Remember the days of beepers?
 

Now we got cell hones and all other ways for annoying fucks to get in touch with you. Sometimes the juice needs some quiet time and needs to be alone.............

Back when you had abeeper they would beep you and you can always use the excuse I wasnt near aphone. Now we got ICQ, cell phones, email, and all this shit.

Buddy of mine called me , and when i am busy working on sometimes and in the "zone" I really do not like to be bothered. Calls my cell , calls house line, then calls my office line and so on.

Then say yo where the fuck were you I called you blablablabla line and this line and that line. Jeeeeeeeeez man chillllllllllllllllllllllll
Thank god at least for caller id :)

turn the cell phone off :thumbsup

What about the business line and home phone?

Yeah man, Its getting so whenever the phone rings and I'm in 'the zone' I get so fucking pissed and de-railed I start cussing at the phone. I hate it.

I think I'm psychologically striking back by becoming more and more of a hermit.

Someday we'll have tiny communicators like in star trek and there will be no escape. They won't ring, they'll just start talking at you.

i never answer my phone, msg then callback

dont answer the business line after 5 pm and the home line you can turn the ringer down so you can still hear it but it isnt as annoying =)

It's too late. <img src="http://www.dial-tone.com/nextel.jpg">

I still have a pager... has great voice mail on it.

I can't get a cell phone signal in my area :helpme

yeah those were the days.
as big as a garage opener.

I ditched my pager for a "sidekick"

3 pagers, 2 cells and 3 phone lines... they can all go off at once and the hubby acts like there isn't a noise within 10 miles. lol We just shut them off... thats what voice mail is for. Beepers mssgs? We know who is a have to call right back and a oh no, the sky is falling again for this or that person. lol

Hey Juicy... just tell them you switched to paid cell and that you were out of minutes. :winkwink:

lol they would see through my bs in 2 secs if i used that line

I remember the days of rotary phones and the only answering machines ya had were the kids at home.

I always tell people my phones are for MY convience, not there's and I will answer them if I feel like it... If they don't like it then they can pay the bills and I will always answer their calls....:)

true true :321GFY

Then you aren't using the right attitude when ya tell people Juicy! I thought you were a Guido? ;-)

Wizzo... it smore fun when someone calls about 10 times in a row to try to get the voicemail full and the hubby reaches over picks it up and sets it back down. They usually get ahold of me later then and ask wth?? He says the same thing basically... IF he feels like talking to someone he will, else wise they can go to h*ll. lol

why dont you answer my calls anymore!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah I remember!! Wasn't near a phone dude!!:1orglaugh

I leave my ringers off, and my computers are always muted.

I also cannot stand when people will ICQ me and then if I do not answer that they will MSN me! O.M.G!!!!!!!

Or when they roll by your place unexpectantly and bite your ear off with utter BS

Mr Izzz remeber schnozilla rolling by lol

that motherfucker still bothers the shit out of me, he pulls up-"yo lets take the bikes out" right when i'm in the middle of fucking eating dinner or something............wish i could put his ass on ignore in real life

hehe i still refuse to get a cell phone, im sure i'll end up caving one day but if im not home or busy, leave me the fuck alone and leave a message.

And email too!:)

One of the pleasures of retiring from mainstream business was getting rid of everything except a house phone: which often has the ringer off unless I am expecting a call.

For me the communication 'revolution' started in the early seventies with a two-way radio connecting my car to the office. That was soon supplemented by a 'regular' car phone that had a handset which must have weighed a pound or more. And cost a fortune. The rest followed.

Getting back my privacy was a real pleasure.

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

I feel your pain. I actually tossed my cell phone out the window about 3 months ago and havent had one since.


God i hated that fucking thing

Drives me nuts when people call your cell, your home, your office and leave the same message on all 3 places.

I hate phones and prefer e-mailing people much more.

yeah, the people that constantly call all your numbers suck. drives me up the wall. that's partly why i got rid of the home phone.

but one of my friends used to be real fucking annoying. he'd call the house phone. then the cell phone. then the cell phone, then the house phone, etc. all within about an hour or so.

then, if i didn't answer the phone, he'd show up at my door. now, if i'm not interested in talking to you on the phone, why do you think i want you in my face?

there are just times when you don't do that shit.

I've been delaying getting a cellphone for just this reason..but it looks like I will have to give in ultimately..the downside of not having one is I miss some business from time to time because I don't get the call in time.

like you said...thank god for caller id. i prefer people leave a message in my voice mail and just as soon as i get a sec i will check it. but then you have people who REFUSE to leave a message. i dont get it
