Almost anywhere I go people are always talking on their cell phones. They'll be in grocery stores, at the mall, just walking their dog, whatever and always on their phone. I look at situations like these as an opportunity to get away from the chatter but it seems that people just always have the need to talk to someone else.

When raising very small children, women need to talk a lot to explain the basics of life to the kids. Unfortunately, women bring this trait into adult life by spewing out infantile drivel the whole day long.
Men who talk a lot on the phone are just needy and mentally weak.

Men who spend hours on the phone for any other reason than making money (i.e. brokering deals etc) are faggo sorry got to go

always chuckle when i see pissheads, dossers and fucking scruffs with their mobiles glued to their ears like they've actually got anything of interest to say to anyone half decent.
best thing ever though if you're a small fry, drug dealer !"

A lot of people esp women do to avoid eye contact/interaction with other people

They have friends to talk to, like you would have if you would be something else than that moron what you are. Simple as that. There is people talking to their friends, and fucking morons talking to themselves with envy. In fact, this is part of the evolution, because those who has friends will continue their genus, and those who don't have anybody, will die with their cock in their own hand ;D

I notice this with minorities a lot, they never shut up.

Sounds like you're one of those losers who never put their phone down.

It's a addiction... a disease... and it's only going to get worse.
Most of the conversions/texts that happen between these people are mainly narcissistic histrionics.

i try my best when out in public to not take out my phone as much as possible , its hard a time when my girls on her phone

I hate cellphones. One of these days I am going to buy a jammer. I plan on using it in public so I don`t have to listen to what is occuring in other peoples lives.

Years ago I bought one from China. It worked well and was the size of a small phone, the problem was it had to be set to a certain frequency so you coudln't jam all cells but only based on certain carriers and the frequency they used. But when set correctly you will see the reception go from All 5 bars down to nothing instantly to those in a 15-20 foot radius. The jammer though would overheat quickly and blow it's fuse in about 2-3 minutes.
-
That sucks, guess I will have to buy three or four of them so I can eat in relative peace while at a restaurant.
When I go into a public place I leave my cell in the truck, I fail to understand why people would want to hold conversations in the open.
-
Talking on the phone about other things than arrangements that need to be dealt with is for housewifes. No man does this.
-
It's a sad state of affairs it's either on the phone talking or constantly on the Internet, texting, facebooking, whatever the fuck else but its always common to see people have their life tied to their phones
Observe people in groups next time , u can see large groups at any given time completely oblivious all on their phones at the same time

Thank you! Even though I'm posting on my iPhone right now I hate cell phones and what they done to people. We waste so much time on them. And like you said you leave the house to get away, I agree 100%. I plan on weening myself off my phone but right now I kinda have to keep it in case of emergency because a family member is having health problems.
One of the things I love about going into the woods is no cell phone reception.

It's a sign of rampant insecurity and a genuine growing feeling of being disconnected with life and society in general. People are insecure and use "business on the phone" to project an aura of coolness. And being disconnected with society is a problem that compounds; the more disconnected you feel, the more you retract inwards to feel some connection to anything.
People have forgotten how to talk to people, so they chat on the phone at best, or at worst, text or email.
People are fearful of looking "uncool" out in public; how could they be so uncool as to not have someone who needs to talk to them immediately on a device. Therefore, people make busy work with the phones, in the hopes that all around them are impressed with their seemingly important goings-on on their phones.
Connecting with a phone prevents people from having to connect with random people on the street; that can be scary, and awkward, and different. You'll find most people just putt about on their phone to look too busy in a strange and unfamiliar setting with lots of people about...after all, god forbid the person next to them talk to them. They also wouldn't know how to approach the person next to them even if they wanted to; better to look busy than awkward.
I actually hate my phone. I have to have it for work. I use it as sparingly as possible.
If I sit next to you on a plane, I will actually smile at you. I will ask you how you're doing, followed by one or two conversation starter questions. If you don't want to talk, I'll get the hint by question number two and will shut up for the flight...I can look busy on my phone as well as you can. But you'd be surprised though, how many of these phone addicts are starved for real human attention. They'll gladly tell me their life story on a plane to help me pass a trip to Seattle. And when we get off, I'll say good-bye. And not 30 seconds later, they're back on their phones because no one new came along to talk to them.
It's so funny - rather than admit our vulnerabilities and desires to connect with people, we shy away like little teenagers who pretend like they're too cool for it all anyways. And these are adults I'm speaking about.
I can't figure out of society is alienating people as it spins out of control on this current course, or if people really want to be alienated out of some morbid desire for unhappiness and as a result, have created a society around them that enables this desire.
I do know this is not how we're supposed to live. This disconnection with people creates a pathological sense of apathy around the frailty of life and the precious gift of human connectivity...real, genuine, face-to-face connectivity. The kind that builds lasting friendships.
We're all in a lot of trouble if we don't start talking WITH each other, instead of AT each other. We need to INTERACT...not just post our shit on facebook so other people can post their shit.
This forum is just another tool used to undermine real connectivity. And I'm as guilty as the next guy, because I spend time on here doing what I preach against.

