This is what Bubbie can live with, everybody has a cell phone in their pocket and when you call them they answer it and you have a conversation. This is what Bubbie can’t live with, everybody has a cell phone in their pocket but you call and you call and you call, you leave voicemails and nobody calls you back. If we’re not going to use our cell phones as a portable twenty-four-seven, 365 contacting device then let’s go back to putting the old phone on the wall in the kitchen. If you're home you answer it and if you’re not home you don’t answer it.
That way we know that we can’t get a hold of you and we can move on with our life. Otherwise, we have to keep calling and calling, texting, calling again and leaving voicemails because we are sure that the person we’re trying to reach is probably within 3 to 5 feet from their cell phone at any given time. But probably the ringer is off, or they're screening their calls, or sometimes it's not even their fault it’s just there is not a good signal. And we wind up wasting time and energy burning calories trying to contact somebody that should be in instant contact with because we have mobile phones. In Bubbie's view, just answer the dang phone!
Uncle Bubba says he'd be remiss if he didn't include one more thing to his rant; the fact that we still can't get a signal. It's 2019 and we're often lucky to get one tower. We're still stuck on, "Can you hear me now?" We've had cell phones for more than 20 years and our conversations haven't changed: "Are you still there? Can you hear me? Did I lose you?" Technology has stalled. It's a failed experiment. In Bubbie's view, all of this technology has made life more frustrating.
