It's things like this that make me root for the great big Internet EMP. Sooner than later, hopefully.

My phone is always turned off unless I am using it
and I have the location setting turned off. Just call me stand-offish.
It's just a phone and I'm not that important that folks have to talk to me all the time.
However I do have problems with women following me everywhere.
Not sure if that's politically related or not but I can't seem to turn it off.
