What Ever Happened to Phone Etiquette?
by Darla
It seems that people now adays use their cell phones to hide behind in desperation of finding a mate. I'm starting to see a trend here as simple every day mistakes can lead to sms annoyance or random prank phone calls.
Case in point: A few weeks ago I was sending a message to a friend of mine who's number I knew by heart. Lol I guess you can say I was "all thumbs" because I accidentally mis-typed a digit. This lead to some person responding asking who I was. When I checked and saw that I had input the wrong number I responded with an apology. Now any other person such as myself would have just left it at that. Wrong. This person proceeded to send me messages asking who I was, how old I was, where I lived, do I have a man... yada yada yada. I turned the phone off. Hours later I turned the phone back on and 26 messages were waiting for me. EEK!!!
Yesterday someone called me and I missed the call by a second. I called the person back because I know personally that people sometimes just don't like leaving messages. I hang up on my sisters voice mail all the time! Some guy answered and I asked who he was trying to reach. I told him that he had the wrong number. That wasn't good enough. He asked who I was and I asked why... then that next dumb ass question... "do you have a man?" CLICK.
What the hell is going on?
That is SO rude! I'm outraged on your behalf! *Wanders off muttering under breath*
