Hands-free

Agree with Anonymous Coward. Hands-free is the way to go but then you wouldn't be able to actually see the latest line in phones that our sufferer is posing with. Have a vague suspicion that some folk think it's pansy-ish or soppy to use a hands-free unit. Hence the large number of drivers still hand-holding the damn things.

There's a reason why it only affects mobile users

It's because you don't sit with your regular landline hooked to your ear all day and all night like twats who can't shut the fuck up for a minute do with mobiles.

Before you say what about operators, call centers and such, if you've ever worked in such a place you'd know people who work on the telephone all day use headsets in order to prevent neck problems - which mobile users probably also have but because so many people have neck and middle/upper back problems these days no one notices or blames the mobile. Same as people who work every day with computers don't seem to understand that sitting with bad posture for decades is the reason they have pain around or below one of their shoulder blades and perhaps in the area of their middle back just above the kidneys. That one takes months just to fix the curvature they put into their spine, let alone do something to alleviate the stress and pain on their ligaments or arthritis in their rib cage.

With these comments

I feel as if I'm being browbeaten into stupidity with one hand, while receiving the soothing massage of education with the other. It's like listening to Big Brother on Radio 3.
