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.

Making phone calls to people I don't know, I think, depends on which way the favour is going. If I'm ringing to book a restaurant, I'm doing them a favour (effectively, letting them do their job), so it's ok. If I'm ringing a restaurant to ask them a question in a survey, they're doing me a favour, so I don't like doing it.

Bad example, but you get the idea.
