Mobile Phones

has any one noticed that when a mobile phone rings in the pub/asda etc....
they always let it ring for about 2mins (polyphonic disco/rap music)it seems that the person wants you to look @ them when they answer & think f*** me thats a small phone, what a cool ringtone.not.
as for texting,why cant they ring each other up instead?
I went in to trade my old mobile in last week & all I got was "do you text"
"do you want polyphonic sound" "do you want 2 colour screens" "do you want games on it " "do you want a camera fitted" when I replied can you ring people up? they realised I was being sarcastic.

hang on. what? you went to trade in your phone last week and they offered you one with polyphonics? and colour screens? really?
did you encounter some manner of time portal to the past when you crossed the threshold of this shop?

Another strange phenomenon. Why is it that people on the other end of a phone line are given priority over those that that are present in person.

The number of times I've been in a car spares shop, Half way through describing my problem the phone will ring. The assistant then says, excuse me. Answers the phone, talks through the callers problem to it's conclution, then comes back to me. The phone rings again, once again, he says "sorry, I'll just have to get this" etc..

During one of these occurances, I got so frustrated, that when he came back to me, I said, "excuse me just a second", got out my mobile phone, phoned the shop, and did the rest of the transaction face to face with our phones to our ear.

It also happened to me at a chip shop recently. Half way through wrapping my order, the phone rings and the girl says. "Just a minute, I'll just get that". She then packs all the stuff for the caller, gives it to her colleague, comes back to me and says. "Sorry, it'll be another 10minutes for chips, we've just run out". I then asked for a pen and wrote down my order and address and said. "If he can't be bothered to collect his order, nor can I. Bring them around to me when they're done!" and walked out. They never turned up though. (just as well, I got a indian on the way home).
