It's not a bloody electronic leash --- it's a tool, like a screwdriver. I own it; it doesn't own me.

I'm the same way with the regular phone --- caller ID is a good thing. :D

I think it is rude at the point of being served, to stare blankly at the amount owed and hand a card over, as if the cashier is nothing more than a vending machine. Working in a supermarket isn't exactly a fulfilling job - it helps to have customers who talk to you, or at the very least acknowledge you.

I agree totally.

Me too. I also decide if or not I answer the door if I am doing something I don't want interupted. And even if I'm not. There is no law says I have to go running whenever the doorbell rings so I don't, because in the society we live in, it won't be long before we get 'Doorbell Compulsion' legislation. It will happen once every single front door is on ubiquitous CCTV, and every back door too, and a disembodied voice will shout "Answer your door now or we send the door police round."

Make the most of the freedoms we have because they are going.
