Why I hate talking on the phone...
This seems to be a typical phone conversation and is exactly why I absolutely hate talking on the phone. I hate phones, period.
::ring ring:: Me: Hello? Caller: Hi. ::silence:: Me: Umm... can I help you? Caller: Is Ryan there? Me: Yes, this is. ::silence:: Me: Can I help you with something? Now, for those of you with little phone etiquette, this is what a phone conversation SHOULD sound like... ::ring ring:: Me: Hello? Caller: Hi, is Ryan there? Me: Yes, this is. Caller: Oh hey, this is Juicy, you coming over to cuddle tonight? Straight and to the point. Beautiful! I hate when people waste time.

i FUCKING HATE THE PHONE!
i cannot stand when people phone me, they phone me for no apparent reason and phone me as if i should occupy there boringness. or when i am always the one who is figuring out what to do or where to go for the night. my BIGGEST pet peev is when people say "give me a call when you are doing something" or "give me a call when you figure it out". why dont you get your loser ass up start doing something then call me, why the fuck should i call you when you are sitting around being bored? are you special? NO! stop calling me when you are bored! my pet peev is when people phone me and i am the one doing the talking, alot of the time now i just plain do not answer my phone. |

I personally don't like talking to someone on icq... out of the other 7 convo's I have going, and they decide that they want to talk to me on the phone.
Yes, the phone is easier to be clear and explain what you want and so on... however, the other 7 convo's, my work and my masturbation all get put on hold once I have a phone in my hands. It sucks ![]() |

I would prefer a phone convo over ICQ, simply because you can get to the point fast, and it is easier to avoid a misunderstanding.
But you are correct, a large % of the world these days have seriously shitty phone skills/etiquitte. I am amazed at how retarded my kid's friends are when they call. All the manners of a mule. |

I have often received calls that were obviously wrong numbers.
Me: Hello? Caller: Miranda. Me: Excuse me? Caller: Miranda! Give me Miranda. What the fuck? Were these people born in a barn? I shudder every time I hear the phone ring.

yeah, you really have to learn how to multi task lol...I know it is hard...I'm use to the phone, i'll chat with anyone biz or pleasure. We have site members that call the office just to chat with me LOL. when im tired of talking or have said all I need to say I end the call. The anti phone communication was one of the biggest shocks leaving corporate america where I had 3 phones on my desk & a cell phone...one of the three phones was a portable one that my boss wanted me to take into the bathroom..I use to go home with a sore throat...I use to make or recieve about a 50+ calls a day...Actullay all you have to do is look at my cell phone bill and it shows I love the phone!!!

I hate when people don't say anything when you're on the phone with them...I got shit to do, if you aren't going to engage in a conversation, wtf did you call me for? duh!
I swear half my phone calls from my ex are like that...sometimes I wonder if he does that just so he stays fresh in my mind, lol. |

It takes me 10 times (at least) longer to do something via phone than by email or IM. There are obviously times when you NEED to speak on the phone, but they are rare ;)

Phone and ICQ both have their purposes. ICQ is great for multiple convos. Phone is faster and more personal.

I have call display. If I don't recognize the # calling me I simply do not answer. I let the machine pick up, and if they can't find it in their brain to leave a message they will never get to talk to me. Ever. Period.
I've had people say to me "Man you are one hard guy to get ahold of" I say "No I'm not, I'm almost always home" Them: "But I've been trying to call you, never an answer" Me: "Did you leave a message?" Them: "No" Me: "Then there's your problem." (idiot) I never pick up for telemarketers.

the one who calles should introduce himself first. He is the one making the call. Then the receiving part introduces himself.

Hahaha, I sometimes hate my phone.
About a year ago, I had a situation with Allstate Insurance, where they would call my cell phone about 5 times a day, with a different representative every time, for about three weeks. I'd had my cell phone for over 5 years, and only changed my phone number once, about three years previous to the incident, when I moved back down state. Apparrently, some woman named Sylvia Parker was giving out my cell phone number as her home contact number, and she must have been in some debt, because the people who were calling me were not happy reps. They were convinced that they had the correct number, but that I was trying to avoid Sylvia's calls for her, or was actually Sylvia, and just lying about it to not deal with their situation. It took me three weeks, talking to several supervisors to straighten out the situation. I don't even know a Sylvia Parker. ![]()
