I don’t know about you, but when I get a new cell phone or car or camera I’m incredibly excited to use it and figure out all the features on said item.
My cell phone has been broken for 3 weeks now and it barely functions and shuts itself off without warning, basically it’s been a huge PITA. Yesterday I bid and won a new cell phone to replace the broken one that I’ve been using on eBay. It’s nothing fancy but a slight upgrade from the bulky nextel phone I’ve been using for the past couple of years.
The thing about getting a new toy or gadget or car that strikes me funny is how excited people get (myself included) and how we want to share this information with everyone around us. Like when you get a new car and you drive it around to show your friends and relatives as if they really give a shit about it.
No one cares except the person who gets the new item. People might pretend to care to try to be nice, but they really don’t. I have to remind myself of that little fact when I reiterate the story for the 20th time to the Mrs about the bidding process on eBay that won me the cell phone or showing her any new features it might have.
Here’s my pretty basic new cell phone that I shouldn’t be posting because no one really cares, (I can’t resist)
Good Morning Gloucester
