You don't deserve a phone. Go back to writing letters or something.

This one's for you Shweta. And I am gonna list my OWN annoying things, just for you, lol.
This blog is about phone petpeeves that PISS me off. And I bet, you guys as well. Okay, so here goes the rant.

I HATE it when people are in public places using their speaker phone. For example, I have seen countless people on Mississauga Transit freakin' talking about their personal crap on speaker phone. Do we really wanna know that you forgot to wear your condom last night? Do we really wanna hear you and your boyfriend fighting on the phone? Do we really wanna hear you go "huh? huh? huh?" every three seconds. NO, we don't. You know the bus is loud, and you can't hear the person. So you put them on speaker phone? Genius!

Biggest petpeeve - when you're put on hold for more than ten minutes. I mean, seriously.. TEN minutes? I can take a shower in that time frame. Actually.. not really. I take way longer. But still.. you get the point right? You can always call people back. It pisses them to a lesser degree rather than putting them on hold for a decade. Stop trying to talk to people when you know you've got things to do. It's better just to say, "Hey, I am gonna finish up some work I am doing and I shall call you around so and so time." The other person really doesn't wanna be on the phone with you while you do your laundry or assemble your new dining room table.

People who use their computer while talking to me. I know a jerk who watches youtube videos while talking to me. If you do that one more time, I am gonna hang up on you. I know you're reading this you creep =)

When people put others on the phone merely after saying, "you wanna talk to him/her?" and before you could even say yes or no.. the phone lands up in another person's hands. This has happened to me once. I said "not really" by the time the person already had the phone. And THEN it becomes super awkward and embarrassing. So at least wait for the person to answer yes or no before the phone starts to fly around. Geez!

I am one of those annoying people who reply a text 4 days later. I know it's very annoying, but I can't help it lol. I am not very likely to reply your text on time unless you're cute and you're a guy =D I kid.
I am also very lazy with returning calls, which is a pet peeve for many people. I should work on this though. (Happy Shweta?)

People who eat while on the phone with me. Buddy, I ain't gonna die in the next 10 minutes. Give yourself time to have a freaking meal. I am flattered that you just cant have me hang up and you might as well listen to me while eating but still.. NO.

People who take the phone into the washroom. I can hear you flush and wash your hands. I don't mind being on hold but please don't make me hear the sound effects of you leaking. No thank you. Really, no thank you.

People who use headphones and speak so close to the mic that you just wanna kill them. Especially who breathe so hard in the microphone and it feels like a hurricane rushing through your ears. Dude, what are you doing kissing that microphone? Move away from it and then talk!

Background noises - I find them so disturbing. If you're at a party with loud music, I understand. I can call you back or vice versa. Don't call me yourself from a very loud and noisy place and then expect me to be "clear" on the phone. I can't hear you, you can't hear me. Doesn't it make sense to talk at a later time? Duh.

People who call me past 1:00 am and ask, "were you sleeping?" No, I was dancing in my underwear.

And that's pretty much it for my rant, feel free to post your comments as to what your petpeeves are if I missed any =)
