Rocking out in my car...on my phone

I don't drive much, but when I do I love cranking up the music and rocking out to whatever song is on. But I don't want other people to see me doing that because then I feel stupid; I think other people look stupid when I see them doing the same thing. It doesn't make sense, but that 's what happens.

I recently came up with a good idea that will allow you to rock out and not look stupid. You need a cell phone to do this. Put the phone up to your ear, but don't call anyone. Crank up the radio and go crazy. People will see you but will just think you are yelling at someone. Way to establish authority while listening to music!

Anybody there? What happens when you accidentally call someone from your cell phone

Don't you hate it when you look at your call list on your cell phone and realize a call was made from your phone without your knowledge? I can usually trace this back to my kids, but sometimes I find that buttons have gotten pressed while the phone was in my pocket. What's worse is when I look at the call duration and notice that the call was over 10 minutes long. Why in the world was the call so long? And even worse than that, is when I realize that my wife and I were probably arguing during that 10 minute period.

Did the person listen? Was it just dead air and the call stayed connected? What was going on?

I'm here to tell you that the person did listen, because that is exactly what I do when you accidentally call me. Admit it, you do too. Whether you are in the car, in the kitchen, or in your bedroom, I wait patiently and listen to life in your home. What's going on there? How does your family really act? I love getting a sneak peak into your life without you knowing about it. Maybe we could call it reality phone conversations instead of reality tv. Do I hang up if I hear yelling? No way! I get involved and try to take sides.

Anyway, just wanted to admit that when you accidentally call, I am purposefully listening.