The sad reality is this: All those people who spend countless hours on their phone should realize that if they were to die tomorrow, the world would keep on ticking. Their existence is not as important as they think they are.
There have been times where I have been on an elevator or something and I take out my cell phone to answer a text or email. I have noticed that a few people in the elevator then take out their cell phones. Its almost like they are trying to prove that they are important and popular as well.
But yeah, I often wonder who these people are talking to all day. Its baffling.

Sorry...next time one of my people call..I wont pick up because I dont want to offend the antisocial losers ..hahaha
I see it both ways. Lots of antisocial people glued to the internet on their phone.
Take for example this photo which I'm sure we've all experienced in some way. Instead of being glued to their phone they could take the opportunity to conversate with eachother ...which is what one would expect from people standing around waiting with nothing to do.

Well, I have business contacts, friends and relatives who call me, and I have a phone with hands free. Why I wouldn't talk with them when they call? "Sorry, I can't talk with you just now, because there is some fucking morons who don't like it?". Get a life, you pitiful little wanker..

That photo looks like it's from Sydney, Australia.
Here is someones opinion of Sydney which sums it up:
Sydney is a festering hellhole of a place to live. With a statement like that, this article was always going to be subjective, but I've listed a few good things underneath. My advice: come see the place, but be careful about staying!
Things I Hate
- Housing. Prices in Sydney are some of the highest in the world. Not only because of the location but because population growth is outpacing development, thanks to our incompetent state government. Realistically, only two-income households (average) can consider buying a house within an hour of the CBD.
- Renting. Because of that scarcity, rents are ludicrous while rental vacancies are below 1% in some areas. You'll be competing against 20 - 50 people to rent that crumbling hovel of an apartment. Landlords here are diabolical: they'll dodge repairs while raising rents at the drop of a hat.
- Traffic congestion, retarded motorists, abominable roads and limited parking - a whole 'nother article.
- Appalling public transport. There are vast swathes of the metro area that are not adequately covered, thanks to our incompetent state government, so you'll have to drive. If you're lucky, you can rub up against sweaty commuters in your 10-year old train that's running late. (RailCorp is some kind of hybrid business orchestrated by our greedy state government and has been the subject of an ICAC corruption enquiry).
- Antisocial people. Nobody in Sydney wants to make your acquaintance. Sydneysiders are incompassionate, rude and snobby. They walk briskly while listening to their iPod and averting eye contact. Sydney motorists will overtake you while you're sliding down the road after falling off your bike (true story).
- The crowds: people everywhere, on the streets, on the platform, in traffic. It's a bloody ant colony.
- Obsession with wealth and glamour. On the streets, BMW X5s, Porsche Cayennes and Hummers. Versace suits, designer sunglasses and pointy shoes. In the clubs, tiny dresses and 6-inch heels. Go to the Races at Randwick and see what I mean. Nary a skerrick of substance.
- It's bloody expensive! Rents are ridiculous. It costs $15 just to get on the train out of the airport, or $15 to park for an hour. Local beers at city establishments will cost $5, spirits upwards of $10 and cocktails $20. Meter parking varies anywhere from $2.20 to $6.60 per hour, and you'll need it. Using taxis more than occasionally will bankrupt you.
- Everyone seems to be highly strung.Stressed about their exams, their work, their mortgage... who knows?! Some might like life "fast-paced", but I think life's not meant to be that way. Happy heart attack!
- There is very little intrinsic culture to Sydney, even more so than Australia in general.I have fond memories of Old Sydney Town, but it closed down in 2003.Culture seems to revolve around drinking, working and holidays?Oh yes and sport.Australia is a young country after all.
- Sydney is a major entry point for migrants into Australia, and though I have nothing against migration per se (I am one), volumes of ill-mannered migrants inhabit the city. These are people who refuse to integrate and move only amongst their own insular groups. In some places, the typical bystander won't speak English! Conversing loudly in foreign tongues in public is not appealing.
- Urban sprawl. On average, it takes more than an hour in traffic to drive out of city, if that matters to you.Unless you pay coastal rents, you'll also spend time in the car getting to the beach.
Mitigating Factors
- The geography of the harbour, the beaches, the bridges, it's all very beautiful.
- The weather is relatively mild for a temperate locale, with warm, sunny summers.
- The handful of tourist traps: the Harbour Bridge, the Opera House, Bondi beach, Manly beach and ferry, Taronga Zoo, The Blue Mountains (getting B-grade now...)
- The city is quite multicultural, so you can dine at many foreign eateries and partake in culturally diverse activites such as salsa.
- Jobs are plentiful and pay better than other areas, but you'll need it!

