People Lie When They Say They’ve LOL’d and Other Interesting Cellphone Stats
UK phone retailer Right Mobile Phone conducted an interesting survey among their customers and got some intriguing results. According to their survey:
- 71% say using their favorite song as their alarm clock, versus the system default or no alarm clock at all, made them feel happier that day
- 80% say not receiving a reply to their text messages makes them feel “negative”, whatever that means
- 41% said going by one day without getting a text message made them feel unpopular or lonely
- Less than one in 10 people, 9% to be exact, actually laughed at a text message despite 61% of people using “LOL” in a text message
- None of the people surveyed have ever rolled over the floor laughing, otherwise known as ROLFing, or laughed their asses off, otherwise known as LMAO or in my case LMFAO
- 82% of people love to hear from their partners or people they deeply care about on a daily basis
- 18% of people don’t pick up when their parents call
- 78% of people tell someone that they love them using a mobile phone on a daily basis
- Less than 7% of people said they could go one whole day without using their mobile phone
- On average, people have 95 people in their address book
- 69% of people call or text less than 8 people a week
- 18% of people have pretended to receive a call or text messages
Now, what can we distinguish from this survey? We’re all a bunch of fucking liars and sneaks.
