I Hate Face Time

Apple thought this was a great idea? Wrong!

FaceTime should be called PlasticSurgery Time.  Unless you are under the age of 20. Facetime is a nightmare.  The idea is that you can see the person you are talking to and have a face to face chat that is over the internet and therefore doesn't cost you a dime.  I think it was created that way to compel people to go for it, despite the bad-ass picture quality.

The first time my friend rang me via FaceTime, I nearly fainted at seeing my own image, let alone hers. It was like looking at that computer imaging website that ages you by choice.  I have to hold the phone up over my head, face the wind so my hair looks fuller, put on make up and turn my head slightly left, which is my good side.  All of this while the phone is ringing.  No Shit.  And by the way, sometimes I really don't want to be seen!

Facetime? Take a hike. Think I will take my calls the old school way, voice only.  Let the fantasy stay as it is, that I look as young as I feel!
