I almost got ran over like 15 times the other day. Oh and one other thing; truck drivers are starting to adopt the idea of talking while driving. I almost got ran over like 15 times the other day.

Her boyfriend. It annoys the living daylights out of me. She totally zones out on me mid conversation...for a person who's not even there! It just drives me up the wall, I want to pull a Vesuvius. I wish she would just turn it off when we're together. I basically can't say anything because she makes it seem like I'm telling her to choose between the two of us. Even if I think said other person is a fucktard, I'm not saying that. She just needs to give it a rest. I was in the <a href="http://www.apexbattery.com/car-batteries.html" target='_blank' >car</a> with her for seven hours today...and I wanted to just crush that phone. I can't take it!! Rant finished.

'Chimping' comes from photography circles, (it's the act of checking out the shot you just took on the mini camera LCD screen) but I think we should appropriate it for a more productive use. Next time one of your friends is texting someone or surfing the web on their phone WHEN THEY SHOULD BE PAYING ATTENTION to something else (a group decision, a traffic light, etc.) tell them to STOP CHIMPING!!! Together perhaps we can stigmatize this annoying habit. Join me in the “Stop Chimping!” movement.

It texts, emails, IMs and calls people at random like 15 times in a row. Nobody has complained yet but seriously it cracks me up when I look at my phone and it's doing stuff on its own. It's also very annoying at the same time. Like I'll call someone and the mute button will pop on and off or I'll text someone and the word will be sent half way through. I guess I just needed to let that out. The other comment: People at work don't refer to their phone as "my cell" anymore. People say stuff like "I'll check my Blackberry" or "I'll send it to you later on my Blackberry," etc. weird. My phone has been broken for about a week and a half now.
