The phone is one of the most evil inventions ever thought up by any sadist. I hate it. I hate having to speak with someone I cannot see. I hate having to rely entirely on verbal communication. I hate the social aspect of it. I hate this hard plastic thing pressed to my ear because it hurts.
::takes deep breath::
My brain also has serious problems with "translating" sounds that are at similar volumes. So if someone is on the phone with me, and they've got noise in the background, or I've got noise in the background, and that noise is around the same level as the person's voice, I simply cannot comprehend what the person is saying. Plus, I'm very sensitive to sounds in certain registers, and phone static? Hits a lot of those registers. I have yet to find a phone entirely free of static to my ear, and so there's actual physical pain from that, plus the pain from the plastic itself.
Yeah, there are days when I wish I could live in some kind of anti-grav environment where nothing, and I mean nothing, ever touched me. But phones are a special kind of hell, aggravating me on more levels than I can really articulate.
