Umm Hello?

My parents keep reminding me that their time was way different from mine, of course due to technological advances and all, the most important being that communication is no longer a problem.

Having a landline 30 years back was considered a luxury but times have totally changed,having 2 mobiles isn't something people need to dream off, hell I have a pal who has 5 cell numbers and uses 3 different phones,because its cheap and that messaging thing has really caught on,500 sms's for 50 bucks,hell he would get around 300 messages a day for 30 days for 30 bucks,which neatly brings me to the point of my post.

I freaking hate it when people call me,sms's aren't all that bad unless people ask me to respond to some stupid joke or one liner,see if a joke is good, I will respond so that shouldn't be a worry and people completely forget the true essence of having a cell phone,its not to bug people constantly with crummy passed on jokes or giving em calls in the middle of the night because you stupid insomniac bastard couldn't sleep,NO its there actually so that you can keep in touch and communicate when there is a need or emergency.

That would have been alright had it not been for the incessant calls from the service providers and those damn bastards keep on using different numbers to call,its not that one number is used and I can screen it oh no,its a whole host of numbers out there to muck around with me,plus the fact that those auto caller thingys are so well made they actually sound like a real person has called you,in fact a few years back when I got my first cell phone I thought it was a real person on the other line and spent a good thirty seconds trying to talk back to that stupid line,stupid me.

They call regarding all sorts of crappy reasons,caller tunes,ring tones,special discounts during pujas, call screening,did you wax,how many children you should have,why don't you get a life,yes I know I am exaggerating but they do call for absolutely stupid reasons and if you don't end the call soon enough or press 5 unknowingly baam 50 bucks goes down the bloody drain,not to mention those stupid GPRS messages that are sent to me,not because I am a perv,well they [Vodafone] don't know it yet

"Live bikini girls,30 Rs per month for 30 wall papers"
"Hot Bikini girls in white"
"Hot playmates"
"Hot wallpapers"
etc
They actually don't know who they are dealing with,hell maybe I should try and do a partnership with em,me providing them with the "good stuff" and maybe they can stop bugging me with their shit calls and messages.