:D

- The city is quite multicultural, so you can dine at many foreign eateries and partake in culturally diverse activites such as salsa.
- Jobs are plentiful and pay better than other areas, but you'll need it!
valid points, but Sydney is not a hellhole.

is that why you have 10 accounts and keep having to reinvent yourself cause of the constant ownings of how fragile you really are?
ive never met you dude, but god your a insecure girl.
keep rocking those avia from 1995 and thinking you look good, your a tiny tit with no legs and bodybuilders dont respect cumguzzling old fags like you. who live in a smith machine and only train arms. i dont even like training arms and mine destroy yours. your nothing and never will be to the guys who really bodybuild.
and yes girl, this is a bodybuilding board, i think you forget your place routinely
I know ...that's why respected competitiors on this board :havee posted that I should compete..and I would do very well
I get that you dont like me ....but really, your posts are fucking idiotic.
I have a better build than you, and you talk down to me like I'm some twat that never posted a pic...you look like a fucking idiot. ;)
For all of your tough talk I have yet to see a picture of you that looks better than me
-
LOL I missed this post.
EDB is comical...never have I seen someone play the "ubermacho take no shit tough guy" role in EVERY fucking post he makes.
You must be quite the badass ::)
EDB strikes me as the weird guy that constantly sends angry complaint letters to every company that ever committed a perceived wrong against him. Probably the odd man out that never gets invited to rooftop parties at his moderately priced apartment complex, and so he constantly complains to management about 'noise levels' while everyone else has a good time.
Dude is a shooting spree waiting to happen. ;D

fuck sakes with your pathetic tren induces double bicep shot. You'd be winded in 2 seconds trying to fight someone wondering why your pathetic attempt at a punch didn't have the effect your imagination thought it would

Lets see yours fatfuck ;)
LOL @ "fighting"...how old are you ?
oh wait....you're the guy who was going to beat the shit out of all the "douchebags" in Vegas if they looked at you wrong. Reality is you sat by yourself pouting like a chick with no prom date while everyone else was enjoying themselves. And you had to pay for a prostitute last minute to at least say you had sex with a chick.
what a "stud" ::)
Truth is if you saw me in person...you would do what every guy does. stare at me because my build destroys yours and try not to get caught staring. Happens EVERY day ;)

no..... I'm terrified of all of these "badasses" on here. I don't get how they have the balls to anonymously talk tough the way they do..that's crazy :P
I would be too scared
-
you would not do well competing. i know math is a sore subject for you, but at 6 foot plus and 230lbs? your not gonna do well against 5'8 230lbs who is fully developed and not missing half their body
your a gym bodybuilder, your 50, you have not, and will not , ever do a show, these arent insults, they are facts, embrace them, there would be more honor in it for you.
-

Groin likes to intimidate the 17 year olds at his gym. he is that pathetic 40+ year old guy who tries to look young in his bejeweled black dress shirt with rolled up sleeves, spiked hair, faded jeans and black boots as he cruises the clubs nursing his Heineken light.

