Bunch of crumby flit things that prevent people from actually having a little intellectual conversation. I wonder what old Alexander Graham Bell would think? Phones kill me, they really do.

Same here. I tend to think of it more as a handheld internet device than an actual phone most of the time.
Doesn't help that I have a crippling fear of phone calls, I suppose...
i phone more than i text, and the only other thing i use my phone for is an alarm clock.
Same here. I mean, I don't really like talking on the phone either (there are few people who can keep me on the phone for more than 5 minutes and exceedingly few who I can actually hold a conversation on the phone for any sufficent length of time.), but I still prefer phone calls to texting. Except when it's my mother calling to make sure I made it home from college safely everyday. Then texting is preferable.

Talking on the phone is awkward and scary when I'm not familiar with the person on the other end. My mother despises the fact that this prevents me from wanting to do such simple things as order pizza but I can't really help it.
I can sympathize. When I was your age my mother and I would argue for hours on pizza nights because I would refuse to make the call.
Eventually I always gave in, because she'd go "well then we'll just have pb&j" and my siblings would get all mad at me and it sounds pathetic but this is mildly traumatic to even think about >_<

Which makes sense because it was kind of esoteric.

*smug*
Phones in general seem to be used for phone calls less often anymore.
I mean I prefer calling, but most people don't even pick up the phone anymore unless it's a text message.

If only online ordering came a few years earlier, both you and I wouldn't have to deal with it quite as much.
