In one of my rambling about cellphones and how I hate the whole ringing they do I was pointed out that cellphones have off buttons.
Ok so it's true, they do. But the whole shuting one's phone off is a big thing. It's a statement I'm not really comfortable making. Maybe because I'm not entirely sure what that statement is really. But I do know that it is one, so I leave it on - instead I just put it on silent and don't answere it...
See that way I'm making the statement that I'm either too busy to answere the phone or just screaning. I can also keep tabs on who called me and when. As a bonus I don't get that clostraphobic, cut off, sinking sensation that comes when my phone's turned off...
