When I was in High School I worked in the office. Picked up attendance sheets, checked people in or out of the school And answered phones...
One day I answered the phone. I went through the usual...Good Afternoon ___ Jr./Sr. High School. Student speaking. How may I direct your call?
The person on the other end was the RUDEST person I've ever had to deal with: "Give me SOMEONE to talk to! I WANT AN ADULT!"... To make a long story short, this person turned out to be MY Mother!
Needless to say, I quit answering phones that day and have been "Phone Phobic" ever since.
Caller ID was the best invention!
