Low Cell Phone Battery Causes Real Panic in 25% of People Polled

Hey it's Gary on this one and I've often joked that if my house caught on fire, my sons would make sure to grab their cell phones way before they ever thought of me and their Mom, and apparently that's actually pretty normal.

The results of a new survey were just released and it looks like there's such an addiction to cell phones world wide that 92% of people get stressed out when their cell phone battery is low or runs out.

61% of people say they also get frustrated, and 25% of people start legitimately panicking.

And from what we can gather, some of the stress, frustration or even panic caused might have some justification as 81% of people say at some point a dead cell phone battery has caused a problem for them.

The survey also found that in a disaster, a cell phone would be the number two thing people would want the most . . . right after water. It beat out food, which came in third.
