Pansy’s Friday Five
1. Do you like talking on the phone? Why or why not? Yes, because I get lonely for adult conversation since I am a SAHM. But only if it is with a like-minded friend. I do not like wasting time talking on the phone talking about nonsense or arguing.
2. Who is the last person you talked to on the phone? Husband.
3. About how many telephones do you have at home? Two.
4. Have you encountered anyone who has really bad phone manners? What happened? Can you say telemarketers? They call at dinner time asking me for an hour about my favourite alcoholic beverage, what movie I saw or the brand yogurt I eat. I have literally said “I have to go, my dinner is on the table!” and they will not get off. Now I screen my calls with an answering machine.
5. Would you rather pick up the phone and call someone or write them an e-mail or a letter? Why or why not? Email. As rude as this sounds, sometimes I am not in the mood for small talk, especially when I just want to get a point across. This is more so since I had children, again not really having chit chat phone time. Also, if the person is not home, they will get an email eventually.
Funny thing is most people I know are afraid of the computer or something.
