I think that’s and old person thing, mainly if they have a house phone with the same phone number for 50 years. I know one person that would shut his phone off and put it in a drawer when he got home.
Yes.

Not defending any part of this crazy story, but old people do weird shit with cell phones.

My parents are mid-70's... as soon as they get home the phone gets turned off and placed in a drawer. They think we're absolutely insane and irresponsible for not having a home phone and "just using them car phones all the time".

My 80 year old dad is the same way. He had a 3G flip phone until AT&T made him upgrade. He doesn't keep it on for calls. Just on when he wants to use it as a phone.

Has no interest in using the internet or GPS on it even though I have saved his bacon several times googling something in the passenger seat...

Of course he also thinks his laptop is only for email and word processing...:lmao: Love him though!

Thats another thing... dad turns his on to make a call, then turns it off when finished. Flip phone, only used as a phone- which is fine... but leave the damn thing on. :shaking:
 
Fuck that I think he’s on to something. I’m doing what I’m doing and fuck everyone else :lmao::flipoff2:
That's fine, but when he calls "Hey I'm in town to buy a blah blah for something X, how big do I need?" and I say "I'll run out to the shop and measure... call you right back." 3 minutes later I call him back and it's straight to voice-mail.

An hour later he calls me from home on the blessed land line "YOU NEVER CALLED ME BACK SO I BOUGHT Z" and of course Z was absolutely the wrong thing.

It’s working as designed :lmao::lmao::flipoff2:

Have you considered that this behaviour is entirely intentional and planned? :laughing:
 
So how fucked up did he get? Still in the hospital, or at home in his castle with a few scratches?
 
Yes.

Mom moved into a retirement home, an apartment building with a dining hall and some entertainment. I had to go with her to get her land line hooked up at the AT&T store, nope, they only deal in cell phones now. Had to call an 800 number, jump through some flaming hoops, step in dogshit and pay $95 a month for a fucking land line. Then I found out that her facility has a Cox bundle option, phone, www and TV, for $75 a month. I couldn't tell AT&T to fuck off fast enough.

This is why you're a better son than I am- I would have told mom to fuck off long before telling AT&T. Toss a tracfone at her ass with $20 on the card "here you go".

:laughing:
 
We would be better off without everyone having a cell phone on them all the time

Ive said for years as soon as i retire I'm throwing my phone in a pond
Im not joking. I chucked one out the window at about 70 because it wouldn’t quit ringing. Hands down the most therapeutic thing I have done regarding phones. Damn near cost me my job because it was a company phone but would definitely recommend it on some days.

Any time I am down my phone for any extended period of time I am so much more relaxed day 2 is awesome. Day 4 is old school, a watch on and try and remember to check it so your not late and you get so much more shit done.
 
So why call someone and ask a question, then power down the phone while waiting for them to call you back with the answer? :laughing:
That is exactly what my mother in law used to do. It was infuriating. She only had to charge the phone once a month though.

Mom is the pinnacle of grace, tolerance and courtesy, and my Dad was the guy in the office that everyone loved.

Maybe I really was a doorstep baby.

It's to fuck with you.

One, because it's hilarious. And two, because you can't say shit about it, which is at least doubly hilarious.

I can't wait until I'm old and crotchety like that. Look the fuck out youngin's.

Yea. Thankfully the boss bought the cheapest non-smart phones. iPhone were brand new when I worked there. It was like $75-100 and take my ass chewing when I got back to the office. Whatever, still zero regrets
