Cell Phones

[evaelisabeth]

The Irish are addicted, deeply and pathologically to their mobile phones. I kid you not, everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, has a cell phone. Not only do they have a phone, they use them constantly to talk, to text, to blow their nose. Especially the under 30's seem to be most deeply affected. Not only do they use their mobiles constantly I have observed that on the bus they hold onto them and caress and stroke them (you think I'm kidding) in the hopes that someone, anyone will call. My bus takes an hour give or take and I had a teenager sitting next to me that texted constantly during the entire bus ride. I swear I don't know how they keep the damn things charged or even how they pay their bills.

This is going to be mildly annoying, please Gods don't let this addiction be contagious.
