I'm, like, okay with being a little crazy.
The time, energy, words, weight lost, nails bitten, scabs picked and nights I've struggled thru for this are easy to judge from afar, right?
Things I won't miss about being a freelancer: incorrectly estimating my taxes and owing a ton of cash at the end of the year.
So pissed at @thomashouston right now for not reminding me about James Blake last night.

My husbands cell phone started playing Bad to the Bone during a viewing, needless to say I could have crawled into the casket with our friend God rest her soul.

That was really funny. I am still laughing. Ours always go off in church when we forget to set them to vibrate.

My most memorable incident was at my brothers viewing, during the pastor's homily, a pretty young lady's phone started ringing. It happened to be in her purse. Which was zipped shut. Lying on the floor in front of her. While bending to retrieve it, she both, shocked and amused (maybe even aroused) those around her as she exposed her crimson thong, and the buttendages that surrounded it. Ahhh, the things ya see when ya don't have a camera!!!

Lots of people are going to take their cell phones to their graves,who cares?

During my father's funeral service, not once but TWICE the same person's cell phone rang. You can imagine the gasp that went through the church the first time it rang, the sound of disgust when the 2nd call rang.

I work at a store, a very large corporation, doing returns. I also do money transfers. What bugs me more than anything - and I'm an 18 year old female, deeply in love with my cellphone, is when customers come up to the counter STILL talking on their cellphone! Thats very rude! If I were on my cellphone I'd be fired for being rude. Its ridiculous.
I don't mind if you are walking around shopping, or even standing in line on your cellphone, but when I'm trying to help someone, not blabbing their head off about who did what with who is the least they can do.

Probably the most embarassing place would be at a funeral or a viewing but the one place you absolutley don't want your cell phone to go off is in court during a trial or a hearing. The judge will not take kindly to you if this happens.

i was visiting a freind of a friend in the hospital who tried to kill herself the night before and as soon as i walked in her room my cell phone starting playing korn's why won't you die., lol

i once had mine ring in the bathroom when i worked at a bowling alley that was not cool i was about ready to murder the person on the other end

I want to know if there is not a off button on them things or what is so important that it can't wait till you get home. If there is something more important that you need to be doing mybe you need to be doing that instead of standing in front of a cashier while she is trying to ring you up or going to the funeral home. I think that is the most rude thing that I've seen people with cell phone's talking to who knows who not paying any attention to their children or anyone else with them and don't even have time to do the things they need at do while they are shopping and those things sticking in there ears is another story you don't even want me to get started with.

ALL calls can wait if I'm in the loo.
Cell phones have caller ID, you can call them *right back*
You wouldn't engage a sales person if you're in an important conversation with someone -- the same applies being on the phone in a store. One can ALWAYS tell the person on the other end "I'm at the cashier now -- I'll call you back when I'm finished. How hard is that?
It seems, since the advent of the cell phone -- a good segment of the population has forgotten common courtesy.