I mean....I can understand EDB.....he's just a fatfuck playing a role on here...he's always been all talk
But Epic Asswipe is a competitor...he must have tons of pics he can "own" me with...but he chooses to just flap his gums rather than post a pic next to mine :)
-
That sucks, guess I will have to buy three or four of them so I can eat in relative peace while at a restaurant.
When I go into a public place I leave my cell in the truck, I fail to understand why people would want to hold conversations in the open.
I use a phone for business, but when I'm eating, it always stays in the car.

i posted pics recently num nums, before i even started my diet, look it up
the thing is, i dont take selfies in the bathroom allot. i took the pics i took recently to send to my trainer dr J. and thats the only reason id take a candid pic of myself. i dont go to the gym and wear tanks tops and pants. i wear 2x 3x size everything and i train for me, i dont go to show off, i leave that for the stage. i know this is hard for you to comprehend but it is what it is, getting into a pic posting war with some old criminal on the net is not my idea of "winning"
i dont need to own you with a pic, you own yourself and get ran off the board every few months. Just to come back under a new name. your a joke and a clown, compulsive liar, and convict. you own yourself just by staying alive

Like snx posits: Groink/EA feud - not so much.

i agree, i dont know why i pick on him, its immature of me, but man someone has to drop the hammer of reality sometimes you know?
snx is a very intelligent man, i enjoy his writing

Fuck no. I love it man. No shame. Have you ever had one chick lay face down on the back of another while you slid your cock in and out of both of their vaginas?

I always look forward to reading Groink's posts. He's an elder stateman so I always tune in to what the older fellas on Getbig have to post. I have no axe to grind but how in the hell does this guy's mug shot get posted on this website?? What was the accusation of said crime for this mugshot?

When raising very small children, women need to talk a lot to explain the basics of life to the kids. Unfortunately, women bring this trait into adult life by spewing out infantile drivel the whole day long.
Men who talk a lot on the phone are just needy and mentally weak.
;D

Why must all great thread digress down the path of bullshit by phantom posters and selfie pics???
Some points:
I train with a 50 year old guy. Been married 27 years. He just got an iPhone 5s, first smart phone he's owned. I asked him today near the end of our workout if he felt it was "hardcore" of him to be texting while training? He laughed, admitted his fault and pocketed the device. It then led to the real questions. How could a man and woman possibly live alongside one another this many years without the need for constant interaction and accountability that a cell phone brings with it? He said, plainly, "well, we made plans and stuck to them. We went to work and didnt see each other until we got home. It was simple". I then downloaded on him the nightmare that a cellphone and texting can bring to your typical relationship. Especially one in its early days.
I know of one kid spending $90/mo on probation fees and $1300 on a class for anger management (yes in California) after he was arrested for slamming his girl friends phone on the ground and being arrested thereafter. He'd read some lurid texts from some other shit for brains and spent the night in jail, then was arrested once more when he showed to court with her to face the charges, overlooking the court order to remain separate from his by then, reconnected girlfriend. Your average teen or young adult does not have the skills within to manage life with these things.
I've had an iPhone for almost 2 years now and am about over it. The constant buzzing and vibrating is maddening. Yes, i know its all in the settings and I've changed some, but I'm still over it. The temptation to check emails when theres nothing I can do about the complications within them robs my days from simply relaxing. Its become a glorified mp3 player in the gym really.
Talking on the phone is expected when I see women buried with their face in a text or gabbing away. They need that kind of thing to feel secure and enabled. When I see men doing it, i see them, as other posters have said, as week and simple. I usually wont answer my phone in public unless i can sit down somewhere or lean up against a wall and only then, in absolute emergencies. I work in a place where men frequent and its all too often, low and behold, they get a call from you know who, just checking up on them and their whereabouts. Im forced to think, how many more times a day they must get the same call?
I have one friend who is very intellectual and travels a lot. Been all over the world and makes money doing it. Refuses to get a cell phone and says he likely never will. Yes, he's employed most the year and makes plenty of money to live on and saves some. Life, can be lived without the cell.

