- BDOUG, on 06/04/2009, -2/+16Car wrecks, walking into traffic, brain irradiation, now this. What will it take to get people to put the damn phone down?
It's an incredibly useful device, I'm not anti-cell phone at all. But it's ridiculous how many folks feel they need to be on the phone while driving, walking down the street, and shopping in the freakin' grocery store. Most of our daily routine is NOT that interesting, we really DON'T need to share every single minute of it. Especially when putting self and others at risk. Let's get over ourselves and our need for always active connectivity.... just a teeny, tiny bit...please?
Someone in my own family drives while texting all the time. We keep warning her how incredibly dangerous this is. She's stubborn as hell, "entitled" to it, and won't listen to us old fuddy duddies. I just hope she gets a ticket from the cops before she wakes up in the hospital. - Supertrout, on 06/04/2009, -0/+11"Porn elbow" is a bigger issue due to the internet.
- cl2yp71c, on 06/04/2009, -0/+8Twitters may actually gain a few IQ points whilst in the coma.
- iamthewurst, on 06/04/2009, -0/+4Dugg for "Ill" in the headline.
- chesterogilvie, on 06/04/2009, -0/+3My girlfriend loves to call me while she's driving and talk about nothing important. I tell her she needs to put the phone down, DRIVE, and I can pretend to listen to how her day was when she gets home in 15 minutes. It drives me insane.
- unit001, on 06/04/2009, -0/+3Conan Obrien should take time out of every opening monologue to show pictures of people claiming to suffer from "cell phone elbow" so the audience can give them a quick 2 second hate.
- anexanhume, on 06/04/2009, -0/+3Wow, so many ailments with the prescription "Grow some balls."
- yomer333, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2I think our current "3" is doing just fine.
- deezeejoey, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2I remember reading about this 6 years ago... old news.
- FXNGLAS, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2Does this mean you should jerkoff after talking to get the blood going again?
- kornwin, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2I remember when I got my BlueTooth (sp?). I never realized how much of a tool I looked like until one of my friends told me take it off if I wasn't taking any calls that required me to be using my hands for something else. :p
- jawdroppingjack, on 06/05/2009, -0/+2...........

BRO FIST BACK BRO - TheInformer, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2The biggest new disease wasn't mentioned: Being a Wuss.
- dollar0dot02, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2I am posting this while driv
- inactive, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2What? Was this not a problem in the age of landlines? WTF!?
- crazygamer67688, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2This is one more reason that people should interact more with the people around them than the person on the other side of the phone. I have a friend that is entirely addicted to his cell phone. He's always texting someone or calling someone with it, and rarely pays attention to anything that is going on around him. I don't think that blue-tooth earpieces are the answer, but rather learning to pay attention to the things that go on around you. It's safer, and far more considerate for those around you.
I am not anti-cell phone, I just prefer that they be used in more useful ways than just chatting while at the grocery store or while driving. - cuoops, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2There are many other things that cause this, not just cell phones.
One common cause of problems is frequent bending of the elbow, such as pulling levers, reaching, or lifting. Constant direct pressure on the elbow over time may also lead to cubital tunnel syndrome. The nerve can be irritated from leaning on the elbow while you sit at a desk or from using the elbow rest during a long drive or while running machinery. The ulnar nerve can also be damaged from a blow to the cubital tunnel. - inactive, on 06/04/2009, -0/+2sorry about the elbow dude

BRO FIST FOR MY BRO - TBBucs, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Cell phone and wired age in the same sentence? Isn't that a bit oxymoronic?
- inactive, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1what about cell phone brain tumors?
thats way more serious - cl2yp71c, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1At least it's still better than a bunch of maniacs talking to themselves.(BT)
- Ghost96, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1It does ***** hurt. If I sat around talking on the phone for an hour with someone it would seriously ***** hurt. Then again, they've got these awesome little devices called earpieces now that can assist with this. Spend the money on that, unless you want to spend more money on the doctor visits for "yet another ailment".
- beesaretasty, on 06/04/2009, -1/+2I'm more afraid of irradiated nuts.
- mistergoomba, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Cell phones are part of the 'wired' age?
- jawdroppingjack, on 06/04/2009, -1/+2for all you cell phone elbow haters out there...i have double cell phone elbow but its actually from lifting heavy weights. I had an ulnar transposition and its a bitch to deal with. Imagine not being able to hold onto anything and your pinky and ring fingers are a cold numb and it never goes away. its terrible....but if you got it from holding a cell phone id call you a little biotch too
- inactive, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1You mean the wireless age?
- krayzee911, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1I figured "Cell Phone Elbow" had to be when you elbow-drop the stupid bitch in line ahead of you who can't hang up her phone long enough to order food...
- wesleyzero, on 06/04/2009, -1/+2Get a Bluetooth. Problem solved.
- etruscan, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1I'm not pro or anti cell phone, but I rely on it for work. I am one of three IT folks at a medium sized airport and the phone is a critical part of my kit. If I'm not talking on it, I'm emailing on it... and it goes with me at all times. If I'm going out to golf 18 holes, I still need to be reachable.
Having said all that - I'm pretty sure if you're on a long call and you move your phone from hand to hand to give your alternate arm a good stretch while it's free, you will be okay. - kornwin, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Ill Sounds.
- BDOUG, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1T8erT0T: thanks, I needed that. :D
- dvda2, on 06/05/2009, -0/+1I'm sorry why is this an issue. Blue tooth has been out for years. This article is no longer relevant. Ask her to give his paycheck back.
- Cybrwolf, on 06/04/2009, -0/+1Christ, just buy a ***** headset, and be done with it!
- AraleNorimaki, on 06/04/2009, -0/+0Kif, I'm feeling the Captain's Itch.
- shrudheuie, on 06/04/2009, -0/+0I'm still waiting for the ear tumors to kill off all these *****
- namelessXsilent, on 06/04/2009, -1/+1"bluetooth douchbag"
- hillaryjkson, on 06/16/2009, -0/+0amazing.....here is some interesting and wonderful information for me.
- SianRuck, on 06/16/2009, -0/+0I read your article and i got many information.i hope you will write again useful article.
Thanks for great links with nice tips that will be helpful to me thanks again.
