Friday Five
1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Sometimes. I really hate cold-calling anybody. This includes calling the pizza place to make an order. I don’t know why. It’s an irrational thing. If I like you, I like you to call. But I guess I’m more comfortable with email…less personal. Gee, I’m a drag.
2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? Annie Hobbs.
3. About how many telephones do you have at home? Five. One in each bedroom, one in the kitchen, one in the living room, one downstairs…
4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? Hmm. Probably. I probably waited them out and got out of it as soon as I could. I don’t like to hang up on people. Although…speaking of hanging up. One time I called my ex (I think we were on the rocks at the time) and his stepdad, who had an unexplainable hatred of me, answered. I asked if my ex was there, he said no, and hung up. Didn’t ask if he could take a message, didn’t let me ask if he’d be home, nothing. That’s just one of the reasons I am no longer with this particular ex.
5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? Oops. Already answered this one. Email is best for me, letters are wonderful if you actually take the time to write them…phone calls just don’t happen to me. That’s why three girls could share one phone line like we did last year at school.
