If that blinking little red light brings you happiness… you may want to take a step back and assess your Crackberry situation. Like any addiction it can be treated… and you are not the only one out there. Are you a victim of the Crackberry?
This is absolutely hilarious. I do not have a Blackberry and don't want one because of the "symptoms" listed above. It makes it even more amusing that crackberry is in the dictionary now. I suppose it is a legit techno-syndrome. I can't deny the endless possibilities and wonders associated to technology, but hey, I never want to be that fixated on a machine. I stick with my old school cell phone that basically makes phone calls, oh ya and has a camera, but I never use it.
ReplyDeleteThat blinking red light brings me joy....not gonna lie.
ReplyDeleteNo worries Elyse, it brings me joy as well. Especially now that my phone lives on silent mode.
ReplyDeleteThe worst is when the red light flashes and you don't have a message!!!!
ReplyDeleteYES Alex, I agree! For some reason my phone does that sometimes too... but I can definitely say I'm a Crackberry addict.
ReplyDeleteThere is no little red light on my phone... there is no bbm....
ReplyDeleteBut I still feel great love for My5 and texting on a regular cellular device.
Oh and Kender - the picture is scary.
Ps...
ReplyDeletei have gone through 4 phones in the past 2 years.
just realized it a moment ago.
KILL ME.
I don't own a blackberry (simply because I don't want to become addicted, I know I would). But watching other people use theirs is pretty funny. My roommate is constantly checking hers even if a message doesn't come in. I'm aware of the red light and I don't even own one. It's taking over my life too!
ReplyDeleteWhat's a Blackberry?
ReplyDeleteI have definitely had those Phantom Vibrations where I stare at my phone and think it is vibrating..it's a bit embarrassing when no one is calling..
