OK, I have two phones for calls and one also gets texts. Then there are the e mails evil:
I realise that I dread the pings, pongs, bongs and rings which accompany incoming.
Why? Because I realise the majority are either shite or worse: bad news, deaths, people wanting money, people wanting me to do things I don't want to do, people not doing as I tell them etc. etc.
I can't recall the last time any of these sound effects brought any good news to be honest noooo:
Getting a bit phone phobic tbqh

I know what you mean.
About 95% of my emails are crap, mainly from companies I bought from before Christmas ~ I am unsubscribing from them as they come in.
I even dread the postman who brings nothing but bills and shite.

I wonder if Miss D thinks that about your calls...? whistle:

lol:
Why do you need one phone for texts / emails and one f
or calls . Most phones can do all of that in one :thumbsup:

Because I have a landline ::)

I agree.........

But I do have a video entryphone. They ring my bell and I can see who it is. Then I don't let them in eveilgrin:
Even better, it's broken at the moment cloud9:

Unless I really want to hear it I have phones on silent. Even when at work I keep the work one on silent. I rarely answer straight away unless it is one of the children. The work one is switched off when I am not in work. If anyone really wants to talk to me they will find a way. My Boss tends to text my private mobile if he wants me to know something immediately. It is merely that you have to train people in communicating with you in a way that you want them too. I prefer emails cos then the person who wants to talk to you have had to at least thought about what they have to say to you and then they don't waste my time. redface:
-
My pet hate are those who email me and then phone ten minutes later because I haven't replied immediately. All in good time is the standard reply.
Almost as annoying are those who text and want instant response .... I am at home most of the time and when I am why the fvck should I carry the mobile?

What twat put a QWERTY keyboard on a Blackberry?
What twat thought you would stand any chance of using a Blackberry?
Either:
You would succeed in using it enough to run up a bill in £1000's and jam the network
or
30 seconds after getting it out of the box, you would drop it in a urinal.
Some pairings of people and things are doomed never to work out
Like BM and ladders or Miss D and milk.

You put four pennies in, dialled the number and pressed button A. If you changed your mind you pressed button B to get your money back...
I think... redface:

1. Put coins in the box.
2. Dial number
3. When the person answers, press button A, coins drop inside.
4. If nobody answers, press button B to get coins back.
If you just wanted to annoy your Aunt, press button B at stage 3.
People often forgot to press button B when a call failed and left the phone box 'loaded'.
Passing scrotes like young Snoopy would go round pressing B in all boxes looking for a windfall. ;)
