I find it extremely annoying when friends, colleagues or family members ask me if they can use my phone for sometime. Sometimes, friends want to make a call, or check email or browse websites, but I really do find it very uncomfortable handing out my phone to even close friends.

Almost every other person on the internet will have posted an article online, either in their personal blogs or professional websites, even in Facebook and Tumblr!
