There’s no doubt that smartphones have made our lives much, much easier… but let’s be honest, at times they’ve made it a little bit more annoying too.
JOE, with thanks to the Carphone Warehouse, reckon it’s time to put an end to all the phone habits which wreck our head.
So, listen up, if you find yourself doing any of these, cop on a little bit, will you?
Abbreviating text into nothing
Dis nt a gud tin 2 do, k?
Checking social media every 15 seconds
You’re probably reading this article on a phone, which is fantastic, unless of course somebody is trying to have a conversation with you. Talk to them for God’s sake.
Being loud on public transport

Communicating purely through emojis
What does a message containing a smiley face, a panda and a dollar sign mean anyway?
Googling the answer to every question

Keeping your phone turned on while at the cinema/theatre
Why, oh why, would you do this?
Publicly choosing your ringtone
You evil monster.
Using your phone as a Hi-Fi while on public transport
Not everyone wants to listen to Scooter’s greatest hits on their commute home. Earphones are a thing, you know?!
Leaving voicemails without saying anything
First, the excitement of getting a voicemail. Then, the frustration of realising that it’s just dead air.
So there you have it, 10 things you really shouldn’t do as a mobile phone user.
Now that you’re educated on the matter, you might be wondering where’s the best place to pick up a new smartphone.
