I can't even tell you how many times I could've used that last weekend! hehe

It shows how shallow our society is... and how much money the guy who came up with it is going to make

Have you ever been on a date that was absolutely horrible? I have, and this would be handy. It would also be helpful when you run into that super chatty and annoying person you knew in high scool. :S But yes, I do agree that it's very rude and shallow.

There's a service in Australia that you can buy that you can block OUTBOUND calls from your cell...it's designed, apparently, so you won't make those drunken phone calls to the ex/others that you'll regret.....so you can block your ex's phone number while sober and thinking straight!

^now That would be VERY usefull

[Two_Six]

That's a pretty good idea :)

this whole service is assuming that you dont have a real friend to call you while youre on a date?

it may be shallow, but its a safety measure ive taken before on a couple of dates, besides, it works better with people cause the person youre talking with can talk real loud and make the situation sound more important

situation1:
me:oh hey so yea youre a nice girl la dee da
girl:blah blah blah
*call.. friend: HEY DOOD I JUST GOT IN A CAR ACCIDENT AND MY CAT CONTRACTED AIDS GET YOUR ASS OVER HERE NOW

situation2:
me: oh hey so youre a nice girl la dee da
girl: yes i am interesting
call.. friend: HEY DOOD I JUST..
me: whoa dood are you drunk? sorry, no.. i cant make it out to the party, im on a date with a wonderful lady right now, maybe some other time, ja_raul has PRIORITIES (as i wink at girl)

ive been doin it for years, me and a friend help each other out when the time is necessary. i really didnt think they would make a service for this type of thing, i find it hilarious that they did though.. hilarious!

i'd like to recieve the call in french just for fun.
*CRAZY FRENCH HERE*
"excuse me?"
*MORE CRAZY FROG TALK*
"buddy who the fuck is this?"
i would just find it so amusing.

if you're too ashamed to bow out of a shitty date, sucks to be you...

like chicks never get their friends to call them partway through a date with some bogus excuse in case the guy turns out to be a creep.
