Get answering machine or voicemail. Is Sweden big on caller ID?

I also hate talking on the phone, I always get really nervous right before I call anyone, because I won't know what to say or how to end the conversation correctly and it will end up going something like this,

" Uh, I gotta go...Uh, c u round(person in Kentucky i'm in MD,haha)...Bye"

LMAO. The one thing I can say about phone convos are that once I feel the convo needs to end I am quite abrupt. I have to work on this.

Person: "So I bought this new bag..."
Self: "Well alright, I'll talk to you soon. Goodnight."

hmm I don't like incoming calls...
Phones make loud noise and I feel like crushing them
Text messages I don't mind.

When I was younger if the phone rang I would run outside so that I couldn't hear it and wouldn't have to answer it... that or I'd pull the phone cord out of the wall.

I've worked on phones helping people diagnose and fix their computers, internet, and accessories, so I don't mind phones as much now.

I hate my cellphone though... I just had the plan cost cut in half, and it's still a ridiculous price... the plan before was the same as the monthly cost for a new car and I didn't even make use of half the features... plus I have had some problems with text message services that I had never signed up for but still receive at cost, and downloading too many games and songs to my phone. I finally got rid of the internet on my phone... that should help some.

I hate "dead air" on phone calls... where nobody says anything... so awkward. I always end up humming or whistling without realizing at first. That or I do the "weeeeelll... ahhh... yeah... so, I guess I should go.... we'll talk to ya later tho!" *click*

I have a telephone interview on Monday with selfridges. Never had one before.

If I were afraid of phones..I think one half of my social life would be gone.

^^lol. I rarely talk to anyone on the phone. When I do it's just to say "yeah see you at teh park in 5 minutes. Bring your guitar... I got mine... bye". Honestly that is 99% of my phone calls. But weird... a few minutes ago my best friend's little sister called me. I was like, wtf but it turns out she just didn't know where he was and he wasn't answering his phone. But I was pretty confused.

Talk about confusion! Did you ever have a conversation with someone over the phone that you thought you knew? But it turned out to be a complete stranger that dialed the wrong number? Now that was weird..and a little embarrassing. Cause you get to the point where you've got to get rid of them once you realize whats happened..and what do you say? I'll talk to you later? So I just hung up.

Oh boyyy... I've gotten loads of embarrassing calls from this guy thinking I was his girlfriend... pretty much raped my mind. Bleah. But the shitty thing was he called me a dozen times and just started talking... It took him forever to realize I wasn't her. And by then I pretty much was so embarrassed I just wanted to crawl in a hole and die. I don't ever want to hear those things from a guy, and I really don't even want to know what kind or a girl he was dating that she liked being talked to like that. meh. Like I said, raped my mind before I could even hang up. And he just couldn't get it that he had the wrong number! It really took him 3 weeks to figure it out.

By the way Qui..I know this is totally off track from this telephone topic. But I just had to tell you that I love your word:



bleah


I just read the Shout Box where you said bleah. It makes me laugh a little everytime you say it. Bleah..bleah..BLEAH! I LOVE IT!! I think I am going to adopt the word too!

"bleah".. what a great word! It encompasses so much in just one(?) or two(?) syllables. Qui...you're gifted..really you are!
