I have a huge pet peeve about the phone. It's not talking on the phone. I don't mind that. I rarely get calls so I don't have the nerve to whine about how I HATE to talk to people. Seriously, no one calls me.
But I ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS pick up the phone. You can bet that when you call me, I will pick up the phone 86% to 98% of the time. If I miss it cause I didn't hear it or if couldn't reach it in time, I always call right back. Like while people are leaving me a message. If I don't pick up your call during normal waking hours, (i.e 6:00 am to 11:30 pm) you can bet I'm doing one of the following:
1)Sleeping
2)In the Shower
3)Avoiding you
But I don't avoid anyone! And during any other activity I will pick up the phone. This includes during dinner and while I'm on the toilet. Yup, that's right. Did you ever suspect you heard the toilet flush when you were talking to me? Chances are that wasn't your imagination. Or did I ever put you on hold for only like 4 seconds? Yes again. That was me muting, flushing and then walking out of the bathroom quickly. I ALWAYS answer the phone.
(Warning!! Gratuitous caps lock to follow!)
WHY AM I THE ONLY ONE? WHY DOESN'T ANYONE ELSE ANSWER THEIR PHONES? WHY, WHEN I'M TRYING TO CALL PEOPLE TO TELL THEM SOME NEWS, DO THEY AVOID MY CALLS, THUS MAKING ME PISSED OFF AND NOW NOT WANTING TO SHARE MY NEWS WITH THEM ANYMORE?!?!
DON'T BOTHER CALLING ME BACK IN 45 MIN! THE NEWS IS DEAD, I DON'T CARE ABOUT YOU ANYMORE!
And I can't reach anyone right now. No one. None of my siblings (I tried ALLL FIVE OF THEM), not my mother or my aunt or my cousin (who is the real person I need to talk to ). I'm so frustrated I want to scream.
ANSWER THE PHONE, PEOPLE!! And on a similar note: ANSWER YOUR TEXTS!!
Please don't make me do this again!

Ok, I'm going to call Bulls**t on you right here and now.
How about the time you called me and you were all like, "I'm REALLY upset right now, I don't know what to do!" And you said you'd call me back.
And you didn't.
And I called you. And you didn't answer...for 24 hours straight.
I thought you were dead.
I thought Marcelo had murdered you.
I called your mom and left crazy ass messages.
I tried to force the BYU operators to give me Julie's contact info.
I FREAKED THE GEEK OUT.
and you had left your phone on vibrate and lost your phone!!!! and went to a family gathering before trying to find it???
*rant over*
I'm happy you're alive everyday now, and I want to hear your news!
maybe people don't answer because they are not home. actually, you didn't answer or call back the last time i called you. i'm banding with Reagan on this one.
I later found out they were at a baptism. So Judd was right, they weren't home. But I only called one home. Every other call was a cell. And just so you know, here is a list of calls I made:
Mom's Cell
Sarah's Home
Sarah's Cell
Jeff's Cell
Tina's Cell
Julie's Cell
Nate's Cell
My Cousin Marcia's Cell
My Cousin Dakota's Cell
My Sister in Law Clarin's Phone
If I had MaxKyle's number, I would've called him. Same for Jaxton's cell. I'm sorry, but that's a lot of calls to make with no one picking up the phone.
And as for that not picking up the phone in 24 hours thing, I have a good excuse for that. My phone was on silent and lost!! How could I find it? And how would I have known anyone was calling me? I just thought it was being silent like any other day (because no one calls me)
Dude, I think the more important discussion is what was SO important you had to call every single member of your family and their dog???
(And I'm totally guilty of call screening - BUT only if it is a number I don't know OR if it is a friend and I know the conversation will last a bit and I only have a minute or two. I'd rather not answer and call back when I can talk then answer, cut them off and say I can't talk.)
