Peculiarity

Mobile phones are a wonderful invention. Having said that, there are many, many times when they drive me completely leary!

I don’t mean other people using their phones where I can overhear what they’re saying – these things are mobile so they can be used anywhere. That’s not a problem.

No, what drives me mad is when they don’t work properly for me. If I’m speaking to someone stood in their kitchen, it really shouldn’t matter which direction they’re facing or whether they’re walking about or not. And how come if my voice is really clear and verging on too loud, that I can just barely hear what’s being said to me?

I’m not a fool. I know that it’s about network coverage and blackspots and weather conditions and landscape and stuff like that. This is just a bit of a rant. The fact that I can produce several good reasons why I can’t hear what’s being said to me doesn’t make it any less annoying or stop it stinging.

I believe that “Gah!” may be the word I’m looking for. Or possibly something less polite.

I'd go for something stronger Greg. I hate mobile phones to.
Have a great day regardless. Hazel xx

I know how you feel, living in the ruralness (is that a word) of the countryside. The signal here is well dodgy! and it is bloody annoying !
