Get rid of our phones?!

[fionawhite0001Participant]

I’ve just about had enough of mobile phones and how they control our lives, especially the lives of people with ocd. No one ever questions washing their hands before answering their phone, no matter how worried they are about germs and contamination. We think that no one gets ill from phones but I’m sure that’s wrong. Phones are dirty, they’re contaminated. If we really think about where we put our phones, what they touch, who touches them etc we’d change the way we use them. One day, we’ll have solid evidence our phone are filthy, and we’ll come to our senses and get rid of them. Until then…they control us!

I’d be far more concerned about mobile phone addiction than any contamination issues. I refuse to have a mobile phone. A Tablet is bad enough.
