Some people seem to be so utterly insecure that they are unable

need for company. How sad!

Most inexplicable to me are those conversations held on the way home
with someone at that very place waiting for the caller to arrive.

What's so life shattering that it cuoldn't wait until they get there?
Nothing apparently.

The only reason why people use mobiles for such frippery is that the calls
are so cheap. And then the phone companies wonder why they don't make a
profit. Absurd.
