OK.....how many of ya
 

could live without your cell phone? Honestly!

Don't lie, Yak. :rolleyes:

I could totally live without it, but odd thing is now that I'm in the Iphone circuit, I could never have a regular cell phone anymore

Me, I don't have text messaging, internet, IM's, pictures, just basic phone. Half the time i just ignore it anyway.

couldnt do it....google maps saves my life everyday

I'd be just fine without mine. The people that call me could easily verify it. I don't answer 75% of the calls and ain't got the textin' down yet. Pox or Bruce will send me a text and I'll read it and, I'm like...."OooooKaaaay!" If I wanna reply...I just call 'em.

BS...get a GPS.

my phone has a GPS and google maps and a compass application...all in one!

YOU NEVER ANSWER !!!!!! and never send texts cept for the time you told me screw my wife and the movie i was watchin and to check my email......im happy i did cuz it was a free chronie!!!!!

to you question i would be screwed w/o my phone . when my cell got smashed in the car accident and i was phoneless for 3-4 hours i had at least 15 voicemails and 20 texts regarding work !! i would have to roll around with a armored truck full of quaters to spit into the pay phone if i didnt have a cell

:*****:

My daughter just read this thread and said, "Daddy, I would have to kill myself if I didn't have my iPhone."

If I catch her texting again while driving.....dig a hole. :(

I'll drive her around for you. :)

I'll teach her how to dougie:smokin:

One of my cop buddies told me that she was "zipping' around town and textin' while drivin'. I told her if I heard of it again.....I'll take the cell phone. She said she'd rather me take her car. :eek:

I'll bet. :cool: :rolleyes:

i think the kid that smashed into me last week was either texting or talking on the phone when he hit me :shaking:

This is a serious problem, and, when enough people die because of it....maybe they'll do something about it. Question is...how many is enough?

this is a start...

I would be beside myself without my cell phone.

I'm confused. Your boy "*" said that it is ok to text and talk while driving.

I could not do without mine, don't know how we did without them before.

not me, i feel naked when i forget mine at home

Would not be a problem what so ever. Some days I want to throw it in the river!

And not wear a seat belt.......

I could not live without my cell.......I need it for my work...:grinpimp:

i couldnt live without mine


i dont understand how this was suppose to be an insult salty lol

let me ask you this.

could you live without power?

Same here!:smokin:

Dam. i'm old enough to remember when ya had a pager and had to stop at a pay phone if it couldn't wait till i got home.

My first job out of college in 1993 was with an oil field service company in Lafayette......I had this same set-up! We have come a long way!!! Hell why would someone even have a pager now.....:shaking::shaking:

wheres your degree?

Cell phone have not been available for that many years.....less than 20???

Everyone did just fine without them......and still could. It is called......better planning, that would solve much of the "need" to have a cell phone.

I guess I am one of the very few that does not "feel the need" to have a cell phone.

i should rephrase

i could live without mine of course

but given the option i would prefer to have it

It wasn't.

If you're referring to electricity.....yes, I did without it for a month after Katrina.

"*" is a friggin' idiot....but then, you know that.

The reason I started this thread is because of an incident I witnessed yesterday. I was driving in town behind this car that was swerving all over the street. When stopped at a redlight, I could see that it was a woman that was (obviously) texting. Just ahead of the light is a bridge. When the light turned green, she took off. While on the bridge, she crossed over the center line and almost hit an SUV head-on. She was able to get the car under control...thankfully. I saw emergency lights ahead. It was a Sheriff's car stopped on the bridge. When the car ahead of me passed the officer's car.....I stopped to let him get behind her. When they exited the bridge, she pulled over and he parked behind her. I passed on by but was wondering if she'd be cited. I found out from my neighbor (she works for the department) this morning that the woman was given a ticket for "failure to maintain control". This biotch was travelling fast enough to seriously injure or even kill someone. Had she hit that SUV.....it wouldn't have been a pretty site. I wish friggin' cell phones never existed.

i agree salty

some people cant drive as it is

add in another distraction and its an accident waiting to happen


but its your right if you want to kill someone according to "*"

And....you don't bang that lil keypad while driving? :rolleyes:

I drive the causeway 3-5 times a week. You see more people doing the wierdest crap. Nothing like getting a cup of Joe and enjoying the ride. These idiots put on makeup, READ the newspaper (no joke),text and who knows what else.

I saw a dood trying to put on a hooded sweatshirt one time. Try that while driving in traffic.

about 3 weeks ago there was guy (passenger at least) hangin out the sunroof of a car on the causeway going 65MPH puking. I was the next car behind them. I damn near went nuts.

Wipers work?

Horn,finger and voicebox sure as hell did.

I would ditch mine, but it helps having a phone # for employment reasons, I hate texting but sooo many people text me instead of call so I buy 200 text so I only pay $5 more rather than $30 more for unwanted text. if they had a phone with no minutes just pay $20 a month for unlimited text, I'd buy it! I might use my phone for 50 minutes a month personal use everybody text rather than talk, its whatever!

I don't have a problem with people texting. My daughter averages 20,000 texts per month. However, talking on a cell while driving is distracting enough....texting or posting on SaltyCajun while driving is downright dangerous.

:eek::eek: thats madness...Bruce quit texting her so much...:rotfl::rotfl:

Where's your truck at now?! Why isn't it at my shop!?

I doubt Bruce has her number. :shaking:

the new phones, like the Droid we just got for the kid, have voice texting. By the time they pass texting bans, no one will be typing anymore.

BTW, there is already a law on the books that would apply to those who wreck while texting, eating, etc. It's called "Failure to Maintain Reasonable Vigilance".

I'm going 75mph down the interstate as I type this. :)

Lol @ specktator

i just downloaded a free voice to text app...pretty cool except it censors curse words and if you talk fast you get some crazy stuff

"Dragon Dictation" is an app for Iphone that I have, voice to text. It's free and works pretty good.

Yeah boy...that's funny right there. Sounds like "*".

yeah thats what i got just takes some getting used to
