Why do some people have to get the newest model of something they see? So their phone is one month old and they can't get one ring tone that they want doesn't mean that a new gadget is in order. Or their friend got something that they don’t have they have to run out and get it. Just because you don’t have it, doesn't mean it is necessary for a vital life process. My pet peeve is when people run out and get something that they “need”. Here are a few examples. About one year ago, my friend saw a phone in someone’s desk. He was so compelled to play with it I thought it was his. He kept on moving the keyboard up and down making an agitating beep. Finally, it was time for him to go and he left the small blue contraption there. About three days latter he got the same phone (making it his second phone at the time). It was the exact same model, size, and color as the one in the desk. I mean, who needs a phone that can make your friends cringe at a high-pitched beep. As you can see, some people have an urge to be the one to have the newest things that their friends will awe at. This wasn’t the only time I have witnessed this. It was around 2005 when the Wii console was first coming out. At the time my friend had it and we were over his house playing it. Now, the same friend who got the phone came over. When he was there, he was making Miis and playing Wii Sports. He enjoyed it so much that he had to be dragged away. The next day, Edison endured a tropical depression all day long. I'm talking about drenching rains and large gusts of wind. During that same exact storm, the same friend who was dragged away got his own Wii. He got it in all the soaking rain and gale winds. Therefore, there are people who have to get the newest things and get themself into a trance like state when it comes to getting the newest things.
