sooo everyone here on the org has their occasional rant.. and here's mine.

This May I decided I wanted to buy the new Razr because the phone I had then, the camera was broken on it and I didn't like it.. well my contract wasn't up for me to get a new one, so I had to spend the extra money to buy it (ended up being roughly 150 for everything)..

So, I've had this razr since May.. well, my aunt was at the store the other day and was buying her son a new phone and with his phone came the new samsung I posted in the cell phone thread the other day and she asked if I wanted it.. well my grandmother told me to keep my razr also considering A) I paid 150 for it and B) in case my new phone brakes or i lose it I can use the razr.

alright, now to the ridiculous part.. so at about 6 last night my grandma calls me on the phone and says "Sara, does the camera on your old phone work?" I said No and she says "Well you're going to have to give me your razr because your uncle and aunt want Kylie to have a phone with a camera.."

MY COUSIN KYLIE IS 8 MOTHER FUCKING YEARS OLD! SHE IS JUST STARTING THIRD GRADE!!!
I was LIVID!

So I hang up and tell my mom, and my moms pretty mad too and I'm like that's bullshit, im not giving it to her until im good and ready this is ridiculous!

so then we get to my house and not even 10 minutes after I walk in the door my uncle calls "Sara, are you at home?" "yeah, why?" "well because Kylie's throwing a fit so I'm coming to get the phone right now.."

So I had to hold of going to dinner with my family for a little bit so I could spend 30 minutes deleting ALL MY STUFF from MY 150 dollar phone so that my EIGHT YEAR OLD COUSIN WHO CAN BARELY READ can have my phone TONIGHT cause she WANTS it.

By then I'm so mad.. ohh im so mad.
then my uncle bitches at me when he gets the phone because there's no charger and now he has to go buy one??? WHO THE HELL ARE YOU TO TELL ME? He then proceeds to tell my Dad how he doesn't think that I even need a phone period?
Excuse me? You're telling me a 15 year old girl who uses her cell phone all the time and mostly for GOOD reasons that your effing 8 year old daughter needs one before I do?
EWWWWW



It's ridiculous, my cousin already HAS a phone and she's 8! and she had 2 before I ever even got my first one! she got her first one when she was 6.




WHAT IN THE HELL DOES AN 8 YEAR OLD NEED A PHONE FOR?


Please excuse my language and immaturosity. lol (not a word)
im just honestly so appalled and angered by this stupidity lol

it's YOURS. why the hell didn't your parents back you up? if you paid for it, you should've told the little brat to fuck off.

like OMG.

I just don't know what to say.

i hate cells



but i'm totally confused by this story

YOu got a free phone so it does seem a little tight arsed of you not to share things on down

oh hell no.

is she going backpacking thru europe she needs a new RAZR?

Ummmm...if you paid for the phone, why would you give it to anyone? That's just dumb. It belongs to you. Say no...give back the phone they gave you...and that should be it.

Ridiculous.

yeah, I got a FREE phone. They didn't pay anything for that phone.. nothing at all.
I paid 150 dollars for that phone.
They lost nothing, I lost 150 dollars?

and did I mention she's 8 years old and also had TWO other cell phones that are hers?

evenstar3 said:

yeah but the problem is, as much as it's mine I'm on my grandmothers contract, not my parent's because they just switched to Verizon.

I say no, and I have no phone period.
it's a lose-lose situation.

SaraWright10 said:

Then why take it in the first place? Just pass the free one on and keep the razr

Nobody should have a cellphone until they have their own account and can pay for it themselves. Period.

those shisters!

Genesia said:

oh

You should have given her the Samsung phone. What does she need a camera for anyway? Your aunt and uncle sound like they're going to be raising a spoiled brat for a daughter.

families suck sometimes.

Genesia said:

Yeah, so the next time I go to an away game and I'm going to be late coming home.. I'll use my psychic powers to let my mom know I need a ride home

Genesia said:

I actually think they're a great way to ensure the safety of a child. You never know if they're gonna get stranded somewhere like the mall by their friends, etc. etc. I mean these things are unlikely, but you never know.


It freaks me out and makes me nervous as hell my mom doesn't have one. I just don't want a little old lady having her car break down on the side of a road, given today's blood thirsty, crime ridden culture.

You've been hornswoggled by your own grandmother!

guitarslinger44 said:

She is terribly spoiled! She is so rude!
They built a whole nother room on their house for her TOY ROOM?

if its that serious they should at least give you your money back. personally i wouldn't let the girl have her way. if they cut you off get a prepaid phone until you can get your own account.

SaraWright10 said:

Why doesn't your mother come to your games? Then she'd know when you'd be home.

Genesia said:

Why do you care?

When you are 25-30 you will wish that all you had to worry about was which cell phone to keep and which one to give away

Genesia said:

because im in the band!
who wants to watch the same stuff every week.
and sometimes she has to work, therefore cannot be there but can be there after.

there are so many explanations to justify my reasoning for having a cell phone lol

mdiver said:

that's true.

but im 15.
and this is the most i have to worry about right now haha

SaraWright10 said:

So learn a lesson about giving

SaraWright10 said:

my parents never came to a game when i was in my school's band. & yeah, not having a cell phone when i was younger would have been REALLY hard, since both my parents worked.

guitarslinger44 said:

That's my reaction too.

Why didn't your parents step in though?

I mean if you paid for it, why should you have to give it up?
