Pad Patter 2/2: Talking on the Phone

I dislike it, too. Seems like everyone these days doesn't like it.

When I'm on it, I spend way too much time. I have a couple girlfriends who are long distance that I love to talk to, but we're on for hours at a time when we talk.

 

depends on the person calling LOL I love to call my mother and the other family members, but that´s it. I cant stand it talking hours on the phone (I have a friend, that is living far away from me and talking to her, means two hours on the phone minimum - I´m always happy, when the battery is low LOL

 

wow I'm surprised how many hate the phone! But yeah I'm one as well!
I will text, email, msn, chatroom with you all day, but try calling me and I'll probably ignore you! lol

For me it's just that my brain works better with the written word. Brain to fingers works fine. Brain to mouth has some major connection problems!

 

I am a screener. I don't mind talking on the phone, but I have to know you! I have 3 sisters and the 4 of us have all been stay at home moms until recently (2 of them started working now that their kiddos are all in school). We would spend hours on the phone while doing house work or folding laundry, etc. I was so thankful back in the day (like 10 + years ago) when they started unlimited long distance with land lines. We seem to talk less now, but I still talk to one of them probably daily.

 

I talk mostly with my parents/sisters and few of my close friends on the phone. I hate texting. Caller ID is the best invention ever. I always screen incoming calls.

 

I screen all calls.

I am on the phone for a good portion of the day with my IRL job - so I tend not to use it as much after hours.

 

I normally don't talk on the phone much, but I do hate texting long things, so with my mom, I'd rather just talk on the phone. My really really good friend for a billion years and I will talk on the phone for an hour to two, but it is because we only do that every few months and there's lots of catching up.

 

text text text. and i rarely answer if anyone calls - i call back when i have a quiet moment (which is rare during waking hours).

 

I hate the phone, but I'll talk to my mom and dad often and lately my husband since he's out of town right now... but that's about it. My sisters call sometimes too I guess. I prefer email. Then again, my emails have been SO many lately that I'm kind of fed up with that too.

 

LOL. I'm there too. I have a good friend who lives on the east coast and I just have a hard time sitting down to send her a big long email all of the time. If I can get on the computer, I'd rather be scrapping. I'm such a bad friend. Ugh.

 

I hate talking on the phone!! I don't mind skyping, but I much much much prefer talking in person or chatting over IM!
