Blackie Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Why is it when your talking to someone, No one important, and your phone rings and you get it out your pocket, Why does the person carry on talking? Why cant they pause to let you answer the phone? Is it just me it winds up? I have just started answering my phone now, sod them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I have a take away sandwhich shop its arranged a bit like a bar so i have seats and some customers just talk a load of rubbish but you have to listen so when the phone rings for someone to place an order they carry on talking, so i just walk away or turn my back or if i know them say STFU and i hate it when people come to the counter on the phone and you ask them what they want and they carry on talking so i always serve the next in line if they moan i say you were on the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What you should be doing is as soon as your phone rings assault , maim or just straight out kill who your talking too - you'll find they'll be much less likely to keep on talking as you answer your mobile.

juanchan Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I'd answer the phone personally. Two reasons really: 1. It's their phone call not mine (which it would be if I had to call them back and I'm tight like that ), and 2. Phone calls are few and far between due to text messages these days, it's nice to actually talk instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexM Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 If you were to answer the phone while in a conversation with me I'd consider it extremely rude. 'Excuse me', 'I have to get this', or 'Sorry, one mo' will do fine . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ewen Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Definitely the other way round...if you are in a conversation with someone and the phone rings, its rude to then take up a conversation with the one on the phone...far better to say 'excuse me, I'll just answer this' then tell the telephoner to ring back or get rung back. I'm well known for throwing a wee strop if I'm talking to someone and they answer a phone...I either ask them to stop or reach over, grab the phone and cancel the call. I didnt walk over to their desk to stand there picking my ass while they talk to some lesser mortal in my time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 I get annoyed when people are in for an eye test and their phone rings and they just answer it - then they chat away for 5 mins about boll*cks (can't help but overhear while i'm twiddling my thumbs) and then they ask how much longer it's gonna take to finish their eye test because they're late...

Kopite Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Lol, Mobiles are a pain sometimes i suppose Lol i'm not too bothered if they answer it, just when they then say they're late and start moanin. I just say it would have been finished by now if you hadn't answered the phone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
