Phone-y stories

[Penthesilea]

I don't have a cell-phone. But my husband has and every now and then, I borrow it.
I sat with my friend in a café when we heard a cell phone ringing from somewhere down (we were sitting on a kind of indoor balcony, above the others, with great view of the whole café). The ringing went on and on, did even get louder after a while. We were both irritated that the owner of the cell phone didn't answer it. After a while, I said to my friend: "Why does this dumbass not answer his phone? It has the same annoying ringing sound like my husband's cellphone."

My friend asked: "It couldn't be that by chance, you have your husband's cell phone in your handbag?" - OMG, of course I did! The dumbass was me  . I am so not used to cellphones, that the thought never occured to me, it could be me whose phone ringed. And the noise came from somewhere down because I had put my handbag on the floor.

I wish I had some. 

And of course my intent was not to make fun of someone who needs an assistive device. It's just that the incongruous picture of a woman with a great big "millwheel" ruff around her neck and a huge "farthingale" skirt tooling along on a motorized wheelchair strikes me as very funny. 

So does the image of a guy in full "plate" armor talking on a cell phone. 

of  course not...no one thought that..

it does sound hilarious....and I am gonna assume they don't use privys...

Well, they do have handicapped-sized "port-a-castles" at these events. ...

funny cell phone stories.

Ok...

There was the time that I went to visit a friend.  She was giving her 2 year old daughter a bath.  Her house phone rang, and she asked me to watch her daughter while she got the phone.  Of course, after mom had left, Sherridan decided at that moment to get a big handful of bubbles and try to eat them.  So, of course, when I leaned over to stop her, the cell phone fell out of my pocket, and into the tub.

 

Company wouldn't replace it because the phone still worked, but the ring sounded like it was muffled under a pillow.

 


Then, there was the time that I was walking through town, talking on my cell, and got so involved in the conversation, that I walked into a telephone pole.  And apologized to the phone pole.  lmao

That's a good one!

(Did the pole accept your apology?    )

No, it just stood there in silence.  I think I offended it somehow....

This were mention on the CBS morning show in our area and I immediately thought of this tread.

  Jeanne from California saw a woman talking on a cell phone at a funeral.

  Debbie swears a woman at her church took Communion while talking on a cell phone. Maybe she was talking to the Lord.

  On a visit to Washington, Brent and his wife saw a beggar. As they approached, the beggar took a cell phone from his ear and asked if they could spare some change.

  And at the Coliseum in Rome, Kurt and his wife saw a man dressed in the authentic costume of a Roman centurion talking on a cell phone. Et tu, Verizon?
