My iPhone says that I got tired of receiving disjointed group text messages from my family members (all of whom own iPhones).

I'm absolutely a techie (it's my job and my passion), but phones have become more of a tool and less of a toy to me.

Maybe one day if I can get my hands on that completely modular phone that's coming out...... /drool

Ok, fair enough, but can you explain why? I have always been curious. What is the appeal of trolling? What pleasure do you derive from it? Why does it feel good to do? I wonder if in this case there is a sexual element to posting as a woman with big breasts. Can you confirm?

Also, are you the banned poster "redbaccus" who posted as a lesbian with alcohol and a farting obsession? The style is identical.

Since you asked.....!

ZTE's modular smartphone could make part-swapping a reality within two years

In some instances, you'll get just barebones parts (not even the LCD) with the beginning package, and customize everything else. Want an 8" screen? 3D? Sure, just buy the piece and install! It has the potential to cost as little as 100 bucks or as much as 600 depending on how much you sink into it... and your own capability, of course!

Default Social Interactions in Tight Places

Why is it that social interactions in tight places are very awkward and tense? For example, if I am on the subway and I accidentally brush past someone, I usually say "sorry" and keep moving. Most of the time the other person sits there quiet and acts like I have a screw loose because I dared to say "sorry" while I pushed pass them. On rare occasions the other person will say "it's alright", but I noticed that they're generally just kind people (I guess I am, ha!).

And don't get me started on elevators. It's like not only do you have a fear that the elevator will fall, but if you accidentally hit eyes with someone it will be the world's most awkward .5 seconds of your day.

What I noticed is that today when you say "hello" to a stranger or "excuse me", they automatically assume that you're crazy. But these are the same people to turn over and have loud conversations on their phones, putting their business out for everyone to hear!

Even saying "Thank You" and making eye contact when someone holds the door for you makes you look crazy!

Why is it that today's society is so keen on treating each other so rude like it's just normal?

I guess you could say since I live in a city people tend to be more tense, but even people in the suburbs are like this. Only people that live in rural areas bother to say "thank you", "excuse me" and "please".

LOL, she's already told me that I should stop lying because it often makes things worse. I still do it anyway !

I do tell her about my trolling of the people on this forum, she suggested that I should get involved in some other activities besides annoying people on the internet...

She obviously doesn't realize you've risen to the best thing you're capable of.

He also sounds like the poster who makes up stories about people peeing on themselves in public (who also gets immediately banned.)
