2 for me, 3 for DH. Who's side are you on? (silly post, just having fun!)
Just curious. Have you ever met someone who calls you relentlessly? For instance, at any given moment, I may grab my phone and there could literally be 7-8 missed calls from DH. No voice messages, no calls in my office, no texts...just multiple missed calls within like a 5 minute time span.
That seems psychotic to me. If I call someone and they do not answer, I leave a message or send a quick text. If its urgent, then I will especially make sure BOTH of these things are done, and I leave it at-that. I do not sit there, utilize my precious time and continue to call someone who's not picking up. That's NEVER the option I choose. NEVER.
DH disagrees and says I'm the looney one. He's just checking on me and wonders why the hell I never answer my phone. But he's acting like I sit there and HEAR my phone ringing and not pick up. When I don't answer, there's a reason. Everybody knows that when I'm in court, my phone isn't on. When I'm in the office, I'm usually in client meetings or on my office phone. Plus, the reception sucks inside my office building. With that said, my WHOLE family know how to reach me. If I'm cooking downstairs and SD is calling my phone which is upstairs, then guess what? I don't answer. She'll finally call the land line, but only after about 8 calls to my cellie.
Saturday night, DH called SD like, no kidding, 5xs within 2 minutes. I know because I was laying on his lap and kept hearing her voicemail pick up. I thought it was a TV commercial or something (you know how they replay the SAME commercials late at night?!). Then I jumped up and said "a ha! That's where she gets that crap from! Why are you calling her like a crazy person?! As much as she checks her phone, leave a message & keep it moving!" We laughed and then he tried to down-play it like he's not a nutcase for doing it. Lol!
Does it make the person answer faster? No. Does it only frustrate you, the caller? Yes. So why do it?
Someone ignoring your calls is one thing and not what I'm talking about here. Again, these are legitimate missed calls, from the same person, without any message or text, just REPEATED calls. Ugh, that's crazy as hell to me. How about you? 2 of our friends agree with ME (yay) and 3 agree with him (we had card night & took a poll, lol)