I believe he was caught in the same car as someone with drugs. Though do not quote me on this. I do know drugs were involved.

I avoid talking on the phone at all costs.
and if I do have to talk on the phone, I move far away from people so nobody can hear what I'm saying.
spending years in prison, having every single word you said on the phone recorded and listened to makes you a lil nervous with phones.
i'll usually text on a phone that's in no way connected to me or my name.... esp biz. never on a phone that has personal emails or fb or anything and soon as somebody says my name in a text, that phone is smashed, in a metal coffeecan, surrounded with magnets, soaking in acid, in a trash can in an apartment complex across town . lol.

It's a sign of rampant insecurity and a genuine growing feeling of being disconnected with life and society in general. People are insecure and use "business on the phone" to project an aura of coolness. And being disconnected with society is a problem that compounds; the more disconnected you feel, the more you retract inwards to feel some connection to anything.
People have forgotten how to talk to people, so they chat on the phone at best, or at worst, text or email.
People are fearful of looking "uncool" out in public; how could they be so uncool as to not have someone who needs to talk to them immediately on a device. Therefore, people make busy work with the phones, in the hopes that all around them are impressed with their seemingly important goings-on on their phones.
Connecting with a phone prevents people from having to connect with random people on the street; that can be scary, and awkward, and different. You'll find most people just putt about on their phone to look too busy in a strange and unfamiliar setting with lots of people about...after all, god forbid the person next to them talk to them. They also wouldn't know how to approach the person next to them even if they wanted to; better to look busy than awkward.
I actually hate my phone. I have to have it for work. I use it as sparingly as possible.
If I sit next to you on a plane, I will actually smile at you. I will ask you how you're doing, followed by one or two conversation starter questions. If you don't want to talk, I'll get the hint by question number two and will shut up for the flight...I can look busy on my phone as well as you can. But you'd be surprised though, how many of these phone addicts are starved for real human attention. They'll gladly tell me their life story on a plane to help me pass a trip to Seattle. And when we get off, I'll say good-bye. And not 30 seconds later, they're back on their phones because no one new came along to talk to them.
It's so funny - rather than admit our vulnerabilities and desires to connect with people, we shy away like little teenagers who pretend like they're too cool for it all anyways. And these are adults I'm speaking about.
I can't figure out of society is alienating people as it spins out of control on this current course, or if people really want to be alienated out of some morbid desire for unhappiness and as a result, have created a society around them that enables this desire.
I do know this is not how we're supposed to live. This disconnection with people creates a pathological sense of apathy around the frailty of life and the precious gift of human connectivity...real, genuine, face-to-face connectivity. The kind that builds lasting friendships.
We're all in a lot of trouble if we don't start talking WITH each other, instead of AT each other. We need to INTERACT...not just post our shit on facebook so other people can post their shit.
This forum is just another tool used to undermine real connectivity. And I'm as guilty as the next guy, because I spend time on here doing what I preach against.
Physician, heal thyself!
yet here you are typing away, talking to strangers on the internets :P
-
Almost anywhere I go people are always talking on their cell phones. They'll be in grocery stores, at the mall, just walking their dog, whatever and always on their phone. I look at situations like these as an opportunity to get away from the chatter but it seems that people just always have the need to talk to someone else.
Most folks aren't actually talking to anyone, they just want you to think that they are.

True. I used to see this homeless guy every morning on my way to work. He'd just be talking out loud to himself. Obvious crazy man. But today people would think he's normal just talking on his Bluetooth.

Agreed. That's why I pointed out the incongruence in my post, as it relates to my opinion versus my behavior. Those of you familiar with signaling theory are laughing at me. But you're right to call it out. Why am I powerless to resist getbig? Why is this motley crew of unknown people so addictive?
