If you could "un-invent" one thing... (1 Viewer)

[Raider Nation]

This one is easy for me. I wish text messaging was never invented. It has completed the dumbing down of our culture.

I was out the other night at a restaurant/bar. There were five girls (mid 20s) sitting at a table waiting for dinner. ALL of them were texting with their head down.



Seriously???

WHY BOTHER LEAVING THE HOUSE?

I got a buddy who has his phone in his hand every waking second of his life. Actually 2 buddies like this. Nauseating. Went out for my birthday a few months back and the kid couldn't even have a conversation - texting all night. Say 1 line and go right back to his phone. Mixed with 5 red bulls and vodkas and I was hot. We got in a little scuffle in my driveway it pissed me off so much.

Glad I'm not the only one with "friends" like that.Memo to folks who do this: it makes the people who are actually with you feel insignificant.

As usual, you are dead wrong. I never imagined having one, but got one as a gift and it's THE ultimate nap accessory and if you had one you'd agree.

Yeah, I have issues with a close friend spending the entire night of my birthday celebration doing nothing but texting on his cell phone. Guilty as charged.

one of my guilty pleasures is an appreciation of "trashy hot" women, but the never-ending stream of ill-advised, ill-conceived, ill-placed ink is ruining the enjoyment I used to derive solely from bad hairstyles and poor fashion choices placed upon otherwise shapely female figures.

I'd go with the breadbox. It's invention makes size too easy to judge.
