I wish I could thumb you up more. That drives me apeshit. I'll look at my phone after having it on silent for a bit and see one normal text message and thirteen frantic ones about why I'm mad at someone...

Exactly!! And I somehow get blamed for something completely stupid and non-existent if I don't answer soon!

75, while I agree with everything you've stated, my cell has actually saved my life, more than once. My chronic illness causes me to convulse, pretty often, and even black out. It can happen anywhere, at any time. I live alone so if my boyfriend texts me and calls me over a certain amount of time, he knows something's wrong and he's always been right. If we know we won't be texting each other as much as usual, we give each other a heads up. So, for people like me, who have a chronic illness, cell phones are a blessing. But I can't stand it when people fight over not responding to a text/call fast enough. It's so petty and most people treat it like it's life or death when it clearly isn't. It makes me wish that I wasn't so sick and couples still wrote love letters/notes to each other. Luckily, my boyfriend and I surprise each other with them every once in a while.

*I meant when my boyfriend tries to contact me and doesn't get s response, he knows something is wrong...my mistake.
