Do you answer the phone when..
| Mon, 10-15-2007 - 4:59pm |
You can't talk?? I have to get opinions about this. My mom and sister both like to do this when I call, sometimes. After they answer, they say "OH, I can't talk now, I'm busy with the kids...etc." or today my mom said she couldn't even think straight, let alone talk....she was feeling sick today....which I understand, but don't answer the phone if you feel so bad or you're so busy!
So why answer the phone in the first place?? I don't get it and I think it's rude. I would rather talk to an answering machine! I have caller ID, so I always look to see if i want to talk to the person anyway.
That's the end of my vent. I think.

Nope, and I almost always do not answer during school time.
I do not. But I think it is partly a generational thing... I know my parents always seem to get freaked out if they are at my house, the phone is ringing, and I decide not to answer it... But that's what answering machines and Caller ID are for! :)
One of my best friends is single and has no kids. She also has a rather drama-filled life. Whenever she calls, she expects to chat for a l-o-n-g time. But you know how hard that is to do with kids around! And not fair to the kids, really. So, often I do screen her calls. I figure that is better than saying, "Sorry, can't talk right now."
Just because someone calls it doesn't mean I have to talk to them right then.
No, if I'm not going to devote the time to a conversation, I don't answer.

nope.
but, I do *talk to* the phone......LOL
Yes, if it's family I usually do answer it to make sure it's not an emergency or something very important.
I'm the odd man out, I always answer the phone! It drives me insane that DH doesn't!! I don't know what I think I am going to miss, but I'm sure it's something. And with a couple of friends if I don't answer the home phone they will just call my cell. With other busy moms I always start my conversations with "Is this a bad time?" and we go from there. I don't care if my girlfriends tell me they will have to call back, doesn't bug me a bit.
