But as we are talking mobile phones here.
Nomophobia........ ever heard of it.
It’s a proposed term for those who have a dependency on their mobile and the thought of being without it etc........ I think.
It’s probably just another made up word to use for some kind of anxiety attack or summit.
I lost my mobile a few years back. Had to wait a while for the replacement to come through. It actually only took a few days before I realised the world hadn’t come to an end and that my life was not severely impacted where I felt like tossing myself off a high building.
That’s throwing myself to a certain death before any of you get funny.
What the hell did we all do before mobile phones for gods sake ?

We enjoyed a simpler less stressful non-JIT life.
Michael McIntyre made a similar humorous conceit in his Saturday show just past.
Back in the days before smart phones were invented did we leave the house for an afternoon and suddenly get a panic attack and feel the need to fill the boot of the car with...
All volumes of the Encyclopedia Brittanica...
A stills camera and a video camera...
A map of the World and an A2Z of every major city...
A calculator...
Our entire record collection...
An alarm clock...
Every photo we have ever taken...
A compass...
and of course a pissy little torch.
It made me laugh.
Hell, do you remember the days before debit and credit cards when the banks closed at 12 noon on a Saturday ? If unable to get to the bank in time then in order to get some ready cash my Dad just used to go to M&S and buy a suit using a cheque and then immediately return it at the refund desk for hard cash.
We made do without.
Life is too f*cking convoluted and bureaucratic now. I have a suspicion that dementia is increasing largely because the i-World is actually putting excessive constant demand on our primitive primate brains.
It’s not you, it’s them.
Kind Regards,
