Lost her Phone

I'm an optimist. I always like to believe the best in people. So I kept telling myself that my cell phone was 'lost' rather than 'stolen'. See I kept on thinking to myself that noone would want to steal my phone. It's a rather crappy old one after all. The phone has sentimental value more than anything else. I wanted my phone back so I even sent my phone a text saying that I was willing to pay a $20 ransom. I know the police say that you should never 'negotiate with kidnappers/phone nappers'. But I just really wanted my phone back. I actually thought that would work.

Look, I have a simple philosophy. Most of the time people do the right thing. If I was the person who'd found my phone I know exactly what the 'right thing' would've been. To begin with I would've answered one of the million times when the owner rang the phone. If they didn't call their phone then I would've gone to the person that the phone had contacted. Then I would've called that person and told them that I'd found their friends lost phone. The important point here is that I would've returned the phone. If I didn't then I would've felt simply horrible about it. Plus there's always the good karma benefit. Unfortunately my phone-napper was heartless.

Now I'm rendered phone-less. I'm so used to it that it's almost as if someone decided to hack off my index fingers. I keep on wondering about how anyone managed twenty years ago without cell phones. Whenever I want to hang out with someone/assure my mother that I'm still alive then I flick off a text message. I no longer have that convenience. So instead I've had resort to old school land line calling. That's improving social relationships according to Dr. Phil. Hmm...Well at least I'm improving my relationship with their answer phones  Although I must admit that I do actually appreciate my current cell phone free state. It means that I'm saving hours in my day. No longer am I spending precious minutes checking my phone, which inevitably won't have any new messages anyway or spending hours hunting for my misplaced cell phone. In an attempt to be all happy and glass half full-y then I have to say that although that filthy criminal stole my phone he gave me the gift of time. Cheers mate. Although I'd also like $100 for a new phone.
