I hate my cellphone so bad but i need it! What about you?

Can you leave a message on your cell explaining you are not available at the moment and will return the call later? Then your dad will know you must be showering or doing something that requires you to not have the phone with you. I am not a fond user of the cell phone. I do have one but really only for family and friends to contact me or if I have car trouble when out and about and alone. My phone doesn't have texting so I don't use it very often. Being on the phone for an extended amount of time is not something I enjoy.

i dont enjoy talking on the phone for hours cause it gets boring but if your dad had a heart attack i'd keep it with me at all times cause well you never know. and yea i wouldnt answer the phone while under the shower cause first of all your ear is wet! lol n that could mess up your phone.

Hi. Gothicana. I don't have this same problem at all. No one expects me to stay nera my cell phone at all time. If their call is very urgent, then they will have to leave a message. It is very impossible, for me to just be sitting and waiting by the phone just when someone needs me. I have a life and my life does not revolve around my cell phone. I wished that your dad could understand this. I know that he loves you and he wants you to be there for him when he needs you to. But, he will have to understand that you need a break from staying by your cell phone. It would be nice if he had one of those devices that he could press to alert the emergency or police of something happens to him, or is about to happen. I don't enjoy speaking many hours on my cell phone at all. I like to only talk up to two hours at least, the most.

No, I don't have that problem, thank goodness. I don't get all that many calls, mainly just from my daughter everyday, and son once in awhile when he needs me to babysit. I wouldn't take mine in the shower either, as it wouldn't work after that. I mean, I do need m phone, as I don't have a landline, bue there is a limit too. I don't leave it on all night, even though my son said I should. I just don't need it at night, so that is why I shut it off. He usually calls me before I go to bed or the next morning, so i just don't feel there is any use to having it on all night long. I guess your dad is worried that he might be able to get a hold of you when he needs to, but then he needs to realize that you can't always take your phone everywhere. Take care, and have a very good day.

I don't hate my cell phone but sure hate the size of the bills that come with them. LOL Older people (even parents) tend to get antsy if you are doing something and don't pick up the phone when they call. We have to remember they are from a different age era and for them everything is instant now. Mostly if they have lost their spouse, and living alone you become their lifeline. My father was rather gruff when he was alive. He would talk to me like I was still his child and what he expected from me at the minute he wwamted it. I can talk on the phone if its to the right person, and others as soon as I get what they want and reply I am ready to get off the phone. Goodluck with your phone and your dad. When I am going to sleep I either put my phone on vibrate or ring off. Unless I know someone in my family is really ill. But I am considering giving my cell phone up when the contract is up. The company I have been with for years is merging with another one and not sure what our prices will be kind of scary.

well i got a similar problem. my mother has just returned from surgery and i'm supposed to have the phone anywhere i go so she can call me in any case. i hate that thingy, especially because it melts my freakin brain .

Well the truth is that I wish that I had a cellphone. Please do not take things for granted because you know there is people that have never even have had that. Me I am 19 and have never had a cellphone because i can't afford it I really wish I had one so that I can keep in touch with friends and family.

My cellphone goes everywhere we me, its like its literally attached to me. I have a smartphone, so its has internet capabilities. I can mylot from my phone if I wanted to. So, no I have to say I don't hate my smartphone, I love it. I'm not a person who would sit and talk all night on a phone. I've never been that way, not much of a talker in general, I do more of the listening, but I do text a lot and I also work online from my smartphone, so I really couldn't do without it.

Cell phones provides a lot of usage in these days. I use cell phones for all the activites. With cell phones, It means for me that All my friends are with me. So I think your thinking about cell phones is wrong.

I always use my mobile, i am using it from the past 4 years. But in night time i don't use it, i put my message tone alone in silent and go to sleep. As soon as morning i get up, i wash my face and see the mobile only. I have internet in my mobile, so use it and use many times to talk with my friends.

I am not very fond of cell phones, but it is convenient when you are on your move somewhere and need to stay in contact with people. It is practical when you can send txt messages and communicate with people anywhere wireless.

There aren't any issues with my Dad so I don't have that problem you have. But, I can't stand my phone either because it's not like I ever use it. I hate getting phone calls from friends and even my boss because I don't really like talking on phone because I hate those awkward silences and filling the need to fill in those silences. I'd rather contact my friends through facebook, it's a lot easier on me.

Um to be honest Know one needs a cellphones. People was able to survive without cell phones before and it still means we can still live with out it.I never had a cell phone and to be honest I don't want one it's a waste of time. I like using ipods because I like music that motivates me.

Cell phone.... cell phone...What is this cell phone thing you are talking about? lol Seriously though, I don't own one. I used to own one but I still have to have a land line not only for internet but for kid purposes and because of the prices I haven't gotten around to getting a new cell phone yet. Sometimes I think I'm missing out but seeing the frustrations of others who are always accessible makes me wonder...

I can understand your dads fear--I've been in a similar situation where I've fallen and needed help. Having a cell phone with you is fine--it's up to you whether or not you answer it. Try making a scheduled time to talk to your dad instead--that will reassure him and give you a break on phone duty.

I have my cellphone with me at all times. You wouldn't know when an emergency arises. Don't feel bad about your dad. He is 79 yrs old and people that age are very sensitive, especially if they're sick. As I see it the main reason why you have a cellphone is for emergency purposes. You can bring the phone with you in the bathroom. Sometimes, I do that when I'm waiting for a call. Or if someone's living with you, you can ask them to look an eye on your phone. My cellphone is my communication with my daughter, in case of emergency she can contact me right away.

For me it is the feeling only when you are angry but try erase it you gain more love to your cellphone.

I use to have a job that even while I slept it was expected that I answer the phone regardless of my comatose state. It was so frustrating I could not breath. Whenever I took vacation was when they mostly called it was rediculous that they could not understand when I was down under the sea and scuba diving and not able to answer. With your Father, whoa a tough one for me to say that he is a bit unreasonable because if he per chance does have one day a heart attack you would forever regret not having answered. So my friend what I can recommend is continue to answer as much as you can when you can and when you are indisposed well, just know that you did the best you could and was the best daughter each time you way our of your power could be.

i don't have problems like that, i just called my mom today because she called first and i had not answered it because i was in the cr, and i have to call her back so that she will not be upset, she always easily upset when no one will answer her call, so i explain to her why i haven't answer. Cellphones are helpful, as i can call the person or text if i had something to tell them, and i will be upset to my husband when he always forget to bring his phone when he will go somewhere else and i'm not with him, i always want him to bring the phone so that i can contact him anytime when his out of sight.

Im with you on that one I hate cell phones and house phones or work phones I dont like to talk on the phone too much but I have to I work for a company that requires me to carry a cell phone as well as work all day answering phone calls from clients I hate hate hate it but nothing I can do to change it well other than quit and that is not gonna happen...your case is different but hang in there:-)
