I lost my purse today and it had 60 euro in it...

What, this isn't a thread where we talk about stuff other people don't care about?

although I am really pissed off that my purse is gone, and I really wanted to tell the internet for some reason

Amazing, OP. My cousin is 46, has her own business and 3 school-going children and refuses to purchase a mobile phone either. Like yourself she says she can be contacted at her salon, and when she goes shopping she wishes to be left in peace.

I just couldn't imagine it, yet I know I managed the first 28-and-a-half years of my life without one!

OP,

If you run a business, no matter how big or small, being non-contactable when you want/need is probably a luxury many in your position don't have.

Well I run a biz and I didn't get a moby until 5 years ago. I also switch it off/ignore work stuff after work hours. People built huge biz empires with no mobiles. It's BS and a con to think you cant now. I agree with the OP it's a soother. I used to go fishing for hours. Half way up mountains. No problem. I got a phone and woe betide me if I forgot it. The grief from mates and family. I mean nothing changed. It's all perception.

Yes they're bloody useful, but not as nearly as indispensable as most think.

If you have a mobile, you are expected to be available nearly 24/7.

The latter explains why I switch off the former.

OP what do you do if you see someone in a shop you don't really like???

This is where the mobile comes in handy, you can ring your voicemail & pretend you are an an important long winded call so you can avoid talking to the pr!ck you're trying to avoid.

Thats the main benefit for me anyway, I hate making small talk with people I don't like :mad::mad::mad:

fair play if your happier without one
To be honest though I dont understand when people say that it frees them up because if you really want to escape you can just turn your phone off yet at the same time you can make emergency calls or if you are bored you can ring up friends

Fair play:D

I'd say not having a mobile lessens complications involved in having an affair no-end.

We where actually talking about this at work last week, a 50+ year old sales rep was saying how mobiles make the affairs easier. He said him and friends where at a hotel in the rare old times before mobiles only to hear the reception make the announcement that this one is being called by that one who they all knew where married to other people.

Maybe it depends on the business weather or not being in contact 24/7 is essential or not. Imagine if your drug dealer didn't have a mobile, how the hell did people buy drugs before mobiles?

want some cool whhip?

Gone are the days of being able to make plans to meet up and not having to worry about them not showing up. Mobiles have led to a severe disimprovement in peoples time keeping abilities!

stepbar · 11-06-2009 11:43PM

I only know of one person who, like you, hasn't a mobile phone. I find it slightly weird and if I was your wife, annoying!
