[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I only answer my phone if I feel like it and I quite often don't feel like it once I see who it is.  However, I keep it with me at all times.  I don't leave it upstairs and then let it ring, how weird is that?

Emergency calls don't always involve a scenario where someone else can just call 911 if you don't answer.  I want to know if a friend or loved one is having an emergency that I need to know about or they wouldn't be calling me.[/quote]

[b]It’s called charging sometimes.[/b] Do you carry it in the shower? To the toilet? If not, then GASP, you do let it ring—*how weird is that?*[/quote]

You only charge in, what, your bedroom?  How weird is that!  There's a solution for that too.  I already said I often let it ring, or actually I let it buzz because my ringer is off 95% of the time.  And yes, I definitely take it to the toilet, what else do you do while you sit there but phone stuff?[/quote]

Are you 16?[/quote]

No, I'm in my 60s.  You?[/quote]

NP. Ah, I see. Your unsanitary habits are already setting in, as they do with many elderly people.[/quote]

Um, ok.  I've been reading stuff on the toilet since I was a child, how is the phone any different?  I have a great book on my kindle app.[/quote]

So gross. Let me guess, you sanitize your phone never? Anyway, if you spend that much time on the toilet, you likely need a better diet and exercise program. Again, you’re getting on in years so you really do need to take better care of yourself. And watch those sanitary habits—you’re definitely starting to slip.[/quote]

You're right, I'm probably the only one (other than all the other elderly idiots, right?) who reads anything on the pot, especially including fooling around on the phone, right?  You have devolved into an ageist a**hole for no good reason other than to keep this ridiculous debate going even though you are probably sitting on the toilet  reading this right now but won't admit it.[/quote]
