It goes away. At least it did for me.

My favorite butt dial was when a client left a loooooong one over the holidays years ago. Our voicemail system had a limit of 15 or 20 minutes and we were treated to the client reading his grandkids a Christmas story. It was really cute.

One of my favorite t.v. commercials is still the one where the husband is "butt calling" his wife. I live now with two people who are complete slaves to the ringing of their cellphones. If you suggested they not answer each and every call----if they tried to do that, the withdrawal symptoms would be horrible to witness.

I only use my cellphone for reporting graffiti, abandoned shopping carts and illegal use of gasoline blowers within City limits. If you called me right now, I wouldn't even know it.

Sounds like a case of Cell Phone Pavlovian Response Syndrome. CPPRS is common these days. For some relief try not automatically responding to every call like Pavlov's dogs. Let it ring and go about your business. Later when you come back to it you'll realize you missed nothing. Cell phones also come with an 'off' button which you can feel free to use.

You control the phone, or the phone controls you.

Riinnngggg! Woof!

Phantom vibrations would be no problem. It is the real rings that are the problem. Each evening we get salesmen cold calling our home number. Worse yet, at least once a week we get a call at 2:00 AM, The caller is usually seeking the sheriff substation. We could ask for a new number but the last time we were issued a new number (for a cell phone) we got daily calls from a collection agency. Someone at the sheriff's office has been giving out our number. People who think they are calling the sheriff at 2:00 AM are not highly apologetic when told that they have a wrong number.

Pretty interesting. As usual, and obviously, if you don't like R. Hoyt, don't click on the link!
But this link/inspiration for her rhyme is very pertinent to online communities:
