Cell phone abuse is a worldwide epidemic which is now affecting millions of men, women and children, with no relief in sight.
To the victims of cell phone abuse we say; we feel your pain and, though it's difficult, you will survive this horrible public abuse.
To the cell phone abusers we say ... try a little cell phone courtesy ... and do not burden or abuse others with your pseudo social and/or business self-importance. Or, at least, if you are in public and there are strangers around, keep your cell phone calls interesting ... and short. On behalf of the millions of us who suffer cell phone abuse every day, we thank you.
