Ghost calls
No, not phone calls from the dead.
How long have you had a cellphone? do you hang it from your belt? stick it in a pocket? Do you turn it to “vibrate” when you don’t want to annoy people with the ringer?
SO when you don’t have the phone, does your hip or pocket or belt vibrate anyway? Do you answer a phone that you don’t have?
No, me neither. Not ever. Hardly. More than once a day or so. Nope.

I’ve changed the default ringer on my Motorola, so I don’t want to answer other people’s phones when they go off anymore. I have not changed the default text message notifier, so when someone else’s goes off, I’m pulling mine out to check.
I hate cell phones. I stick mine in my purse, never answer it and never realize when it’s ringing. If someone calls, my reaction is, “What is that sound?” then by the time I realize, I never can get the call in time before it kicks over to voice mail. In about a week, I’ll realize the battery is dead and recharge the damn thing.
I guess I’m just one of those people who never got into the whole craze.
Poor Dick though, everytime a phone rings on TV, he’s grabbing his cell.
My problem is that my intestines rumble and I think it’s the damn phone.
I set mine on vibrate and put it in my front pocket. At my old age that’s the only excitement I get.
A friend of my wife mentioned this last year and I made up a term to describe it: Pseudo cell phone vibrosis. Then I googled it. Quite a few hits! Mentioned this to people at work and they had the same thing happen to them. It happens when you don’t even have the phone on you, right?
Googled it just now, only one hit?
Had the phantom jiggle ever since mu first flip phone that had the feature. I don’t hear, or think where is that music when it rings. Most of the time anymore I have it on do not disturb and just check it from time to time.
Seems to work that way.
Weird thing is that if I hear a cell phone rings on the TV, over radio, or even over my police scanner, I reach for mine. The ring tone sounds exactly the same. I can’t tell the difference. If a landline phone rings on TV, etc. I don’t even look up because the difference is obvious. Maybe I need to get my hearing checked…
For full blown phone entertainment have a Mexican friend who really “rolls” the letter “R” when speaking! My friend Marquez says his name like…. Marrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrquez.
While Marquez is saying the name, Marrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrquez I place the receiver to my crotch. It feels great! I gotta go call some Mexican restaurants now and have ’em read their menus to me. Oh yeah. Keep rollin’ them “R’s” baby-girl!
Geez – I thought it was just me.
Kishkaringtonitis. Happens all the time.
My phone vibrates constantly when it’s not on me.
It’s in my pocket on vibrate. If it goes off, I sometimes check it. If it’s someone I want to talk to, I might answer it.

Wow, Og, I’m sure glad you brought this up. Now I know that it’s not just me. I haven’t been this relieved since I found out that all boys ma… Well, you know.
Hey, if it wasn’t for the vibrate feature of my phone, I’d never get any action…
Hang on, the TV’s ringing.
