Cell phones

Have resisted these damn things forever. Finally got sick of my wife nagging me to use one, and started trying to carry one around for the past two weeks. I'd say twice I actually remembered to take it with me when I went out, once being yesterday.
My wife did laundry this morning. We now have a very clean cell phone. And toasty, because it went through the dryer.
I know I'm the oddball because everyone uses them, but how you people remember to carry these things around with you? And take them out of pockets etc...
I'm done with them. That was my one attempt at trying to carry one around with me, and it failed.

You get used to it after a short while. I know I'm part of the youth generation that everybody hates because we're all glued to our cell phones 24/7, but at this point it's just second nature to have my phone in my pocket. I've ruined one phone because I forgot it was in my swimsuit, but other than that I've got a perfect record.

its pretty much the same as a wallet. you have the 6th sense of knowing its in your pocket and when its not you realize something is missing.

The only thing I really have a problem with is forgetting to put silent mode on. As a result, I usually just leave it in my car when I go to work or class.
Besides that, they're incredibly useful to have.

Easier said than done. Ask m1ironmik how I am with wallets...

I haven't had a "land line" in many years. So even though I don't have a phone in my house - I still lose my cell phone at least once a week. And I keep it on silent most of the time because it annoys me. But I need it so I get over it.

I rarely carry it with me. When I have it, it's off almost all the time, because I just want to make calls out--I don't want to receive them.
Fortunately, I use a bookbag and stick the thing in there.

That picture made my day.
