Guy Wondering Why Friend Even Bothers Having a Phone If He's Just Going to Have Facebook Switched off All The Time

INDIANAPOLIS - Failing to get ahold of best friend Jordan Cattermole Saturday, Indiana man Eric Miller is wondering why the 22-year-old even bothers carrying a phone around with him if he is just going to have Facebook turned off all the time.

Attempting to organize a last-minute meal at Applebee's, Miller insists he sent a private Facebook chat message to his elusive friend of 13 years three God damn hours ago, and for what?

"I just don't see why he pays almost ninety dollars a month for a phone if he's not even going to check his Facebook messages," said Mr. Miller. "I mean, isn't a phone kind of just plain redundant if the Facebook app is disabled? Man, it pisses me off."

Having also tried to contact Cattermole via email and the social networking site Twitter, Miller now just wishes that his friend would use his freaking phone for once and actually send back a typed response of some kind.

"I mean, even if he just poked me or liked a comment or two, I wouldn't mind so much," continued Miller. "But I'm pretty sure he just leaves all of the essential social media applications off most of the day. I don't know what his problem is, but he's damn hard to reach."

Miller says he is concerned that if his friend is unable to respond to basic messages on his phone, it could be a "huge problem" if ever there is a legitimate emergency and someone needs to get in touch with him via either SMS or a social media outlet.

Virtually ready to give up on tonight's plans, meanwhile, Miller was finally able to get through to Cattermole using an unconventional method of communication known as "calling".
