Phone etiquette

[Binky]

I've got two ears, but one brain.

Someone starts talking to me, I hand them a pen and a notepad - Write me a note.

are you saying Craig's a woman?

I think she said bitch!

I think you two are trying to start some trouble. All I need to do now is teach him how to cook!

It's been shown that women tend to have multiple conversations going simultaneously more often than men. I can't do it. If someone starts talking to me while I'm on the phone, I tell them to shut up or I tell the person on the phone to hold on. I can't keep track of two conversations at once for shit.

We're all wired up differently.

There's NO WAY I can do two conversations at once. I barely hang onto one with minimal success


My mom does this to me alllll the time when I'm on the phone at work so I just look blankly at her and continue my phone conversation. After she's done talking and I'm finished with my conversation I make her repeat the whole thing FINALLY, she has stopped doing that to me

I hate cell phones.

My ex would ALWAYS use speakerphone on her blackberry and fucking nearly yell into the phone with it several inches from her face. If you are on the phone, have the private conversation, but keep me out of it.

Only one reason for speakerphone - when multiple people need to be on the call. Otherwise, put that handset to your ear and talk like a normal person.

I hate talking on the phone unless it is to explain something. I am on conference calls just about all day. If it is not something I need to explain I will text.

But to stay on topic, I hate people with no phone etiquette.

Things such as:

Eating on the phone
Yawning
Thinking out loud
Annoying, obnoxious laughs
People who don't mute
People who don't mute and hollar at others that aren't on mute
The list goes on

Yawning is poor phone etiquette? Exactly how in the fuck are you supposed to stop it?

They don't make mute buttons for looks. I know your conference calls are handled quite differently but in a professional atmosphere yawning over 2 people talking is rude, especially when it is obnoxious and the person doesn't realize they are off mute.

typing while on unmute gets on my fucking nerves.

clack clack clackity clack clack.... makes me want to kill things.

People that end a business phone call with "BYE BYE" drive me in-fucking-sane! What are we 12? Bye bye? Seriously? You telling your toddler goodbye or something?
