Which ear do you use...

[Joker]

Which ear do you hold the phone to when talking on it?

[Joker]

I always hold the phone to my left ear when talking on it.

[HondaMan]

Start with my right and often switch to the left.

I have always used my left, and can't hear as good when I use my right :donno:

Joker - who had his ears tested, and was told it is all in his head :laugh:

[TSX 'R' US]

Right ear mostly... right handed :D
when my ear gets too hot.. left ear...

speakerphone if I can...

[Joker]

Right ear mostly... right handed :D
I am also right handed, but again, only use my left ear :donno:

[TSX 'R' US]

it's all in your head :D

[Joker]

it's all in your head :D
You think?

Joker - who hears fine, but really hears the phone better with his left ear :donno:

[johnej]

Depends

Wether or not I have the ear bud on. then neither

If not mostly in my left ear, or if busy with left hand, right ear...

Joker might help if you make a slight change to the poll and say ear bud.

Those of us who have a mt car had better use ear buds...

[larchmont]

I watched Mickey Mantle as a kid, so I became a switch-hitter. :D
Usually left, but switch to the right if a lefty pitcher comes in. :lol:

Larchmont, who has never seen ej be so analytical before. :donno:

[ChinchillaX]

I hold the phone on my left ear most of time, don't really use my right ear.

[Joker]

I hold the phone on my left ear most of time, don't really use my right ear.
So I'm not the only one :D

Wait, are you right handed CJ¿?

[ChinchillaX]

I'm a lefty

[GT-40MarkIV]

Yeah, I hold it up to my left ear too...
funny thing is .. I am right handed: PLay hockey Left handed, Golf Left Handed, but Bat Right handed...
It's very strange :S

[johnej]

well larch there is always a first time. I did put some thought in it - ever try to drive and shift with your phone in one ear or another - it just isn't going to work. :)

ergo earbud

[joerockt]

Left ear, right handed. I think its just how the body is setup. I remember when I was first learning to ride a motor cycle, I could make left turns really well, but right turns felt really weird to me.

[Revenent]

Neither.

I just mash the speaker phone button and talk that way. :D

[TSX 'R' US]

Neither.

Nextel? :D

Those phones can get annoying when you're trying to eat at a restaurant... BEEP BEEP!! :mad:

Who said anything about cell phones? :)

I've never had a cell phone. :D

[larchmont]

n00b! :D

[Revenent]

n00b! :D
No - just don't want people to be able to contact me whereever I am. :)

[TSX 'R' US]

No - just don't want people to be able to contact me whereever I am. :)
except for your boss... :nervous:

[Revenent]

Nope, not even them.

[larchmont]

You can keep it off, you know. :rolleyes:

Larchmont, who keeps it off. :nod:

Actually.....I can't believe nobody has complained about it. When people ask for my cell #, I tell them that I don't like getting calls on it, I mostly just use it to MAKE calls -- I don't like getting interrupted, especially when I'm driving :nod:
I can't believe nobody yet has said, "What kinda crap is that???" :donno:

[johnej]

I don't like getting called either (means work for me), however if i want a job (phone is company paid) I keep it on 24 hrs a day. all my sites know the number

[APOGEE]

Mine is strictly for work as my company pays for it. My friends have it but they don't abuse it so it is not too bad. I like having it.

Oh I know that. But if I keep it off, then what's the point (yes, I know, calling out to people)?

Another reason is the fact I've never been able to find a decent cell phone plan. I want one that I can call Canada with, but most of those plans put it into the $75 range - not something I want to pay.

[johnej]

i agree before my company started paying it, i was on a 2000 min plan for 99 USD.

$100/month????

Cripes.

I'm looking more to the $50 or less plans. :)

[johnej]

Well it was less than 300 usd for overage on the minutes...

[Revenent]

Well it was less than 300 usd for overage on the minutes...
Ummm - $300????

Ummm - I'd probalby only use around 60 to 100 minutes a month. Probably just to call my parents every now and then. Or possibly call a few friends in the States.

[johnej]

yeah, I have a friend who had to pay 800 usd over the normal amount due to the minutes he went over. he did not get reembursed for it from the company either (waited to long according to the higher ups)

Good grief!!!

That's insane! I barely use my land line as it is. I don't even really use my office phone either.

That's crazy. this guy like to hear himself talk?

[Revenent]

That's crazy. this guy like to hear himself talk?
Yeah, that's what I'm thinking - but I didn't want to say it out loud. :p

[johnej]

He was stuck on an escalation that went on for a week. The cu did not give him a land line for the con calls, so he had to use his cell

[Revenent]

Good grief. What kinda crazy job does that guy do?

[johnej]

We do field work for sun microsystems. He is an engineer that they stuck on the escalation (could have been me). Just the luck of the draw. he was there to hand hold the customer

[joerockt]

What was the topic of this thread again?? :slap:

[Noel]

Switching to either does not reduce or move the radiation emissions, just thought I'd let everyone know. Use a handsfree if you need to be on the cellular phone.

Now that's gotta suck big time.

[johnej]
