Q:So . . . you missed a call because you stepped out of your office without taking your, um, portable phone with you?

When I go somewhere, I grab my iPhone and pop it into its belt pouch, even if I plan to be gone only for a few minutes. (Well, really, I tend just to carry it around all day.) As a result, I’ve missed a bare handful of calls over the last year or so, usually because I was behind the wheel or the caller hung up before I could answer.

I suspect the blinkylight would drive me nuts, but that’s purely personal taste, and at least it isn’t a LOUD OBNOXIOUS RING-TONE BASED ON TACKY MUSIC.

First of all, belt pouch? I do carry my iPad in a modified lime green fanny pack, but find pockets and body cavities do the job for the far more diminutive iPhone.

I work at home. I see no need to grab my phone when I’m going down the hall to the toilet. I do like to play Angry Birds whilst pinching loaves, but I also find it’s a good time to masturbate, and that takes both hands.

I need to use the toilet a lot.
