Pom, just so we are clear, I wasn't meaning YOU were old-fashioned, just that that sort of phone call handling seems so old fashioned to me.

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!Originally Posted by Cataholic

I have to agree with you on that one Pom. I'm one who thinks it's about the rudest thing someone can do. If I'm on the phone with someone and they get a call I will hang on only if they say it's the doctor or similar, vet, dentist. I know those calls have to be answered and they only last a few minutes. 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.

No way Jo - you'll put me on hold.Asiel and Pom- PM me your numbers, I am going to get us on a three way call to discuss this further.
Besides - you should still have it from last summer, unless of course you deleted it because I'm not important!

LOL. I wonder if I do still have it? It wouldn't have a thing to do with you being important...more like my feeble minded brain remembering where I put it.
I'm Canadian......eh?
OH dear, what did I start????
Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, champagne in one hand and strawberries in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and screaming WOO HOO - What a Ride!
