Question: Why don't people answer their phones?



Caution: This is a venting post of one of my pet peeves. Do not read on if you think you might get your feelings hurt, but know that I still love you!

OK... yes... why don't people answer their phones when they are clearly home or are within reach of their phone? Do they see that it is me calling and think, "I don't want to deal with her right now, I wish she would stop calling me." If that is the case, then, I really need you to tell me that so I will get the hint.

Not only is it terribly rude in my book to ignore phone calls and/or not return messages, a lot of the time I am in need of HELP! My entire purpose of this post is to let you all know that often times I find myslef needing you. I need you to answer your phones and to call me back when you see that I have called. I still love my neighbors and family and will continue to do so despite the lack of picking up the phone. If you just don't want to help me out, don't be afraid to let me know, then I won't call you ever again and life will go on. And I will still probably think you a friend to me.

Now, I know there are times you just can't get to your phone and I understand that, or you see that you don't know the number and don't answer, again, I get that. What I don't get is when a phone call goes completely unacknowledged. Just don't get it...

Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel much better now...

Oh, and I love 'The Office' and you too!

I hope that wasn't toward me... I never answer my phone, but I fall into the category of crazy life and usually can't get to my phone. When I do I usually have one if not both of my kids screaming for or about something:0 sorry if it was me!
