Many mobile phone addicts and BlackBerry junkies report feeling vibrations when there are none, or feeling as if they're wearing a cell phone when they're not. ............. I read this headline and immediately knew what it was about. The first time this happen to me I thought I was going crazy or maybe I nevermind and didn't realize it. ;> Anyway, then my mama innocently asked me one day "do you ever feel your ..." Yes, mom I do too!!! Well guess what looks like we are not alone!

Originally Posted By magnet This happens to me multiple times a day, even when the phone is not in my pocket. Just as with the ring of Pavlov's bell, I have to wipe away the slobber erupting from my mouth as I reach for the phone that isn't there to answer the email, text, or phone call I'm not receiving. And then, emotionally drained and drenched in saliva, I hang up my leg.

Originally Posted By Stacers76 YES!! I keep mine in my right front pocket and people must thing I have a twitch, always checking my hip when it's not actually doing anything after all! And I thought it was a wacky phone.....Yeahoo I'm not alone!

Originally Posted By Pixie Glitter So my question here is am I more or less weird than you phantom vibration folks because I think I hear my cell phone ringing when it's not, and in fact, when the phone I hear ringing is not even my ringtone? Never mind, I'm pretty sure I already know the answer.

Originally Posted By Stacers76 lol ok my phone is sitting on the desk right in front of me and I still just did the pocket check, sheesh, I need to stop reading this thread!
Originally Posted By Ursula I never carry my cell on my person since they designed cell phone pockets for handbags. But, yes, that is me you see holding up my handbag to my ear because I can hear the phone ring even when it isn't ringing.
Originally Posted By chickendumpling LOL. Great visual, Ursula! And magnet made me practically snort with "And then, emotionally drained and drenched in saliva, I hang up my leg" LOL! At work I have to take the pager for a week at least once a quarter. It is extremely stressful and I hate it. I can feel that <expletive deleted> "phantom" pager on my waist for at least two days after I'm off call! lol. Matter of fact, when the show ER first started I watched it all the time and then, I think in the second season, they started having the character's pagers go off and I would automatically check my waist. I would drive me batty and I had to stop watching the show because that sound drove me crazy!
Originally Posted By chickendumpling It. It would drive me batty, not "I" would drive me batty. <--rolls eyes at herself.
Originally Posted By friendofdd I knew Ursula was proud of her handbags, but holding them to her ear really seems a bit ostentatious.
