Just talking to my brother about this last night:
People who insist on communicating for days via inconvenient and expensive texts or emails, when a 5 minute phone call would do the trick.
I had a cell phone the kept acting up so after a while I got a new one with all the bells and whistles. The thing is I feel like I have accomplished a milestone if I am able to answer a call when it comes in. I am seriously thinking I am going to have to down grade. My son says I need something from technology from my era. I suppose he would be surprised to know we didn't have cell phones and the tech of the day was a push button land line and instead of the dial up phones. LOL

People who sit at a sushi bar using their smartphones instead of interacting with the sushi chefs and the people around them. It's odd to walk into a Japanese restaurant and see people staring fixedly at their phones for lengthy periods of time and holding them up right in front of other people.
If you wanted to use the phone that badly, you should have taken a booth seat instead and let people who wanted to talk to other people in real time sit at the sushi counter.

Gimme a good solid land line any day over a cell phone ... I only use my cell phone when I'm not at home but prefer the quality of my land line.
Our house is in a "dead" spot for the local cell towers. Consequently, cell service at home is sporadic at best, so the land line stays. We have a prepaid cell phone, no free nights or weekends, but then we only use it when we are not home and we have never found the need to attach the phone permanently to our ears and use them constantly anyhow.

I know exactly what u mean. I prefer a land line too. I feel more secure. I guess I really am old fashioned. It's nice to have company I ashamed to go back to the cell phone guy and tell him the to give me one of the cells with the big buttons and no extras But, I think I am.
I hope she appreciated his kindness, but so many people don't these days. It's more like, what else can you do for me now. Taking advantage, that's right on the mark, nice guys are an any easy target for that.
Make a "Dog Eats Solicitors" sign, Sun Queen
I love the idea of the sign
