Good morning peevers, and a lovely one it is here.

Yesterday I got a call on my cellphone from my daughter. The combination of poor signal and that she had a few of her friends making lots of noise in the background made for a difficult conversation.

Today's peeve;

Cellphones- dropped calls, poor signal etc.

Garbage! Toss them in the nearest dumpster! Full of fun add on games and crap! But their use as communication devices leaves much to be desired. I will never want one!

Their not garbage where I am...their my only option for a phone, lol. No land lines of any kind on my mountain Seriously we lucked out and Verizon put a new tower across the mountain from me 2 years ago. I get better cell service here than I do in Florida

I do I hate to get dropped. My stepdaughter has the "worst" service. I hate trying to talk to her. I tell her to come over because it's easier

They are useless in the buildings I work in.

I always have to go by an outside door.

I have one I rarely use. Usually stays in my glove compartment between the recharges. By the time I have to find my glasses to see who's calling and find THAT button or the numbers I need to push to make a call.....I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone any longer. I really prefer my land line phone.

I HAVE followed Russell Crowe on Twitter though.
