Phantom cell phone vibration 2 comments Added on 06/08/07 by

For the last week my upper left leg has been sending phantom vibration messages to my brain and left hand to pat my pocket even when my phone isn't in it.
It has been sort of freaking me out because I would like to think that I am not addicted to checking my email or waiting for a text message from a friend. However, I think my brain has other ideas about the importance of my reliance on cell phone stimulation.
But after doing a search, though, I don't feel so alone, as this seems to have been happening to people for a few years.
Read the comments on this one from 2004. I titled my post before I found that one. Not only do we buzz the same but we begin to verbalize alike.
This happens to me all the time, especially when I am driving. Sometimes it happen s when I am just sitting doing nothing. I think it is a mass Pavlovian experiment by the cell phone companies. They just have to figure out some subliminal way to get us all to do some evil thing when our phones go off.
Wow - I'm glad some else is feeling this. I thought it was my just my nerves, maybe my brain, or maybe someone's calling from the other side. Happens to me frequently.
