Technological setbacks

For some reason, there was a lot of phone-slamming at the office today.

"Must be the end of the week," one of my co-workers commented.

And then I realized that for most people, the office is really the only place left where you can slam your phone.

I mean, most people have cordless phones at home, and no matter how hard you mash that on/off button, it's not going to beep any louder at you.

Same thing with cell phones. And even if you have the clamshell variety, they only give a moderate snap when you close them.

Phone-slamming: another victim of progress.
