A "problem" I am happy NOT to have

I saw an article today and it made me laugh: People are suffering from "ringxiety".

Yeah. I said ringxiety.

To read all about it, go here.

Apparently, people who are TOO attached to their cell phones and Blackberry's are experiencing "phantom vibrations" when they aren't wearing their phones on their hips or storing them in shirt/coat pockets.

I find this to be rather odd, and just a bit sad.

I can't imagine being THAT connected to my cell phone (or wanting to be that connected) that I suffer from "ringxiety" or "fauxcellarm."

And, no...I did NOT make those terms up. Some other terms that I found amusing in this article: phantom vibrations, aftershocks and anticpatory vibrations. (You know, when you can feel your phone is going to vibrate before it does. Spoooooky!).
