5 SIGNS that you are Using your Phone TOO MUCH...

5 Signs that you are Using your Phone TOO MUCH...

 

1. You have "phonedenitis" (similar to tendonitis, it is where you are holding your phone too much and it manages to somehow get strained...I currently am suffering from this and it is WORSE than a paper cut). I now have to hold my phone in this uncomfortable claw like pose so that my finger does not ache.

2. You talk on your phone so often that you RUB off the color from your phone cover.  I actually have a bright blue cover that matched my company colors.  I used my phone lightly for a few months and it was fine.  I now talk on my phone so often that I have to ask my husband or folks in the office if I have "gone smurf" and have blue cover color on my ear and cheek. True story :)

3. You wake up in the morning and "answer" your alarm.  I set my phone to wake me up, and since I now have my phone glued to my ear...I woke up one morning and said, "Hello, 360 Realty" to my waterfall alarm.

4. You answer your business line so much that even when you know the person or are on a personal phone...you give your work greeting.  My grandma called me and I said. "360 Realty, this is Tracey". For a minute she thought she had the wrong number.

5. You talk on your phone so much that you actually send people you know to voicemail.  ONE more call is all you need, right?

 

Any of these sound like you guys?

Thanks for the laugh, Tracey.  The best humor is always the closest to reality!

Erery evening my husband and I have a cocktail on our dock and discuss the day.  I now leave the phone on the charger, because it was really getting in the way of our conversation.

Hi Tracey,

How true... how did we ever manage before cell phones?   Have a great week.  Michael A. Caruso

Hi Tracey,

This is so true!  I recently upgraded to a blackberry curve and have found myself spending too much time on it more so than the ordinary old razor that I just answered and text messaged.  Don't know how I managed before my blackberry addiction!  Good Luck.
