Everyone who owns a cellphone has experienced the frustrating and maddening experience of having a call suddenly drop. What is even more annoying is when a call drops in an area where you least expect it. There are several spots just like that in Central New York and people are sick of it!
Cell phones are convenient but they can also be a distraction, especially when they go off at inappropriate times. Bill Clinton's speech in Iowa was interrupted with call from Hillary. "I'll have to call Hillary back and explain why I couldn't take it," he joked with the crowd.
