Static iPhone users

Every now and then when you login to Facebook, you will see friends updating their statuses on the go. Like when they are on public transport. Somehow, I think many of them are lying on Facebook.

I frequently see people posting things like "it's super squeezy on the train!" or "the MRT is full of people!". My question is, if the train was really so packed, how the heck did you manage to type that on your iPhone or whatever smartphone that you own?

Obviously, these friends of mine are either fabricating or just trying to exaggerate things in hope that it can grab attention and someone comments on it.

I think we need at least two hands when using a smartphone to surf the net. One hand seems a bit impractical. So if you can lift up both arms with your elbows bent, that means there's adequate space around you.

How can that be considered as squeezy? Wait till you (try to) take a train in Mumbai and experience what the people living there undergo.

This is another reason why you shouldn't get an iPhone. It makes you static because you are just using it as you need it to survive every moment. Oh wait, you are already static if you had followed the crowd and bought one.
