Title: Listening in
Post by: Miss Demeanour on April 12, 2011, 10:31:29 AM
I have had 2 calls on my mobile this morning which are obviously not intentional. As in they haven't locked their phone and somehow pressed a button or two.

After the initial "hello, hello" to try and grab their attention how long do you listen in on the basis that you hope to hear something interesting  redface:

You can get texts that way as well, re-sending the last one you sent to the first person in your address book.

I once got several copies of a very saucy text from a family friend, in French, detailing what he was going to do to the recipient.

As gentlemen are not equipped with the body parts to which he referred, I think it was intended for a lady.

I never mentioned it to him or his rather pompous, non-French speaking wife.  whistle:

Nothing so exciting here, although I did once listen to the noise of corduroy trousers walking for about 20 seconds  redface:

I have had several handbag phone calls.  Never managed to hear anything other than muffled noises.
