Phones

[andrewducker]

I noticed a few reaction posts to my poll yesterday - and a fair amount of commentary that making phone calls unnerved quite a few people. It doesn't bother me at all, so I quizzed a few people about what it was about making phone calls they didn't like. Likewise with phone etiquette. Hence, a new poll.

I always answer the phone at work when not in a meeting because that's my job. It's not really an option not to. At home I answer it when I feel like it - not during a meal, usually, and not after 10pm.

I am getting better at making phone calls, but I'd still prefer to use text of some kind where possible. I do, at least, not have to get other people to make my hairdresser appointments these days.

Though, your example above gets me too - the girlie habitually texts, which is no good when you're standing in the shop wanting to know if we need milk RIGHT NOW.

Yeah, the last bit really gets to me too. I try to get hold of Julie to check on something and can't because her phone's on silent, and it makes life much harder.
