cell phone-itis

A socio/psychological condition characterized by ones inability to stop talking on their cell phone; commonly unable to turn their cell phone off; often and especially in enviornments that are not appropriate for personal phone conversing. This condition is often associated with a deeper emotional/psychological/spiritual condition of vacuousness and refered to in 12 step recovery parlance as chataholic.

So I drive my car over to La Beedo's to give him a ride to the gig and within 30 seconds his cell phone goes off. He answers the call without missing a beat, and yammers away about about Suzie, Sally and Sam, from 168th St. all the way to 96th. When he hangs up, I start to ask him a question and his phone goes off again. He tells me "hold on, I need to get this", and dives back into his fucking babble-bubble. I picked him up the next night and the same thing happened. Seems like he may have a serious case of cell phone-itis.

babble-bubble

An imaginary region most often detected by passive observer(s) where someone is talking loudly and/or unreservedly, usually, but not exclusively, on a cell phone, and has no regard for anyone in the immediate vicinity who is subject to their aural intrusion.

Damn, listen to that chick yammering on her cell phone at the table in the corner. Why doesn't she get a clue and step out of her babble-bubble. I can't even hear myself think.
