Quiet Time or shut that damn phone off

Today I finally came to the moment I never thought would happen.  I had to turn away from my dear friend.  I had to ignore my always faithful companion.  I had to...power down...my mobile phone.  It became too much of a distraction with its incessant beeping, buzzing and flashing.

Too many folks know my phone is always on, and have somehow twisted that knowledge into the logical conclusion that I must always want to talk, or play a game, or text, or or or.  Well, today, they were wrong.  Today, my phone was like the friend that won't zip it during a great movie.  Blah blah blah.  Wait! What just happened in the movie?  Damn it, man, shut up!

I have this odd feeling  my phone is going to find a way to retaliate for ignoring it.  I'm sure the phone will activate the camera flash blinding me while I'm driving home from work one night.  Maybe I've created a mobile phone version of Christine?
