The Sound of My Pocket's Own Ruffling

I bought this phone a few months ago.

My old phone stopped working.

I researched all of my options.

I got a phone that calls people all of the time on accident.

I just love it when someone I haven't talked to in a long time calls me and asks if I called them and I have to sheepishly explain that my phone likes to call people by itself.

So that necessitated a reworking of my contacts list, just in case I don't call girls that I went on a date with 3 years ago at school.

But then there's those people I just don't call but I don't feel like I need to take them off my list.

If you get a call from me and you hear the sound of a pocket, yeah, that's my phone, not me.

It's really because the keypad on the exterior has a weak keypad lock and then if it smushes up against something while in my pocket it will easily access my contact list and then call them.

My fiance has gotten a fair number of these pseudo-calls, because not only do I talk to her a lot, but she is near the top of the contacts list alphabetically.

Where do I go from here?

I thought of just taking a really optimistic viewpoint and pretend like I did call people when they call me back. You know, shrug it off and ask how they are doing and tell them I was thinking about them.

Get a new phone? Maybe. Maybe.

Get a male purse? That's a topic for another post.

Turn my phone off when not in use? Yeah, perhaps, but that loses some of the immediacy of the cell phone.

Chuck it off of the 205 Bridge? It's intriguing...
