Quite right, too.
We had a word with Mrs. Dongle.

Re: Things that annoy you!

I have no idea if this has been written about in here before, but I'm not about to' loose the will to live by trawling all the way back to find out . . what really annoys me?

Smart Phones and those who bring them into my home and then proceed to keep checking/using them while they share my company.
Yes I have a mobile phone (as does Mrs LongDriver), but they are non smart and have all the facilities we need from radio to music player as well as the ability to make/receive calls and send/receive SMS text messages. Another advantage as I see it is its charge holding capacity .. I charge on average once every 12 days to two weeks. My children and grandchildren have to charge their smartphones every night.

What's more annoying is that we are gradually all being forced into owning one if we want to take part in the modern World.

Re: Things that annoy you!

I'm absolutely content with living in the way I do now without a smart phone and at 76 I cant see me changing my opinion.

I can guarantee LongDriver that should you invite me to your home for a drink and a meal, my old clamshell phone will remain silent....

Welcome to the forum by the way.....

I had one for many years - a business phone. It meant that I was on call 24/7. When I retired a few tears ago I decided that I didn't want another. But I walked the dog in places where my dear wife thought I might get set upon. So, against my wishes, she got me one. El cheapo - I think it cost ten quid from Argos.

I never use it. I don't even know where the charger is.
