Oh I know what you meant, and I agree that it's not done that way too much anymore - thankfully! But I admit that I'm old fashioned too, in some respects, and phone courtesy is one of them! :DQuote:

But to have someone call me and let me hang because of another call...no way, they won't find me waiting when they get through.
When I call someone never will I take another call unless from the doctor, dentist or vet office and I always warn the person that we might get interrupted by the call if I'm expecting it.
This is one of Ma Bell's big mistakes as far as I'm concerned. Totally not needed and ridiculous in my book. Guess I must be terribly old fashioned too because not only do I find it rude but a show of bad manners also. I don't do it to anyone and I won't let them do it to me, I hang up and don't take the call when they call back.
Asiel and Pom- PM me your numbers, I am going to get us on a three way call to discuss this further. :)
Aside from my lack of telephone manners, I am pretty tactful otherwise. :D
No way Jo - you'll put me on hold. :eek: Besides - you should still have it from last summer, unless of course you deleted it because I'm not important! :rolleyes::p:DQuote:

OH dear, what did I start???? :o:eek:
Nothing mean between us - these are just joking jabs we are exchanging. :DQuote:

Resist clicking on the stories and the media may "get it!"
If you're talking about Casey Anthony, Karen - you don't need to click on anything. She's plastered all over the t.v. again. I personally don't give a rat's a$$ about anything about her. Given enough time and enough rope, she'll eventually hang herself. She's so stupid that she didn't know enough to quit while she was ahead, but with that huge ego of hers, she'll never be satisfied if she's not in some spotlight. :mad:
Karen, just like Pom, I don't click on anything... She's just THERE all over the place again all of a sudden.Quote:

As for putting a caller on hold momentarily to take an incoming call, if someone did that to me it would not ruffle my feathers in the least. The key word is MOMENTARILY. If the second call requires immediate attention, just come back on the line and let me know ASAP and we can resume our conversation later. This is done in the work place all the time. Business phones have several incoming lines for this reason. It is not a breach of etiquette nor do I find it insulting.
Avajoy...you are right. Something has shrunk.
Anyone know what has happened? :confused:
Edwina's are also gone. I was enjoying their banter and looking forward to reading more. Maybe both decided to remove their posts.:confused:I am disappointed.
You must have it mixed up with - perhaps the Religion and Politics thread? This is my first post in this thread.Quote:

I won't miss drinking (I quit in 2011) this year. I won't miss the hangovers and all the stuff that drinking brings.
Drifty- I wish you peace and best wishes for beginning this new journey!
Singers who do a totally inappropriate redition of songs at public events.
Steven Tyler, I thoroughly enjoyed your SSB at the game last week and I find Christina Aguilera as the most annoying, obnoxious person in entertainment.
It's a travesty that a voice like that is attached to a twit like that.
And do not start me on Celine Dion.
