Erica's Cell Phone Rules of Operation

  1. Custom ring tones are annoying, unless they're funny. Ice Cube's "You Can Do It Put Your Back into It" – funny. The All American Rejects' "It Ends Tonight" – I hate you.

  2. If you have that "please enjoy the music while your party is reached" feature, I hate you. First of all how long did it take you to figure out how to download that? And how much are you paying for it freakshow?

  3. If you go to the other line, I will hang up. I realize this is obnoxious and inconsiderate. Too bad, I don't like waiting; and it's kind of funny when people call back and are really pissed. Zach especially hates when I do this, which makes it an even more rewarding experience.

  4. It's kind of weird when you spend hundreds to get the newest phone. Take it easy techy, that phone won't be cool in like a week. This rule does not apply to the iphone because I've heard that thing is glazed with the tears of unicorns.

  5. Only leave me funny voicemails or don't bother. Singing encouraged.

How about don't go through all your ringtones in the movie theater while waiting for the movie to start. Or Emily will jump over the bar and kill you.

Question: R. Kelly "I don't see nothin' wrong with a little bump & grind." Funny or not funny?

And I hate that i've heard more than one person have that song "...your beautiful..." WTH?!

6. What your mother hates:

"Mom, I'll call you when I get off work."

....an empty promise

You are too high maintenance with your cell phone usage or usage of friends. I will probably never call you . . . but mostly because I don't have your phone number.

And also because I would probably drive you crazy with my classical music ringtone. I believe it's one of Bach's Cello Suites. I also leave lame messages like, "Call me back when you get this." Duh. I also get pissed when people hang up when I check the other line.

Glazed with the tears of unicorns....hahaha. People with iphones also have them out in their hand proudly displayed. When did a damn phone become such a status symbol.

I have an Office ringtone, is that acceptable?

glazed with the tears of unicorns made me laugh out loud rather loudly & caused me to read this entire post to every person in my living room: myron, chloe & mr. miyagi.

lol Liz aparently we are not meant to be cell phone lovers. But that's okay.

Chris- Office Ringtone is always okay.

I think I'm just bitter about cell phones in general because mine is never cool.

I hate the "enjoy the music"! I hang up immediately. I would rather poke myself in the eye with a hot stick that listen to that crap.

Ok #3 is a dye hard rule in my life! I HATE OTHER LINES! Seriously is your life that freaking consumed with people that you can't give me a good 10 minutes of your day?! I hate other lines!!! HATE!
K, and yes, ask your adoring cousins...I'm a voicemail singer, and a pretty good one. I prep the songs ahead of time in case I do end up getting voicemail.
