprint and damn my sucky cellphone. You all have to agree cell phones suck right?

Anyways anyone else have something like this happen to them? Uh, i'm so bummed, he was so cute. since I have his number in a day or so imma call him back and give him my email so we can keep in touch, dagnabit...grrrr to Sprint! lol

Considering my home country I would be lynched if I said cell phones suck. But it sounds like your phone's battery sucks. They cost next to nothing to replace. You should do that. Just don't buy one of those that explode (unless you have landfishes nearby).

It has to be asked.

WHY?

It's a freaking PHONE for god's sake. You use it to CALL people. That's why they call it a PHONE not a computer.

I want to shoot 3 out of every 5 cell phone users I see. Those 3 out of 5 people don't have a damned clue how to use a phone, or what it's really for. I consistently see people shouting on the phone, using it as a two-way radio (buy a REAL 2 way radio you idiot!), trying to use it while driving and almost ALWAYS failing miserably, using it when they shouldn't be (theaters, classes, etc.), using it for crap like web surfing (WHY?!)...

I don't get it. It's a phone. You dial a person's number, put the phone to your ear, and talk to them as though they were sitting right next to you. It's not a two-way radio. You don't have to shout. It's not a computer. And if you HAVE to have it on when it shouldn't be, put the SOB on vibrate.

I'm done ranting now.

It's becoming more that way, but Americans from the south tend to have an accent noticably different from most other Americans.

People from up north too. I've met quite a few who had something of an accent, or at the very least, pronounced some things far differently.

There are quite a few regional twangs.

I love my cell phone. Very handy to have. Plus, I don't have a land line in my room, so I just use it a lot.

Well no, but long distance calling is hard. but if he and I email from time to time, and he is ever coming back he could let me know and we could hang out. he was so cute, and his accent was so adorable. it was so thick. That louisana accent was hawt on him

The people from the northwest don't want to have anything to do with the other Americans because we think they don't understand us.

Nobody wants to have anything to do with people from the south, because we think they're inbred and will probably shoot us from their porch if we go near them.

The New Englanders are kinda fenced in there.

The Quebeckers have a French accent and that's the way they want it.

And New Yorkers.... we just don't ask the New Yorkers.



As for the phone thing, I agree. I have a Smartphone, I admit, but I never use anything but the phone functionality. For Pocket Computer purposes I have a PocketPC, which will always utterly destroy your feeble phone. And I can still use the internet remotely - either through my phone or from a WAP.

I think the trading of phone numbers with strangers, bar-hopping, and all things similarly shallow should be whiped off the earth. Why didn't you get the other kid with a bandage around his head's phone number? What about the kid who had 3 arms? Didja ask for his number? No. You asked a cute boy with an accent for his number. Woman and Men alike buffer their female/male selections by visuals so much these days, that I can hardly believe anyone finds a soulmate anymore. Seriously, if you think you're going to find a quality relationship in a guy you met while working, and shared 3 and a half words with... you're tough out of luck, aren't you?

Duh, how else are you going to get those awesome ring tones?

I got a "Tracfone" for Christmas. It's good for 250 minutes, or until April. I still have 174.5 minutes left (text messages use half a minute. I sent 1 and decided it was stupid). I only use it about once a week to get a ride home. The place I need a ride home from has a phone, so it's kind of useless. I don't have a fancy background, custom ring tone, or anything like that. The default ring tone reminds me of Metal Gear Solid, and that's good enough for me.

If I want an awesome ring tone, I'll make one. I'm pretty sure all phones support that. Otherwise, the default good enough for me.

The last time I tried to use my mobile was when I wanted to speak to Krok. It didn't work.

I have a pair of dead mobiles, one's a brick and a half and the other's a Trium Mars with a cracked screen. If I need to phone anyone else, I use either a payphone or just borrow a mate's.

I have to agree with you Kirby. Visuals aren't everything, you should get to know them before just handing out your number to a complete stranger. Who knows Laura, he could be a big time criminal for counts of armed robbery, gta, etc.

Pheonix: Good two-way walkie talkies cost about $150-200. Cell phones that have this feature(no other features) cost about $100. Do the math...

Laura: That's why I got me a Cingular phone. It takes about 3-4 days(with a few calls approx. 10 minutes each) before the battery wears down.
No sig.

We are drawn to other people based on looks. That's basic human nature, and it bridges across species. Look at other animals, especially birds. The male bird (like the peacock) that has the brightest, most colorful feathers has the most mates.

That's also why most long term relationships fail miserably. Men are attracted by looks, women are attracted by looks and power. They get together at first, and then they realize they can't stand eachother and they break up.

This is why I don't go on dates, and I don't exchange numbers with strangers, no matter how attractive they seem.
The music industry is a cruel and shallow money trench where thieves and pimps run free, and good men die like dogs. There's also a negative side.

Looks are what usually determine whether you are interested in someone or not. I mean, if you met a guy but are not attracted to him, you could become friends with him and then find later on down the road his personality makes him more attractive than any one else. And you never know...it could last. :rolleyes: Just have to be optimistic!

As for cell phones...I have one, but I hate it. I hate it because I cannot imagine not having it. It does come in handy though when your car breaks down - but other than that...yeah...I hate it. *goes to look for a faceplate for her phone*

I use my cell phone as a replacement for a landline. When I move into a duplex in April, the plan is to not even pay for a landline. Just use the cell phone. Comes out cheaper in the end, as I only have one bill to pay, not two.

And I happen to like my monophonic, black and white phone. I can't stand the new phones with mini keyboards, color screens, and mp3 playback. I dread renewing my plan, because they'll probably make me exchange phones. Arrghhh.

how are you supposed to get to know them? Hm? You give them your number, or they give you theirs, and you talk, or set up a date, during which you get to know them. That's how this "social interaction" thing works. Especially in this situation, where that might have been the only time she'd have seen him. Ever.

Also, you complain about all these stupid people not understanding what a phone is for, with all their special features and such...maybe you need to keep with the times. Computers weren't "for" playing games on, either. Didn't the internet start as a military system? Certainly it's not for the average citizen to communicate with! Oh no! Cell phones have become MORE than just phones, so why should people only use them AS phones?

And peacocks also flair their feathers and wave their asses around when threatened. Don't relate us to a bird to prove a point. Birds mate to shoot out babies, and mate with only the best looking because they want their children to have good looks and strength so they'll survive. Humans, however, score *** on looks because they like to have sex. Your arguments are moot.

I'm not saying you should hit on all the ugly people, I just don't think sharing your phone number with someone based on their looks or even based on the few words you have with them is a very good idea. You're buffering yourself to the world. You're closing out a great percentage of possible soulmates by saying "Oh look, there's a cute boy, instead of waiting for someone nice to come along in my life, I think I'll jsut randomly see if he's goingto be a good invenstment of time and emotions!"

That's what people do. They see someone they're attracted to, talk for a bit, gives numbers and make dates. Being like "ooh, cute boy! I'll give him my number and hope he calls" is fine. Why would she give her number to someone she didn't find attractive? As for good investment of time and emotions...it's just life.

Actually I've gone out with a lot of guys that weren't attractive or "quick to tongue" and they still turned out to be jerks (and in one case a very scary stalker...(I've had way too many stalkers to be healthy.)
