  15. Cell phones drive me nuts and the texting will make my head explode. I had some serious hospital time this spring almost 3 months , and could hardly walk ,any way I fell and couldn't get up, had no way to call for help because the dam phone was in my truck with my keys (panic button ).I laid there thinking would this be the night I die from hypothermiera .after about an hour of struggling I just called for help ,lucky me it was an early warm night and people had their windows open.My two neighbors heard me and came over . so good and evil with cell phones .
