Irrational?

[xcellerate]

Is it wrong that it REALLY aggravates me when people let the phone ring, even when they are not busy to make it look like they are? My roommate (the biggest loser ever) will be lying next to the phone doing nothing and will let the phone wring 2-3 times before he even moves to answer it. But it’s not only him; I have other friends who will let the phone ring a couple of times.

Do you have any irrational peeves like this?

Certain pubescent girls like to leave certain things in our commode.

Wait. Is that irrational?

 

[xLostx]

I let it ring twice, it's just proper phone etiquette...I worked in a call centre before.

 

[Pesmerga]

You are a dork if you answer the phone asap.

You don't want to come off as desperate.

 

[The Mullinator]

Sometimes when my cell-phone goes off and I am just sitting at my desk I answer it right away because it always startles me. Regular phones however I usually just let ring once or twice before answering, its just more comfortable for the person on the other end I find.

For some reason, telephone manufacturers feel the need to make their ringers deafeningly loud and high. I will answer a phone with all available speed, even if it involves leaping over dogs and children, just to make the Goddamn ringer stop. If you don't like that, don't call me, or make me a better phone

I hold my vibrating phone on my crotch and sign up for tons of sales calls.

If I'm eating dinner, **** the phone.
If I'm playing a game, **** the phone.
If I'm masturbating, I don't **** the phone but don't pick it up either.

Oh god, don't you just hate it when you know you HAVE to get this call [because you're expecting it and it's important], pick it up, it's your auntie, she asks what you're doing, and it just kills your mood?

If I'm eating dinner, **** the phone.

*must...resist...urge to...sig..*

 

[Qonfused]

...And then you have to get it back up again which, sometimes, is a pain, especially after hearing a family members' voice.

Iono, if it's my cousin I sometimes have to put her on hold to clean up the mess.

 

[evil^milk]

irrational aggravation? the everlastingly-annoying presence of my parents i shall soon be free of.

 

[ktimekiller]

when i pickup my phone, i always look at the screen if i had called ID, which i dont, i guess im trying to trick myself to think im rich, and i have caller id =/

Masturbation, phone rings... pick up, if girl... *fap* *fap* *fap*. Always pick up phone when female call.

I know the feeling. I think the family hotness skipped me \=.

Anyway yeah, I answer the phone right when I can. It sits next to me, and if I'm just sitting there typing or something, I'll pick it up before the 2nd ring. Sometimes it takes me about 5 to find it

 

[Steven]

I answer the phone straight away which renders me a dork. :naughty:

 

[$kelet0r]

i hate phones




is that irrational?

 

[Sulkdodds]

If I could ever find the damn phone in time I would answer it quite quickly. Not so easy when I have to dig through heaps of dirty clothes, packaging, paperwork, schoolwork, drawings, books and dead bodies.

 

[destrukt]

i hate people who wait 15 or so minutes to answer a sms, to act like they're cool and so on, i mean, seriously and besides, if i msg you, you're probably [kind of] cool.

 

[Cormeh]

Seen as my ringtone is the theme from Bullseye, I let it buzz until "And here's your host, Jim Bowen!"

OMG Sulks! We never knew ye!

On-Topic: I tend to try and answer it as soon as i can, though usually that needs me to pause my music etc which means they wait three or four rings :O

 

[Uriel]

Phones dont bug me, its people always coming to my door. BLEAH, leave me alone, im posting on HL2.net.

 

[Pesmerga]

A rabbi, priest, mormon, and Oprah walked into a bar.

The bartender said, "What is this, a joke?"

 

[Raz]

The sound of the phone ringing cuts through my soul and inspires me to commit acts of violence.

 

[SubKamran]

If you have caller ID, there's no reason to let it ring. If not, then sometimes its good because you can see if it's worth answering if you wait a few rings.

 

[Dekstar]

I just let it ring 'till my mum answers it.

 

[spookymooky]

My phone makes all electronic equipment around me buzz audibly, so often I can pick it up before the person who's calling me actually hears it ring. It freaks em out.
