Phone Etiquette: Rude Calls

There is a right way and a wrong way to use the telehone, and I wish those who do not know or respect the difference would please abstain.


I received a voice message today. They caller said that I should call such and such number and ask for such and such. Well, I do not know the incoming number, I do not recognize the voicem the caller id dnot identify himself, so why should I call!?


I sometimes receive calls ro someone I know saying "Hey, it's me," or "Hey, what are you doing." The obvous response to the first is, "Who is 'me'." The obvious response to the second is, "Answering the phone and listening to vague dribble from God knows who because I certainly do not."

The one that just torches me is answering the phone to be told, "hold on." The obvious response is, "No way in hell."

The other torcher is answering the phone to a swall of noise, or yelling or background noise and/or the caller talknig abvoiusly in conversatoin with someone else. So, then why did you cal me? please wait until you have finished your first conversation. How rude! The obvious resonse is: hang up.
