My wife and I share a cell phone for long trips and emergencies. None of our friends have the number. I don't even know what the number is actually. We keep it turned off and barely ever use it.

I really wish our society would establish reasonable norms and etiquette for cell phone use. I can't stand all the people who constantly walk around talking on the phone or texting each other. It's impossible to have a conversation with some people because they are constantly getting text messages and the rings are annoying fragments of songs. I really hate the McMaster Library, students think that they can pop into the stacks to have a conversation on their cell phone. Buses are even worse, how about sitting beside some idiot talking about nothing for 45 minutes on a GO bus while you're trying to read.

Don't get me started on those personal music ipod things, half the world is tuned out of reality because they're wearing headphones.
