I Cringe When I Hear The Telephone Ring

I have three phones.

 

I ignore (pretty much) my land line.

 

And I never know where either of the two mobiles are.

 

I am just not a phone person.

I just want to throw my phone away. :smile3:

 

For a while I had a ringtone from "Halls of the Mountain King." It began so harshly that I was actually afraid when the phone rang. I switched it to something lighter and bubblier.

I just don't worry about unknown numbers.  No voicemail?  Ok -- you don't want me to talk to you then.  Voicemail that doesn't say what company you represent?  Ok -- you obviously don't want me to know who you are yet you know my name, but I was taught by my mommy not to talk to strangers so I won't talk to you either.

Had a boss at one point who had a Really Good Solution to the mystery callers (back in the days before RoboCaller)

 

He'd pick up the phone with the words, "City Morgue"  

 

Followed by dead silence.

Works really well....     :reaper:  :rip:

Just once I want to answer a call with "Ploomfs Mortuary,  you kill 'em, we chill 'em" just to see what the other person says.

I will be trying these...if I ever get brave enough to answer the phone!



I read somewhere that when this certain dad would answer the phone & it was a telemarketer asking to speak to the head of the household, he would invariably hand over the phone to his three-year-old :)

A Policeman's Fraternal-something-or-other called to ask for donations. They asked for my dad. I said, "He can't come to the phone right now, I'm sorry." They asked for my mom. I said, "She isn't at home." Then they asked for me. I said, "Ummm, I can't." They said, "Oh, are you too young?" so I sez "Yes!" and then later I thought, "Oh carp, I lied to a policeman..."

All you have to do is pick up the phone and say, "It's done, but there's blood EVERYWHERE!!!" then hang up. And pray to God it wasn't the police, or you're in some major trouble...
