I do get more than my fare share of strange mobile phone calls. It’s not because I’m being targeted by a stalker (at least I don’t think I am). It’s because my name begins with “A”, and so who do you think is top in mobile phonebooks? It just takes a loose mobile in a pocket without the key-lock enabled, and I’m getting random calls. You can usually hear the train or car that they’re in.
\nOnce I’ve tried bellowing down the line. I usually call them back. The other Saturday morning, someone’s caller id really wasn’t working and I had to switch my phone off to save battery since it was calling back every minute!
\nOf course with more flip-top phones, I get fewer phone calls now, but text messages continue to rise in popularity, and it only takes a slip of the finger to send your loved one’s message to the person at the top of the list. This seems to happen more later at night. Fortunately I’m certainly a heavy enough sleeper to ensure that a trivial “new text” noise isn’t going to wake me.
\nThe moral of this discourse? Key-locks! (Menu – # on Nokias).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
